Florida has dozens of ant species — ghost ants, white-footed ants, big-headed ants, and carpenter ants all need different treatment plans. Surface sprays from the hardware store often “bud” colonies (split them into multiple new colonies), making the problem worse. We use non-repellent baits the workers carry back to the queen.

It’s the most common ant-treatment mistake in Florida and almost every homeowner makes it: you see a trail of ants in the kitchen, you spray contact insecticide, the trail dies. Two weeks later there are three trails. Here’s what happened:
We use non-repellent bait formulations the workers don’t recognize as poison — they carry it back to the nest where the queen and brood feed on it. Results take 7–14 days but eliminate the colony rather than splitting it. For carpenter ants, we treat the structural galleries directly.

Surface sprays kill the workers you see and trigger budding — colonies split into multiple new colonies. We use non-repellent baits the ants carry back to the nest, eliminating the whole colony including queens.
If you see large black or red-and-black ants and find sawdust-like frass near wood, you may have carpenter ants — a structural issue. Different treatment than nuisance ants.
Real reviews from Central Florida homeowners we’ve helped.
Heard scratching above our bedroom for two weeks. Two other companies wanted to spray pesticide and call it done. Central Florida Trapper actually went into the attic, found the roof rat entry, sealed it, and replaced the contaminated insulation.

A raccoon tore through our soffit and was raising kits. They located the babies, reunited them with mom outside, sealed everything, cleaned the attic. Done in three days. Insurance paid most because the paperwork was so thorough.

Same-day for a snake on our pool deck. Turned out to be a non-venomous black racer, but they explained the difference, removed it safely, and didn’t charge us a panic fee. Will absolutely call again.

Yes — when applied per label and dry (usually 2–4 hours after treatment). We use products approved for residential use and explain re-entry intervals before treatment.
Depends on the pest. Cockroach gel bait shows results in 5–10 days. Mosquito barrier is immediate. Ant baits take 7–14 days to eliminate the colony. We follow up to confirm.
Both. One-time treatments for active issues, and scheduled programs (monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly) for prevention. We don’t lock you into multi-year contracts.
We re-treat at no charge if the same pest returns within the warranty period. Specifics depend on the pest and treatment — we put it in writing on the invoice.
