Most calls start with something small: a few ants near the sink, a trail toward the pet bowl, or ants showing up around the trash even though you just took it out. Then the trail gets stronger, spreads to another room, and suddenly you are dealing with it every day.

Island life makes it easier for colonies to build up outside without anyone noticing. Patios, pavers, planters, storage sheds, docks, and landscaping beds give ants tons of places to nest. So even if you wipe down the counters and spray a trail, it often comes right back because the colony is still active outside.

Eastern Exterminating helps Monroe County homeowners, vacation rental owners, and businesses get real control of ants by treating the source. We identify the ant type, find where they are getting in, and target the colony so the problem stops restarting. Call Now or Schedule a Free Inspection and we will help you get it handled quickly.

Our Ant Control Process

Step

1

Inspection and Assessment

We start by following the activity and figuring out what is driving it. In Monroe County, we typically check:

  • Kitchens, pantries, and trash areas where ants find easy food
  • Bathrooms and laundry rooms where humidity and leaks create moisture
  • Door thresholds, window tracks, baseboards, and plumbing penetrations
  • Outdoor hotspots like patios, decks, outdoor kitchens, sheds, and dock areas
  • Nesting signs around pavers, rock beds, mulch, planters, and foundations

The goal is to find the reason they picked your place, not just kill the ants you can see.

Step

2

Custom Treatment Plan

Monroe County includes everything from canal-front homes and condos to restaurants, shops, and vacation rentals that turn over guests constantly. Your plan may include:

  • Targeted baiting that workers carry back to the colony
  • Spot treatments in the most active areas inside and outside
  • A perimeter barrier to help cut down re-entry
  • Simple prevention tips that fit your property and lifestyle

Step

3

Full Extermination

If the colony is still active, ants can look gone for a few days and then pop back up like nothing happened. We focus on colony-level control by targeting nests and satellite colonies that keep the trails coming.

Step

4

Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention

In the Keys, ant pressure stays high. If you have had repeat issues, ongoing service can help by:

  • Confirming the activity is truly resolved
  • Keeping high-pressure areas protected
  • Reducing the chances of trails restarting after rain and humidity spikes

Why Ant Control Matters in Monroe County

Ants can take over fast

Ants recruit quickly. Once they find a reliable food or water source, the trail gets stronger and spreads. Depending on the species, ants can:

  • Get into pantry items and food-prep areas
  • Spread room-to-room through baseboards and plumbing lines
  • Bite or sting, especially outdoors
  • Nest in hidden spaces that are hard to reach without the right plan

If you are seeing ants during the day, it usually means the colony is established and actively foraging.

Local relevance: common ant issues in Monroe County

In the Keys, we commonly see:

  • Fire ants that build outdoor mounds and deliver painful stings
  • Sugar ants or ghost ants that show up fast in kitchens and bathrooms
  • Carpenter ants that are drawn to moisture and can nest in damp wood
  • Crazy ants that can be stubborn outside and form messy, unpredictable trails

Why Choose Us for Ant Control in Monroe County

We understand Keys conditions

Monroe County is not like the mainland. Constant humidity, outdoor living, and coastal conditions change how pests behave. We treat based on what works here, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Licensed, professional treatments

We use targeted applications based on the ant species and where activity is happening. That means better results and less unnecessary treatment.

Clear communication and practical guidance

We explain what we find, where ants are likely coming from, and what small changes can help prevent repeat trails, especially in kitchens and outdoor areas.
