FT. LAUDERDALE ANT REMOVAL
professional ant extermination services
Though small in stature, ants can pack a powerful punch. Because of their ability to lift objects that are much heavier than their abdomen, these pests can wreak havoc on any Fort Lauderdale home. For example, have you ever encountered a line of ants carrying food from a cabinet in your kitchen? This happens regularly. If you aren’t quick to notice, ants could get into your home’s infrastructure and create serious issues down the road.

identifying ants
Unlike other bugs, ants are easy to identify. Given that they roam in colonies and sometimes form lines, ants have distinct features that set them apart. The tricky part comes into play when you’re trying to figure out the type of ant you’re dealing with.
Three of the Most Common Ant Species Found in Florida:
1. Fire Ants – these ants are often identified by their reddish-brown abdomens. Known as one of the more aggressive ant species, fire ants will attack humans and animals with venomous bites. If a person is allergic, fire ants pose a dangerous and sometimes fatal threat. While fire ants can be found indoors, they’re more likely to abuse a homeowner’s lawn with mounds and landscape damage.
2. Sugar Ants – native to Australia, sugar ants made their way to North America in the early 1900s. While this species of ants isn’t harmful to humans, it can create a fiasco in any home kitchen. Given their name, sugar ants are attracted to any type of sweets. They can even find sugar in foods you may not have thought about before. For example, if you tend to leave grease out on your stovetop, sugar ants will be attracted to the sweetness of the oil. If you have a sugar ant infestation in your kitchen or home, you’ll want to act soon. Failure to do so could result in a colony forming!
3. Ghost Ants – named after their pale-ish color, ghost ants can also be a pest inside your home. One common way to identify these ants is the odor they give off when they’re crushed. Some describe it as a coconut fragrance. While it might sound nice, it can linger for a long time. This is especially true if you have a lot of ghost ants in your Fort Lauderdale home.
