Why Do Ants Invade?
Ants are social insects, living in colonies with distinct roles for each member. Worker ants are sent out to scout for food, shelter, or new areas to establish a colony. Worker ants often invade homes and businesses in their search for new resources. South Florida’s warm and humid climate encourages ant activity, providing them comfortable living conditions all year.

How to Identify and Eliminate an Ant Infestation
To effectively combat an ant infestation, one must first identify the type of ants and the severity of the infestation. The two most common signs you may have an ant infestation are ant trails across your floor or counters and nests or colonies close to your home. To keep these little soldiers out of your home, follow these simple steps:
- Thoroughly clean your kitchen regularly. Ants are often attracted to kitchens due to easily available food sources. Keeping crumbs off your counters and floors will discourage ants and stop them from thinking your kitchen is an all-you-can-eat buffet.
- Seal entry points. Identify and seal cracks, holes, and gaps on the exterior of your home. Ants often enter through small holes or gaps in your siding, doors, windows, and foundation.
- Use ant bait stations. Ant bait stations are an excellent choice for controlling the ant population. They usually contain an insecticide mixed with an attractive food source for ants. Once an ant finds the bait station, they will recruit others to come to the station and take the insecticide back to the colony.
- Work with a professional ant extermination company. The best and most efficient way to eliminate ants is to work with an experienced residential exterminator like Petri Pest Control.
