Ant Species in the Pee Dee Region

🔥

Red Imported Fire Ants

The aggressive ants building painful-sting mounds across Pee Dee lawns. A single mound can house 250,000 workers. They attack anything disturbing their nest.

🪓

Carpenter Ants

Large black ants that tunnel through damp or decaying wood. Florence's humidity creates perfect conditions. They don't eat wood but excavate extensive galleries for nesting.

🏃

Argentine Ants

Invasive ants forming massive supercolonies with millions of workers. They trail along foundations, enter through tiny cracks, and overwhelm kitchens seeking sugar and moisture.

How We Handle Ant Infestations

Species Identification

Different ants require different treatments. We identify exactly what species you're dealing with and locate their nesting areas—whether in your yard, walls, or under your foundation.

Colony-Targeted Treatment

We apply professional baits and treatments designed for each species. Fire ants get broadcast granular bait plus individual mound treatment. Indoor ants receive gel baits in harborage areas.

Perimeter Defense

We treat around your foundation, entry points, and exterior to create a protective barrier. This prevents new colonies from establishing near your home.

Ant Control Questions

Why do fire ants keep coming back after treatment?
Fire ant colonies can extend deep underground, and queens survive many surface treatments. Professional two-step methods—broadcast bait plus mound treatment—reach the entire colony including queens. Retreatment may be needed as neighboring colonies migrate in.
How can I tell carpenter ants from termites?
Carpenter ants are larger, have a pinched waist, and leave smooth-walled galleries with no mud. Termites leave rougher tunnels and mud tubes. Carpenter ant frass looks like sawdust; termite frass resembles tiny pellets. Both warrant professional inspection.
Are your treatments safe for my family?
We use products approved for residential use and apply them according to label directions. Most indoor treatments are targeted applications in cracks and voids away from living areas. We'll explain any specific precautions for your situation.
How long does treatment take to work?
Bait-based treatments take time—ants must carry the product back to the colony and spread it to nestmates. Expect significant reduction within 1-2 weeks. Fire ant mounds treated directly show results within days.
