Trails along edges
Ants follow baseboards, countertops, and foundation lines in organized lines — a sign a colony is feeding nearby.

Ant control
Ant control that goes after the colony.
Spraying the ants you see does little to the nest behind them. A Plus Pesticide finds where Jacksonville ants are coming from and treats the trail, the entry points, and the colony.
Ants in Jacksonville
Why ants keep coming back to Jacksonville homes.
Jacksonville's warm, humid climate keeps ants active nearly year-round. Species like ghost ants, Argentine ants, and fire ants thrive here — and the worker ants marching across your counter are only a fraction of the colony living in a wall void, under a slab, or in the yard.
Store-bought sprays kill the foragers and can actually split a colony into multiple new ones, which makes the problem worse. Effective ant control starts with identifying the species and following the trail back to where the colony actually lives.
What to look for
Signs you have an ant problem worth treating.
Nests in the yard
Fire ant mounds or soft soil piles along walkways and driveways point to colonies that will move toward your home.
Winged swarmers
Flying ants indoors, especially after rain, often mean a mature colony is nearby or nesting inside a wall.
Sawdust-like debris
Fine piles beneath baseboards or window sills can indicate carpenter ants hollowing out damp wood.
Our process
How A Plus treats an ant problem.
01 — IdentifyWe figure out which ant species you are dealing with and where the trails lead — the treatment depends on it.
02 — Treat the sourceTargeted baits and treatments reach the colony, not just the visible foragers, with entry points addressed along the way.
03 — Keep it clearWe stay in communication until the activity is gone, and let you know what to watch for between visits.
Common questions
Ants questions we hear.
Why do I see more ants after it rains?
Heavy rain floods shallow nests and pushes colonies indoors looking for dry ground. It is one of the most common ant-call triggers in Jacksonville.
Are fire ants dangerous?
Fire ants sting, and their mounds can be a real hazard for kids and pets in the yard. They are one of the species we treat most often in Duval County.
Do I need monthly ant service?
Not always. Some homes clear up with a single targeted treatment; others near heavy vegetation or with repeat pressure do better on a regular plan. We recommend what fits your situation.
