Ant Control in Northeast Florida
Recurring ant treatment that targets the colony — not just the trail you see on the counter.
How Gray Pest Control treats ants
Gray Pest Control treats ant infestations in Northeast Florida by identifying the species, locating nesting sites, and applying targeted treatments that reach the colony rather than only the visible workers. A licensed technician inspects entry points and interior and exterior nesting areas, then sets a recurring schedule to keep new colonies from establishing. Service covers Jacksonville, Clay, Duval, St. Johns, and Flagler counties, including St. Augustine, Orange Park, Palm Coast, and Fernandina Beach.
A wide range of ants, year-round.
Northeast Florida's climate supports a wide range of ants year-round — including fire ants, ghost ants, carpenter ants, and white-footed ants. Different species nest in different places and respond to different treatments, so correct identification is the difference between knocking back a trail for a week and addressing the colony. Carpenter ants in particular can damage wood over time, which ties into the structural awareness we bring as the team behind Gray Home Inspections.

Ant questions, answered.
How much does ant control cost?
It depends on the species, the size of the infestation, and your home — we give a free written quote.
Why do the ants keep coming back after I spray?
Store-bought sprays often kill the foragers you see but not the colony, so the nest keeps producing more. We target the colony itself.
What kinds of ants are common in Northeast Florida?
Fire ants, ghost ants, carpenter ants, and white-footed ants are all common here, and each is treated differently.
Are carpenter ants going to damage my house?
Carpenter ants excavate wood to nest and can cause damage over time, which is why early identification matters.
Is ant control included in your plans?
General household ants are covered in all plans; carpenter ants and fire ants are included starting with the Gray Plus and Gray Guard plans.
