Expert Ant Control in West Palm Beach, FL
Ghost ants, big-headed ants, fire ants, and the rest. We trace the trail back to the colony and treat it at the source—because spraying the line you see only scatters them.
Our Process for Dependable Ant Control in West Palm Beach, FL
When you see a trail of ants marching across your kitchen counter, your first instinct might be to spray them. But spraying visible ants only triggers a panic response, causing the colony to split and multiply deeper in your walls.
Our process requires patience and precision. Palm Beach County’s warm, humid climate lets ant colonies grow year-round, so we take the time to identify the species and trace their foraging trails back to the hidden nest. Ghost ants, big-headed ants, and fire ants each behave differently—and each needs a different approach.
By applying professional baits that the worker ants carry back to the queen, we eliminate the entire colony at its source, providing total eradication rather than a temporary fix.
Handling West Palm Beach's Toughest Ant Problems
Florida is home to some of the most persistent, invasive ant species in the country—Ghost ants, Big-headed ants, and aggressive Fire ants that build mounds across South Florida lawns.
Understanding the biology and behavior of each species is what sets Lume Pest apart. As West Palm Beach locals, we know how these ants move through Palm Beach County homes and yards, and we use their own foraging habits against them—targeting the root of the infestation, not just the ants you see.

Standard bug sprays kill the workers on contact but stress the colony, causing “budding.” The colony will split into multiple new colonies, making your problem much worse in the long run.
Ghost ants are tiny, incredibly fast-moving ants with pale, almost translucent bodies. They love sugary foods and frequently nest in wall voids and potted plants.
You will typically see a massive reduction in activity within 24 to 48 hours as the bait is shared throughout the colony and reaches the queen.
