Professional White Footed Ant Control treatments
We provide white footed ant control treatments throughout Brevard & Indian River Counties
At Pest & Lawn Organic Guard, we understand how frustrating white footed ants (Technomyrmex difficilis forel) can be for homeowners in Brevard and Indian River Counties.
These ants can overrun your home and yard, forming large colonies that are hard to eliminate with DIY treatments. Luckily, we’re here to provide you with an expert solution that will keep your home and landscape ant-free.
What Are White Footed Ants?
White footed ants get their name from their distinct white feet (tarsi) and black-to-brownish-black bodies.
These ants are primarily found in the southern half of Florida, and while they don’t bite or cause structural damage, they are considered a significant nuisance pest.
One of the reasons they are so difficult to control is due to the size of their colonies and their ability to spread from house to house.
They’re often transported to properties via new plants and mulch from landscaping projects, so your beautiful new yard can unintentionally become a haven for them.
Our Expert White Footed Ant Control; How we get rid of white footed ants
We take a comprehensive approach to treating white-footed ants.
Our method starts with targeting the source: the honeydew-producing insects like aphids, mealybugs, and scale that live on your shrubs and trees.
This honeydew attracts ants to your yard. By treating these plants and trees with systemic products (both sprays and root drenches), we eliminate the food source, making your property less appealing to ants.
In addition to targeting the plants, we treat the active ant trails with granular and liquid baits that lure the ants back to the colony.
Finally, we apply a non-repellent treatment to your home’s foundation to ensure complete control, allowing the ants to carry the treatment back to the colony.

Our service doesn’t stop at just treating the ground.
We also spray your trees, hedges, and plants to ensure that any potential ant colonies hiding in your landscape are eradicated.
Whether it’s shrubs, flowering plants, or trees near your home, we’ll ensure no part of your yard becomes a breeding ground for these pesky ants.

FAQs About White Footed Ant Control
What do white footed ants eat?
White footed ants are primarily attracted to honeydew, a sweet substance produced by insects such as aphids and scale that live on your plants and trees.
Do white footed ants bite?
No, white footed ants do not bite. However, they can quickly become a nuisance due to their large colonies and ability to spread.
