Ant Control in Cape Coral, FL

Ant Control built for Cape Coral homes

Cape Coral occupies a peninsula with the Caloosahatchee River to the east and Matlacha Pass to the west, and its more than 400 miles of canals were excavated to carry stormwater away from homes, with the dug material piled up to raise lots on fill of fine sand mixed with shell and limestone fragments. Ants move readily through that shell-laden fill, finding routes along foundation edges, into garages and around plumbing penetrations. Colony foraging intensifies each summer as the roughly two-thirds of the area's 57 annual inches of rain that falls between June and September saturates the ground and pushes trails indoors. Fire ants are handled under a separate specialty service. Because Southwest Florida has no real winter to interrupt ant pressure, an ongoing program is the practical way to stay ahead of activity that never fully pauses.
