to have a beautiful lawn, stop fire ants from invading!

For sure, mosquitoes aren’t the only pests that top the list for most of us in Texas. Red and black imported fire ants are an invasive species and their painful stings have the potential to:

• Injure or kill livestock
• Wildlife
• Dog & cats
• And humans

Their mounds can damage mowers and infest buildings, as well as cause damage to electrical wiring by chewing on wire insulation.

controlling fire ants

Most people try to control fire ants by treating their individual mounds which can add up quickly, in cost and time, and is a more reactive than proactive method of controlling them. Plus, this type of treatment is unlikely to eliminate the entire colony and will more likely cause them to relocate.

To be effective, the mound treatment must eliminate the queen(s). Otherwise, the colony will survive, as they live deep within the ground which makes it easy for them to escape mound treatments.
