The weather is warming and the spring rains have already started. Your lawn loves the rain… and so do fire ants! Lets talk about how to control fire ants. Ants are a hard pest to handle and there are a lot of products out there that are just band aids for the actual problem. Most products you buy at a big box store or garden center are contact insecticides. They need to physically come in contact with the pest to be effective. When you treat a mound you may kill a lot of ants but you will most likely not kill the queen or enough of the mound to eradicate the ants. They simply relocate. Here’s where you need the professional chemical. This chemical is an insect growth regulator. It does not kill the ants immediately like the contact insecticides but it does kill ALL of the ants in your entire lawn. This is the product we used on the golf course to manage ants and it has a proven track record of success. The treatment we use in not available to individual homeowners and requires a chemical applicators license to apply. Reach out to us today to schedule an appointment or get a quote.
