How to Get Rid of Fire Ant Mounds
Fire ant mounds mean fire ants. If you’ve ever experienced a fire ant attack, you understand the pain and the need to get rid of fire ants and their mounds as quickly as possible, but you may not know how to accomplish this goal. Fire Ant Control, LLC, offers effective, convenient, and affordable treatment for properties of all types.
Fire ants build and reproduce aggressively, meaning that fire ant mounds can spring up overnight, especially following periods of heavy rain. Their presence can be disruptive and damaging to the activities of workers, gardeners, delivery providers, pets, and children. To eliminate fire ants, contact Fire Ant Control, LLC, for a comprehensive plan of action that addresses the problem for the long term.
About Fire Ant Mounds
Fire ant mounds are shaped like a dome with a flat top. They consist of loose soil and can be as high as 1 ½’ and as wide as a dinner plate. A single fire ant colony can have multiple mounds and multiple queens, so that it can grow quite large, with thousands of citizens living below ground. Targeted treatment is essential; without it, the problem will continue and grow.
Fire ants reproduce quickly and frequently. The queen can lay thousands of eggs each day, so without intervention, the colony will continue to grow exponentially. With mound treatment alone, the colony will also continue to grow, with the killed ants replaced within days. Instead of foolhardy and expensive approaches, attack the population at reproduction, stopping the colony in its tracks.
Getting rid of fire ant mounds requires eliminating their builders. Fire Ant Control, LLC, is the premier provider of this treatment.
Fire Ant Treatment
The methods that we use are effective for long-term treatment. They may operate more slowly and provide less immediate relief from other efforts, but they work incredibly well. The worker ants find the bait and carry it to the queen. The bait sterilizes her, and without new fire ants hatching and growing, the colony ceases to exist. This process may take an entire life span to reach maximum effectiveness, but when it does, it promises a minimum of 85% protection for four-month periods. That level of security is not available for this area from any other treatment option.
Fire Ant Prevention
Maintain maximum protection from fire ants by scheduling retreatment three times per year. Fire ants are mobile and will reinfest the property without continued intervention; therefore, we limit our money-back guarantee to clients who have scheduled treatment every four months as prescribed. The bait doesn’t last forever, so reapplication is necessary.
Prevent new mounds from forming by maintaining the property and adhering to your treatment schedule. Keep the grass mowed, pick up debris, and avoid overwatering to prevent standing water. Diligence in grounds care can help mitigate the presence of fire ants.
