Control Fire Ants on Athletic Fields in Florida
If you manage school, park, or league facilities, you already know how quickly fire ants can turn a fun game day into a painful safety hazard. It is imperative that you control fire ants on athletic fields in Florida to ensure the players’ safety, maintain the field quality, and guarantee uninterrupted schedules. Unfortunately, fire ants favor sunny, open turf and love to build near bleachers, goal posts, dugouts, and utility housings, where they can damage equipment, create uneven, injury-prone surfaces, and pose a serious danger to visitors and players alike.
Why Athletic Fields Need Pro Treatment
On fields, a few visible mounds rarely tell the whole story. The pounds are just the so-called ‘icing on the cake’ The ant colonies often extend far underground and into nearby structures and boxes. That’s why Fire Ant Control, LLC uses a proven granular bait strategy that targets the queen. Workers carry the bait into the colony; the queen becomes unable to reproduce; the colony dies out instead of rebounding. When reapplied on a regular cycle, properties remain 85–95% free of fire ants, which is a serious win for the athletes who use the fields.
Broadcast Application Built for Large Areas
Athletic complexes and multi-field parks demand coverage and consistency. Fire Ant Control distributes professional bait via custom ATV broadcast systems (we also use hand spreaders where needed) to blanket-treat the property quickly and evenly. The broadcast method is ideal for expansive turf, sidelines, and spectator areas.
Safe Around People, Pets, and Play
The professional bait is regulated and approved for use around people and animals and is designed for sports fields and school grounds. Unlike contact sprays, which only kill ants they touch, the bait approach resolves the root problem deep underground within the midst of the ant colonies without disrupting field use.
A Simple Maintenance Plan
Fire ants act like weeds, the minute you stop treating them, they come back. Most facilities schedule service every four months to keep fields playable and safe all season long. That precise schedule aligns with the fire ant life cycle and sustains that 85–95% reduction promise.
