Fire Ants: The Bright Red Menace in The Colony, TX
A single fire ant doesn’t look like much, but these aggressive pests can be devastating in large numbers. They typically go about their activities away from your sight until they feel disturbed.
Once the colony senses a disturbance, the ants will transmit a silent alert amongst themselves to start stinging the intruder(s). The stings cause burning, itching, and swelling. Therefore, fire ant attacks can lead to emergency hospital visits.
Unlike bees, each ant can sting multiple times. With 100,000 to 500,000 ants per colony, it’s easy to see why these insects are hazardous.
It’s always in your best interest to treat a suspected fire ant mound as a serious issue. Stay clear of the area and call our expert team to come in for inspection and treatment.
Our Highly Efficient Fire Ant Control Program
At Stonebridge Lawn & Garden, we deploy fire ant control measures in plant beds, lawn areas, and wherever we find their presence in the fall and spring.
Our control methods work because we target the visible worker ants and the rest of the colony safely hidden away. The treatment options include the following:
Granular Fire Ant Baits
Granular baits often yield the best results regarding fire ant control. They also have the most negligible impact on the ecosystem. The ants collect the granular baits like other food sources and unwittingly spread them across their colonies. This approach looks and sounds too slow, but that is intentional. Faster methods of fire ant control often fail to kill the queen. As long as the queen is alive, the colony will survive—even if you reduce the population by up to 80%. Granular baits have a higher chance of reaching the queen. With the queen out of the way, the rest of the colony will naturally fall apart.
Fire Ant Mound Treatments
This method directly targets the mounds around your yard with liquid drenches or dry powders. Liquid drenches are typically more effective, but both can stop ants at their source.
Broadcast Insecticides
This aggressive treatment involves enveloping the soil in the lawn area with some insecticides strong enough to kill ants that come into contact with your turf. The downside to this treatment is that it can kill other harmless and beneficial insects on your lawn.
Our Fire Ant Control Process
At Stonebridge Lawn & Garden, we take an all-encompassing approach to removing fire ants from your lawn.
First, we’ll inspect the active mounds in the area thoroughly to gauge the ant activity levels and estimate the strength of the ant population. Our inspection findings will guide our decision-making for the rest of the process.
We often favor mound treatments and granular baits, using broadcast insecticides only for heavy infestation. You can trust our team to develop a custom plan that works, keeping your preferences in mind.
Our experts are adaptable and able to switch tactics according to your specifications. For instance, some clients often request broadcast insecticides to kill off visible ants. Others are happier to only go with the baiting approach, leaving the mounds alone.
Whatever options you choose, you can be sure we’ll use professional-grade products to deliver effective and lasting results.
The health of your lawn is crucial to the overall appearance of your home. With our lawn care services, we provide ongoing maintenance that includes mowing, fertilization, and irrigation, making your lawn the envy of the neighborhood.
