Step 1: Thorough Property Inspection
Identifying Risks and Infestations
The initial step involves a detailed inspection of your property to identify fire ant mounds and assess risk areas. We examine typical hotspots such as yards, pavement cracks, and near structural foundations, crucial for crafting a targeted treatment plan.
Step 2: Tailored Control Strategy
Custom Plans for Comprehensive Protection
Based on the inspection findings, we develop a customized control strategy specifically for fire ants. Our treatment options may include granular baits, mound drenching, and non-repellent insecticides, tailored to effectively disrupt the ant's lifecycle and prevent re-infestation.
Step 3: Implementation with Precision
Effective Application for Immediate Relief
Our certified technicians apply treatments with precision to affected areas and potential entry points. Treatments are focused on mound treatment and creating a residual barrier around your property to prevent new ants from establishing colonies.
Step 4: Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention
Ensuring Long-Term Protection and Prevention
Fire ant control is an ongoing effort. Post-treatment, we monitor your property to ensure the effectiveness of our strategies and to adapt as needed. Regular follow-ups help maintain barriers and ensure your property remains fire ant-free. We also provide guidance on how to maintain your yard to discourage future infestations.
