Fire Ant Control
One Treatment. Year-Round Protection. Mound-Free Lawn.
Our professional-grade year-long preventative treatment eliminates existing fire ant colonies and keeps new ones from establishing—all year long with just one application.
Essential for Families with Fire Ant Allergies
Fire ant stings can be life-threatening. For people with severe allergies, a single sting can cause anaphylaxis—a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment. If you or a family member has a fire ant allergy, year-round protection isn't optional—it's essential for safety.
Why Fire Ants Are Such a Problem in Houston
Fire ants thrive in Houston's warm, moist climate. A single yard can have dozens of mounds, each containing 100,000-500,000 ants. Fire ant stings are painful and can cause severe allergic reactions.
Why DIY Doesn't Work
Store-bought fire ant treatments only kill surface ants. The queen remains deep underground, allowing the colony to rebuild within days. Professional products and proper application are required to eliminate colonies and provide lasting protection.
One-Time Year-Round Fire Ant Treatment
One professional treatment. Full year of protection. No recurring appointments.
Year-Long Preventative Treatment
Our professional-grade year-long preventative product eliminates existing fire ant colonies and creates a protective barrier that prevents new colonies from establishing—for up to 12 months.

How Our Fire Ant Treatment Works
Two-Step Process for Complete Colony Elimination
Broadcast Bait Application
We apply professional-grade fire ant bait across your entire lawn. Worker ants carry the bait back to the colony and feed it to the queen. This disrupts reproduction and eliminates colonies over 7-14 days. Our year-long formula continues protecting for months.
Individual Mound Treatment
We treat each visible fire ant mound with a liquid drench that penetrates deep into the colony. This kills the queen and worker ants within 24-48 hours. Mounds collapse and disappear completely.
Why Year-Long Treatment Works: Our professional-grade product continues working for months, eliminating existing colonies AND preventing new ones from establishing. One treatment, full year of protection.
Results Timeline: Visible mounds disappear within 48 hours. Year-long protection begins immediately.
Year-Round Protection Guarantee
We guarantee our year-long treatment will keep your lawn mound-free. If fire ant mounds appear during the coverage period, we'll re-treat at no additional charge.
48-Hour Mound Elimination: Existing mounds will be eliminated within 48 hours of treatment. If treated mounds are still active after 48 hours, we'll re-treat immediately at no charge.

Fire Ant Facts Every Houston Homeowner Should Know
Fire ants are not native to Texas
Accidentally imported from South America in the 1930s. With no natural predators, they thrive unchecked.
Colonies can have multiple queens
Some have multiple queens and contain over 500,000 ants. These "super colonies" need professional treatment.
Mounds are just the tip
What you see above ground is only 10-20% of the colony. The rest extends 2-3 feet underground.
Fire ants don't hibernate
Unlike most insects, fire ants are active year-round in Houston's mild climate.
Stings can be life-threatening
About 1% of people have severe allergies to fire ant venom and can experience anaphylaxis requiring immediate medical attention.
