Fire Ant Control

YEAR LONG FIRE ANT CONTROL

Fire ants have become the number one insect problem in the south. As a pest professional, we now have a product available to us that will control fire ants for up to one full year with only one application.

HOW IT WORKS

Once the area is treated with a broadcast application, several things happen:

1. Fire ants work the treated soil, via mound construction and foraging tunnels, coming into contact with the pesticide.
2. Fire ants become exposed either through contact or ingestion and spread the pesticide throughout the colony to other ants and the queen. This is called the domino effect.
3. Succumbing to the lethal effects of the pesticide, the mound slowly and steadily crashes, eliminating the queen.
4. The residual effect controls existing mounds and prevents new mounds from forming.

WHERE CAN IT BE APPLIED?

• Residential lawn
• Commercial lawns
• School grounds
• Parks
• Sports fields
• Landscape beds
• Campsites

WHAT DOES IT COST?

There are many variables involved in the cost of this application, such as the amount of turfgrass, the size and amount of flower beds, etc.
