Fire Ant Control

Protect your lawn and your family.

At Green Yard, we eliminate fire ant colonies quickly and effectively using proven treatments that provide long-lasting protection. Say goodbye to painful stings and unsafe yards your lawn is safe again.

Here’s how it works.

Property Inspection

A Green Yard lawn care specialist will walk your property to identify active fire ant mounds, underground colonies, and high-risk areas, ensuring no infestation is overlooked.

Customized Treatment Plan

Based on the severity and spread of the infestation, we create a targeted treatment plan using professional-grade products tailored to your lawn and soil conditions.

Targeted Mound Treatment

Visible fire ant mounds are treated directly to eliminate worker ants and quickly neutralize surface activity, ensuring immediate reduction in danger zones.

Broadcast Application

We apply a preventative barrier treatment across your lawn to stop ants from migrating or forming new colonies—offering season-long protection.

Ongoing Monitoring & Support

We provide recommendations for post-treatment care and offer optional follow-up visits to monitor activity and ensure your lawn stays protected all year long.

Plans that go well with this service.

Our fire ant control service can be performed as a stand-alone treatment, or as an add-on to an existing pest control plan.

Questions?

Glad you asked.

What are fire ants and why are they dangerous?

Fire ants are aggressive, stinging insects that form large colonies in soil and lawns. Their bites can cause painful welts and serious allergic reactions, making them a major safety concern for families and pets.

2. How do I know if I have a fire ant infestation?

You may notice dome-shaped mounds with no visible entry hole on top. When disturbed, fire ants swarm aggressively. If you see these signs, it's best to schedule a professional inspection.

3. What does Green Yard's fire ant control service include?

Our fire ant control includes a property inspection, direct mound treatments, and a broadcast application to eliminate existing colonies and prevent future infestations.

4. Are your fire ant treatments safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use EPA-approved products that are applied with safety in mind. Once the treatment is dry (usually within an hour), your yard is safe for children and pets.

How long does fire ant treatment last?

Our treatments typically offer protection for up to six months, depending on weather and lawn conditions. We recommend seasonal reapplications for continued defense.

Will your service eliminate the entire fire ant colony?

Yes. Our targeted treatments are designed to reach deep into the mound and destroy the queen, ensuring the entire colony is eliminated—not just the visible ants.

Can I treat fire ants myself with DIY products?

While some DIY solutions may offer temporary relief, they often miss the queen and don’t eliminate the full colony. Professional treatments provide more effective, lasting results.

Do fire ants come back after treatment?

They can return if not managed regularly. That’s why we offer follow-up services and recommend a long-term fire ant prevention plan.

How soon after treatment can I use my yard again?

Your yard can typically be used again 1–2 hours after treatment, once the application is completely dry.

How do I schedule a fire ant control service with Green Yard?

You can call us directly or request a free estimate online. One of our local specialists will inspect your property and recommend the best fire ant treatment plan for your lawn.
