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.

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.

Why Do Some Lawn Maintenance Estimates Cost More Than Others in Fort Myers?
Why Do Some Lawn Maintenance Estimates Cost More Than Others in Fort Myers?
One of the most common questions homeowners ask is:
"Why did my neighbor receive a different lawn maintenance quote than I did?"
At first glance, two properties may appear similar.
Both may have grass, landscaping, and a comparable yard size.
However, lawn maintenance pricing is based on much more than square footage alone.
Every property has unique conditions that affect the amount of time, labor, equipment, and attention required to maintain it properly.
Understanding these factors can help homeowners make more informed decisions when comparing service estimates.
What Affects Lawn Maintenance Pricing?
Several factors influence the cost of maintaining a lawn.
Common considerations include:
Property Size
Grass Growth Rate
Landscape Complexity
Service Frequency
Current Lawn Condition
Number Of Landscape Beds
Obstacles And Accessibility
Seasonal Maintenance Needs
Each property presents different maintenance requirements.
Why Property Size Matters
Larger properties generally require more time to maintain.
Additional lawn area often means:
More Mowing Time
More Trimming Work
More Edging Requirements
Larger Cleanup Areas
Additional Equipment Usage
The total amount of work increases as the service area expands.
How Landscape Features Affect Cost
Not all yards are wide open spaces.
Many properties contain features that require detailed attention.
Examples include:
Flower Beds
Decorative Borders
Trees
Shrubs
Walkways
Fencing
Outdoor Living Areas
These features often increase the time required to complete service properly.
Does Lawn Condition Change The Price?
Absolutely.
A regularly maintained lawn is usually easier to service than one that has been neglected.
Properties with excessive growth may require:
Additional Mowing Passes
Heavy Trimming
Border Restoration
Debris Removal
Corrective Maintenance
The more work required to restore appearance, the more labor may be involved.
Why Service Frequency Matters
Some homeowners schedule service weekly.
Others choose biweekly or seasonal maintenance.
The frequency of service often affects the amount of work needed during each visit.
Regular visits help prevent:
Excessive Growth
Overgrown Borders
Weed Expansion
Landscape Deterioration
Appearance Issues
Consistent maintenance can often make lawn care more manageable.
Common Questions Homeowners Ask
Is The Cheapest Lawn Service Always The Best Option?
Not necessarily.
Homeowners should compare more than price alone.
Other important considerations include:
Service Consistency
Attention To Detail
Reliability
Communication
Long-Term Results
The lowest price may not always provide the best value.
Why Do Some Yards Require More Maintenance?
Every property grows differently.
Factors such as:
Sun Exposure
Irrigation
Soil Conditions
Landscaping Design
Seasonal Weather
Can influence growth and maintenance requirements.
Can Regular Service Save Money?
In many cases, yes.
Routine maintenance helps reduce the likelihood of:
Major Overgrowth
Corrective Cleanup Projects
Landscape Damage
Border Restoration Costs
Appearance-Related Issues
Maintaining a lawn consistently is often easier than restoring it later.
Common Mistakes Homeowners Make
Many lawn issues begin with delayed maintenance.
Common mistakes include:
Waiting Too Long Between Services
Ignoring Landscape Beds
Delaying Weed Removal
Skipping Seasonal Maintenance
Choosing Service Based Only On Price
These decisions can lead to larger maintenance needs over time.
Why Professional Lawn Maintenance Matters
A lawn is one of the first things people notice about a property.
Consistent care helps maintain:
Healthy Appearance
Strong Curb Appeal
Defined Outdoor Spaces
Cleaner Property Lines
Long-Term Landscape Value
Professional maintenance helps homeowners protect the appearance of their investment.
