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.

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.

Professional Outdoor Pest Control in Fort Myers – Protecting the Spaces Around Your Home
Professional Outdoor Pest Control in Fort Myers – Protecting the Spaces Around Your Home
Your home doesn't stop at the front door.
Patios, lawns, landscaping, entryways, and other outdoor areas are all part of the space your family uses every day. When unwanted pests become active around these areas, spending time outside can quickly become less enjoyable.
Professional outdoor pest control provides homeowners with a way to manage common pest concerns before they become a constant disruption.
Why Outdoor Pest Control Matters
Outdoor areas can provide pests with access to food, moisture, shelter, and places to hide.
Landscaping, shaded areas, vegetation, and the warm Florida climate can all contribute to pest activity around residential properties.
Rather than focusing only on what homeowners see inside, outdoor pest management considers the areas surrounding the home where pest activity can develop.
What Does Outdoor Pest Control Include?
The right service depends on the pest concerns affecting the property.
Professional pest control can involve targeted protection for outdoor areas and services designed for different nuisance pest concerns.
Love My Green Yard offers pest control solutions that include mosquito control, perimeter pest protection, and flea, tick, and outdoor nuisance pest control.
Each service addresses a different type of outdoor concern, allowing homeowners to select protection based on their property's needs.
Creating More Comfortable Outdoor Spaces
Outdoor areas should be spaces where homeowners can relax, entertain guests, or spend time with family.
Persistent pest activity can make those simple activities frustrating.
A professional pest management routine can help homeowners take a more proactive approach to common outdoor pest concerns instead of constantly reacting whenever pests become noticeable.
Why Professional Service Can Make a Difference
DIY pest control can sometimes provide temporary relief, but identifying the source and choosing the appropriate approach can be difficult.
Professional service provides homeowners with experience, scheduled attention, and pest management strategies designed around the property.
It also makes pest control part of a routine rather than another task homeowners have to remember whenever a problem appears.
A Property-Specific Approach
Every property is different.
The amount of landscaping, surrounding vegetation, outdoor activity, moisture, and existing pest pressure can influence what type of pest protection makes sense.
That is why professional pest control should focus on the conditions of the individual property rather than assuming every home needs exactly the same solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
What pests can outdoor pest control address?
The appropriate service depends on the pest. Outdoor pest services may address concerns such as mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and other nuisance pests.
Is outdoor pest control only necessary when pests are visible?
Not necessarily. Some homeowners use recurring pest protection to take a more proactive approach to outdoor pest management.
Can pest control make outdoor areas more comfortable?
Managing outdoor pest activity can help make patios, yards, and other exterior spaces more enjoyable to use.
Does every home need the same pest control service?
No. Pest activity and property conditions vary, so the appropriate service depends on the individual home and its specific concerns.
How often should outdoor pest control be performed?
The ideal frequency depends on the pest, property conditions, seasonal activity, and the type of protection selected.
Enjoy More of Your Outdoor Space
Pest problems don't always begin inside the house.
By paying attention to the areas surrounding the property, homeowners can take a more proactive approach to outdoor pest management.
For Fort Myers homeowners, professional pest control can help protect the spaces around the home so they remain more comfortable and enjoyable throughout the year.
