Our Treatment

Fire ants can be a major nuisance, creating unsightly mounds and delivering painful stings that can be dangerous—especially for those with allergies. These aggressive pests not only pose health risks but also threaten your lawn’s health by disturbing the soil and damaging plant roots. A reliable fire ant bait treatment is essential for long-term protection.

At Champion Green, our fire ant control strategy focuses on year-round defense, not just one-time applications. Fire ants are persistent, so we use a proactive plan that adapts to seasonal changes and weather patterns. This helps prevent new colonies from forming and existing ones from resurging after rainfall or lawn disruption.

How Our Treatment Works

Our fire ant bait treatment uses a targeted approach to eliminate entire colonies. Instead of just killing visible ants, our bait system allows worker ants to carry the insecticide back to the queen, ensuring the entire colony is eradicated. This method is far more effective than surface sprays, which only target foraging ants and provide temporary relief.

By applying insecticide bait in a controlled 3–4 foot circle around each mound, we ensure that worker ants transport the toxic bait back to the nest. Over time, this approach eliminates the entire colony at its source. For best results, treatments may need to be repeated every 12–16 weeks, depending on the severity of the infestation. We recommend avoiding irrigation for at least 4 hours after treatment to ensure maximum effectiveness.

When possible, mow the lawn 1–2 days beforehand to reduce foliage coverage. This gives ants easier access to bait granules and allows the treatment to reach deeper into the soil where colonies are active. For more in-depth guidance on proper fire ant management strategies, the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension fire ant control guide offers research-based best practices that align closely with Champion Green’s professional methods.

The Risks of Fire Ant Infestations

Beyond their painful stings, fire ants can cause extensive damage to your lawn by displacing soil, weakening grass, and attracting other pests. Their presence can disrupt outdoor activities, making yards unsafe for children and pets. According to the CDC’s guidance on fire ant prevention, understanding colony behavior is key to minimizing exposure and stings.
