About this service
Fire ant control focuses on eliminating aggressive colonies that create mounds in your yard. These ants are known for painful, stinging bites that can be dangerous for pets and children. You should look into professional treatment when you notice active mounds or persistent ant trails near your home's foundation. Because these colonies are deep underground, surface sprays are rarely enough. We provide targeted solutions to remove the queen and stop the colony from spreading.

When autumn temperatures drop, pests begin looking for a place to wait out the coming winter. Spiders, rodents, and other insects frequently attempt to enter homes through small cracks and gaps. Sealing entry points and having a professional inspection now can save you a lot of trouble when the freezing weather finally sets in.
