Fire Ant Control in Metro Atlanta
Fire ants are a fact of life on open, sunny Georgia lawns, especially across Henry, Clayton and Newton counties. Kicking or poisoning one mound only sends the colony a few feet away. Our fire ant control eliminates existing mounds and prevents new ones year-round, and it is included in Healthy Lawn Elite, our 12-visit program.
Included in Healthy Lawn Elite (12 visits a year). It comes with the program and is not sold separately.
Why fire ants keep coming back
A fire ant mound is only the visible part of a colony that can run deep into the soil, and new queens fly in from neighboring yards every spring and summer. Treating mounds one at a time rarely lasts. Fire ant control works best when it covers the lawn and continues through the season.
How we handle fire ants
Our fire ant control eliminates existing mounds and prevents new ones year-round. On your Healthy Lawn Elite visits we apply fire ant control as needed, following the product label, and if mounds show up between visits you can call us.
When fire ants are worst
In metro Atlanta, fire ants are most active from spring through fall, and mounds pop up fast after a good rain. Our calendar applies fire ant control as needed from April into September, when colonies are building.
Kids, pets and fire ants
Fire ant stings hurt, and they are a real worry for families with kids and dogs. We apply products labeled for home lawns, by the label, and ask that kids and pets stay off treated grass until it dries. Tell us about pets when you call.
