Fire ant control that clears the whole yard
Knocking down a mound you can see only pushes the colony to move. Our yard-wide program eliminates active colonies and creates a barrier that stops new ones.
Mound & yard inspection
We locate active mounds and problem zones, then plan treatment around where your family and pets spend time.
Mound + broadcast treatment
We treat individual mounds and broadcast bait across the yard so foragers carry it back to the queen.
Perimeter protection
We treat the perimeter and entry points to keep fire ants from moving indoors or rebuilding near the house.
Season-long control
Recurring service keeps mounds from returning through Florida's long warm season.

Why fire ants are a Florida problem
Central Florida's climate is ideal for aggressive red imported fire ants, and mounds can reappear fast after rain. Tell us where you're seeing them, or explore our residential pest control plans for year-round protection.
Central Florida pest control calendar
Our climate keeps pests active all year — but the pressure shifts by season. Here's what we watch for and treat month to month across the Orlando metro.
Spring
- Ants
- Termite swarmers
- Wasps
- Mosquitoes
Warm, wet weather triggers ant trails and termite swarms — the ideal time to start prevention.
Summer
- Mosquitoes
- Palmetto bugs
- Fire ants
- Fleas
Peak Florida pest season. Humidity and rain drive roaches and mosquitoes indoors and out.
Fall
- Rodents
- Spiders
- Cockroaches
- Earwigs
As nights cool, rodents and roaches look for a warm way inside. Seal-up and perimeter work matter most.
Winter
- Rodents
- German roaches
- Silverfish
- Spiders
Pests don't disappear here — they move indoors. Recurring service keeps them from settling in.
Don't just kick the mound
Disturbing a fire ant mound with store-bought products often just relocates the colony a few feet away — sometimes several times. Our broadcast baiting reaches the queen across the whole yard, so the colony is eliminated instead of moved.

Fire ant control FAQ
We combine direct mound treatment with a broadcast bait across the yard so worker ants carry it back to the queen. Eliminating the queen is what actually kills the colony — not just the ants on the surface.
You'll typically see mounds die off within days to a couple of weeks as the bait works through the colony. Recurring service keeps new colonies from re-establishing.
Yes. We plan treatment around where your family spends time and use products responsibly, with guidance on re-entry so your yard is safe to enjoy.
New colonies fly in and establish after rain, and disturbing mounds can cause them to relocate. Ongoing yard treatment is the most reliable way to stay ahead of them.
