I was impressed with how friendly and professional your office staff is every time I call in and it's not to often that the company's staff are as patient and friendly anymore.
Stay clear of it! Fire ant bites hurt and may cause an allergic reaction. When a mound is disturbed, ants swarm to the surface and sting anything in their path. Because they swarm and sting so fast, pets and children must be kept away from the mound.
Fire ants build huge underground networks and are often harder to treat than ordinary ants. This means that even if a mound is destroyed, there is probably still a colony of fire ants living underground. ABC has treatment options designed specifically to treat for fire ants so you can enjoy your yard, worry-free.
ABC understands how stressful it can be to have fire ants around your home. We will send a specialist to you usually within the same week and often same day. The Inspector will visit with you about treatment options, price the project, and get you scheduled at your convenience. The Inspectors visit is at no charge.
A specialist will come to your home and inspect the property for fire ants or other ant mounds. If we find fire ants, we will recommend the best treatment for your property and the environment. In most cases, we put bait in and around the mound.
San Antonio has been in a drought for seven years. During periods of drought, fire ants tend to burrow further down, closer to the water table. You may see ants without mounds, but this does not mean there are not large ant colonies on your property—it may mean that the colonies are deep beneath the surface. In such a case, the specialist will place bait around the entire area. Worker ants then come to the surface and carry the bait back to the colony underground, resulting in their elimination.
