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.

2. Get An Estimate

If you have an inspection, we will send you a custom treatment plan and estimate afterward. Once we get your approval, we will schedule your treatment.

3. Treatment

We will come to your property and treat for pests in common hiding and nesting areas. Over time, you will start seeing less and less pest activity.

4. Prevention

Customers with our ongoing pest management services will receive periodic retreatments to prevent the return of the most common pests in our area.

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.

“Earlier this year, we hired ABC Home... to replace our backyard lawn. The installation of the turf was great; as we expect from past experiences with ABC. I'm giving a rating of 4 (of I could give 4.5, I would) for two reasons. First, we were provided a 90 day warranty. I know we could have called if we had issues. However, I feel the sales representative or job foreman should have contacted us before the warranty expired just to see how the new lawn is faring. Frankly, we have only one issue. Which is the second(and primary) reason for the 4 rating. The sales representative knew we have 2 dogs when he was helping us decide what type of grass we should install. Unfortunately, he did not warn us that the grass we chose is highly sensitive to dog urine. Had we known, we may have chosen a different type of grass.”

“Kolbin was great at aerating my lawn, just scheduled the composting next. Very pleased with ABC home, they are my first call for all of my projects. I have used their plumbing and tree trimming service. They are fast, professional, easy to schedule and the price is very reasonable and a great value.”
