Fire Ant Control in San Antonio, TX
With painful stings and the potential to swarm, fire ants are a danger to both people and pets. Fire ants also damage lawns and gardens. If you have these ants on your property, you're probably looking for a way to get rid of them. When it comes to fire ant control, San Antonio homeowners know they can trust ABC Home & Commercial Services for a solution. Our pros can customize a plan for you and help you avoid any future unwelcome encounters.
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.
The ABC Process
1. Contact ABC
When you contact us, we will schedule an inspection to get an understanding of the problem. In some cases, we can give you a quote over the phone.
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.

“Our front lawn was beyond help so we hired ABC to replace the grass and install limestone chop block borders. Vince Ng handled the estimate and oversight while the work was done by the site supervisor, Benjamin, along with Fidel and Juan. They were timely, professional, AND thorough!! We are so thrilled with the results and bonus was the price was very reasonable. When they planted the shade tolerant St. Augustine last month, it was pretty dormant but is greening up nicely. Highly recommend ABC…we also use them for irrigation and just started monthly lawn maintenance. Very happy customers!!”

“We have been using abc for years. This year we had their ARBOR Specialists remove 6 very tall and dead palms. This week they drained and cleaned our pool which was a mess due to our long absence. Tyler was professional & prompt to respond. Acid Wash still to be done…but this is miraculous…from black to ready for SUMMER!”
