The Importance of Professional Fire Ant Control

Unlike common insects that just damage grass, fire ants actively defend their territory with aggressive swarming behavior and painful stings. Mature properties often harbor multiple colonies, creating an underground network that's difficult to eliminate without professional intervention.

The real danger of fire ants lies in their coordinated attack behavior. When a mound is disturbed, hundreds of ants emerge, climbing onto shoes, legs, and pets before delivering synchronized stings. For individuals with allergies, these stings can trigger severe reactions requiring immediate medical attention. Even without allergies, multiple stings are painful and can lead to secondary infections if scratched.

DIY fire ant treatments often target visible mounds while missing satellite colonies and underground tunnels. Over-the-counter products typically only kill surface workers, leaving queens alive to rebuild the colony within weeks. This leads to a frustrating cycle of temporary success followed by reinfestation, often costing more in repeated treatments than professional service would. Professional treatment addresses the entire colony system, using specialized products that penetrate deep into the soil to eliminate queens and prevent new colony formation.

Our Professional Treatment Approach

Matthews Turf Management uses a proven approach to fire ant control. We begin with a thorough property assessment to identify active colonies and potential problem areas. Our treatment plan includes multiple layers of protection to ensure your yard remains fire ant-free.

Our commercial-grade products provide superior protection compared to retail options. We apply treatments to:

  • Existing mounds and colony structures.

  • Lawn areas where fire ants commonly establish new colonies.

  • Property perimeters to create protective barriers.

  • Problem areas like sunny, well-drained locations.

  • Areas around irrigation systems and electrical boxes.

  • Locations where vegetation meets your yard.

  • Areas around decks and outdoor living spa

By coordinating fire ant treatments with our regular lawn care programs, we create a defense system for your property. Whether you need to revitalize a damaged lawn or protect a healthy yard, our approach addresses pest control and lawn health. We time our applications throughout the year, targeting fire ants when they're most active and vulnerable. Our technicians track local pest patterns and environmental conditions, fine-tuning treatment timing to deliver the best possible results for your specific property.
