Fire Ant Treatment in Katy, TX
Stop painful fire ant mounds fast. Our deep-penetrating treatments eliminate colonies below the surface and protect your yard with long-lasting prevention — safe for families and pets.
Why Fire Ant Control Matters
Fire ants threaten kids, pets, and lawns in Katy. We treat the whole colony — not just the mound — for lasting relief.
Painful, Multiple Stings
Fire ants swarm and sting repeatedly, causing welts and potential allergic reactions. Fast treatment reduces risk in play areas.
Yard & Turf Damage
Mounds disrupt turf, irrigation, and root systems. Our approach targets queens and satellites to stop spread across your yard.
Rapid Colony Spread
Colonies expand after rain or lawn work. Professional applications break cycles and keep new colonies from taking hold.
Our Fire Ant Treatment Process
- Inspection: We map active mounds, trails, and likely satellite sites across the property.
- Targeted Application: Professionally applied mound treatments and baiting knock down workers and queens.
- Perimeter Barrier: A protective band around your structures and fence lines blocks new activity.
- Follow-Up & Guidance: Re-checks and practical lawn tips to prevent re-infestation.
Note: Heavy rain or lawn renovations can stir colonies. We time applications for best results and offer re-service if needed.
About Fire Ants in Texas
Red imported fire ants thrive in warm, humid climates and build multi-queen colonies. They relocate aggressively when disturbed and can form new mounds after storms. Our treatment plans address both active mounds and the hidden colony structure beneath your lawn.
Prevention Tips
- Keep lawns trimmed and remove thatch piles where ants nest.
- Seal gaps around slabs, AC pads, and utility lines.
- Avoid spreading infested soil or mulch between garden beds.
