ANT CONTROL SERVICES
FOR THE LAREDO, TX REGION
The red imported fire ant is a notorious pest. Originating in South America, they have been accidentally carried into the U.S. They cause billions of dollars in property damage every year and can negatively affect local wildlife. Fire ants do very well in urban areas and build nests in pavements and foundations, which can compromise the structure of your property. They can also damage crops.
The good news is that fire ants are fairly easy to control, provided it’s done by a skilled and experienced professional.

PREVENTION TIPS
Fire ants need three things to survive: food, water, and a supportive environment. The following are some things you can do to prevent an infestation:
- Trim back trees and bushes so they are not touching any part of your home.
- Turn over mulch and other bedding materials every so often to prevent moisture retention.
- Keep the height of your grass fairly low.
- Remove clippings, leaf piles, and wood piles.
- Pick up any fruit that has fallen from trees.
- Store garbage and recycling containers as far away from your home as possible. Make sure they are cleaned frequently.
