Fire ants can turn a good lawn into a headache fast. If you’ve ever stepped near one of their mounds, you know how quickly they react. One moment the yard looks normal, and the next you’ve got a pile of soil that wasn’t there yesterday.

Understanding the Problem

A fire ant mound on the surface doesn’t tell the whole story. What you see above ground is only a small part of the colony. Most of the ants and usually several queens stay deeper in the soil. That’s why simply knocking down the mound or treating the top doesn’t do much. Sometimes the colony even moves a few feet away and sets up again. We see that a lot after storms or heavy irrigation.

Some yards will have one obvious mound. Other times there are several smaller ones hidden near shrubs, fences, or shaded corners that don’t get noticed right away. When we walk on a property, we’re looking for all of those signs, not just the main mound.

How We Treat Fire Ants?

Our service starts with a slow, steady walk across the lawn. We check problem spots near driveways, under trees, by irrigation heads, anywhere with loose soil. Once we know where the activity is, we use treatments designed to reach deeper than the mound opening. The idea is to work down into the colony so the ants don’t simply relocate.

Depending on the yard, the season, and how long the ants have been there, treatment might involve a single focused application or a more spread-out approach. For homeowners who see fire ants every year, we usually recommend routine protection so the colonies don’t reestablish themselves.

Why People Call Gro Green

Most folks who reach out to us have already tried the quick fixes from the store. Those products sometimes knock back the surface ants, but the colony usually rebuilds. What makes our service different is the time we spend actually understanding what’s going on beneath the soil.

Homeowners like working with us because we:

  • Know how fire ants move after rain or soil disruption.
  • Treat mounds in a way that targets the deeper layers.
  • Pay attention to lawn conditions that help fire ants spread.
  • Offer plans for yards that deal with recurring mounds.

When You Should Take Action

A few signs usually mean it’s time to get help:

Once you notice several mounds, the colony is usually well established.

What Happens During a Visit?

Your technician will look over the entire yard, not just the spots you point out. Fire ants don’t respect boundaries, so it’s common to find activity in unexpected places. After marking the mounds, we apply treatments that work their way into the colony. If the yard gets heavy rainfall or is known for repeat issues, we’ll go over options for longer-term prevention.
