Fire Ant Treatment Process
-
Preparation for Fire Ant Treatment
Clean all potential ant food sources like fallen fruits, vegetables, or spilled birdseed. Removing food sources drives ants back to their colony. Our fire ants pest control professionals can control them more efficiently when they are concentrated.
-
“Texas Two-Step”
Developed at Texas A&M University, the first step involves broadcasting a fire ant bait across the area during spring and fall. The second step is implemented 7 to 10 days later, treating any surviving or newly formed mounds with direct contact dust.
-
Follow-Up Fire Ant Control Measures
The key to successful fire ants pest control lies in diligent follow-up treatments. Due to their rapid life cycle, fire ants can quickly repopulate and rebuild their colony if not thoroughly addressed.

Customer Reviews
View All Reviews-
I got Mosquito Joe last year a couple months into the season, in June I believe, and while it got better we were still having issues with mosquito’s. Mosquito Joe came out on several occasions to do additional treatments and from a quality service standpoint they were amazing but we were still having issues with mosquito’s. I was hesitant to get them again this year but I am very glad I did. Their first treatment was in late April early May I believe and we have not needed any additional treatments this year. I recommended them to my parents, who haven’t been able to sit outside in the summer in years and they got Mosquito Joe mid way through the summer and have had amazing results. I would definitely recommend Mosquito Joe to anyone.

Our technician Heather who did the treatment to our yard a couple of days ago did an exceedingly thorough application for ticks, much as she did last season! Very pleased for the many years of service we have received to prevent several of our family members from experiencing tick bites that they are allergic to.

Residents of Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, California, and Florida, take note! Your area is prime fire ant territory! A single-queen colony can host up to 40 mounds per acre. Hopefully, you’ll recognize the signs of fire ants before you get stung! If you do, call your local Mosquito Joe of South Central PA for pest control for fire ants.
-
Just like a wildfire, unchecked fire ants can wreak havoc on your property and peace of mind. A single, painful bite creates a searing sensation and results in blistering welts. But they’re more than a painful nuisance. Fire ant bites can result in deadly anaphylactic shock for those with allergies and can cause severe harm to children and animals. Effective fire ant treatment is critical to protecting your family and pets.
-
Mounds sprouting after a rain shower are red flags that fire ants are present. When your yard sprouts those tell-tale conical mounds after a rain, call on your local Mosquito Joe of South Central PA team. Our fire ant control zeroes in on the queen, which is the key to dismantling the entire colony. But some colonies have multiple queens, and every single one must be extinguished, or the colony will just relocate and revive. Dealing with fire ants safely and effectively is a job for professional fire ants pest control.
-
Mosquito Joe of South Central PA’s fire ant removal service employs effective, scientifically-proven methods to treat a fire ant infestation. Our fire ants pest control professionals use advanced techniques that target the queen(s) and eradicate the colonies. Our pest control service experts protect your household and environment from harm. When you need pest control for fire ants, remember that professional pest control methods provide the most effective, long-term solution for fire ant infestations.
-
Mosquito Joe of South Central PA service professionals seek out any surviving queens or juvenile queens that escaped the first treatment. The follow-up treatments use substances derived from soil fungus that impair the ants’ nerve functions. Other compounds prevent the fire ants from converting food into energy. This comprehensive follow-up ensures our pest control for fire ants is a complete success.
-
If you’re desperate for your fire ant problem to go away, you might be considering DIY fire ant pest control, but we urge you to reconsider. Treatments like dousing mounds in boiling water, dish detergent, or homemade insecticides might seem appealing, but they often just make the problem worse. These homemade fire ant solutions do little to solve the problem. Instead, they break up colonies and spread them farther around your property and neighboring areas.
