Fire ants are coming
It will come as no surprise with all this rain we will start seeing lots of fire ant mounds popping up. It’s just part of living in north Texas. As the rain floods out the underground mounds you will start seeing the Mounds come up to the surface. Spot treating the Mounds is really your only course of action. While I’ve heard of and tried many home remedies with mixed results. By far the best solution I have come across is simply Ortho fire ant killer. You can get it pretty much anywhere that sells this type of product. I will include a link to Amazon so you can see exactly what you’re looking for. I prefer a proactive approach seven brand granules put out on a regular schedule as recommended by them does a fabulous job of not only preventing fire ants in the yard but also chiggers and fleas and chinch bugs armyworms all The Nasty creepy crawly things that we deal with in our area. I’ll also include Amazon link to that.
I always recommend to my customers to use the seven granules every 3 months to prevent any infestations in the yard. It’s not 100% guarantee by any stretch of the imagination but it will greatly reduce the occurrence. Spot Trading issues as they arise or much easier and require much less effort if preemptive measures are taken.
