How We Treat Fire Ants in Cape Coral

Two-step treatment: broadcast bait across the yard to reduce overall colony density, followed by direct mound treatment with contact insecticide.

In Cape Coral, we also account for the area's high ambient moisture from the canal system, which requires extended perimeter protection intervals.
