How We Treat Fire Ants in Captiva
Two-step treatment: broadcast bait across the yard to reduce overall colony density, followed by direct mound treatment with contact insecticide. We re-inspect 30 days later and retreat any surviving mounds at no charge. In Captiva, we also account for salt air and coastal humidity, which affect how quickly barrier products break down outdoors.
