Fire Ant Control in Fort Myers, FL
Eliminate painful fire ant mounds from your yard with targeted mound treatments and long-lasting barrier applications across Fort Myers and Lee County.
Fire Ants Own Your Yard Until You Stop Them
Red imported fire ants are not native to Florida. They were accidentally introduced from South America and have thrived in the warm, sandy soils of Lee County ever since. A single colony can contain 200,000 to 500,000 workers, and a typical Fort Myers yard can harbor dozens of mounds, many hidden under grass or mulch until someone steps on one.
Fire ant stings are not just painful. They produce burning pustules that last for days, and for children, elderly residents, and anyone with allergies, a single encounter can mean a trip to urgent care. Pets are vulnerable too. Beyond the health risk, fire ants destroy your lawn from below, killing grass roots and creating unsightly dirt mounds. Store-bought mound treatments only scatter the colony. The queen survives, moves 10 feet away, and rebuilds.
SW Florida Pest Authority uses a two-phase approach. First, Jason directly treats every visible mound with a fast-acting granular bait that workers carry to the queen. Second, he applies a broadcast barrier treatment across your entire yard that prevents new colonies from establishing. The combination eliminates existing colonies and stops re-infestation for months.

How Fire Ant Control Works
From the first call to a pest-free home, here is exactly what to expect.
Yard Survey and Mound Mapping
Jason walks your entire property and marks every active mound. He checks along fence lines, garden beds, pavers, tree bases, and AC units where fire ants love to nest in Southwest Florida.
Direct Mound Treatment
Each mapped mound gets a liquid drench that penetrates deep into the colony, reaching the queen chamber. This kills the colony at its core, not just the surface workers.
Broadcast Bait Application
A granular bait is spread across the entire yard. Worker ants carry it back to unmapped satellite colonies and feed it to the queen, collapsing colonies you cannot even see.
Growth Regulator Treatment
An insect growth regulator prevents surviving queens from producing new workers. This breaks the reproduction cycle and stops re-infestation at the source.
Follow-Up Guarantee
Jason returns within 14 days to inspect for any surviving activity. If a single mound persists, he re-treats it at no charge. Most yards stay clear for 60 to 90 days.
