Do You Have Ants?

Ants come in a wide variety of species. Some, like sugar ants, are small and harmless, though very annoying if they invade your kitchen and eat your food. Others, like fire ants, exhibit extremely aggressive behavior. While they are not native to the United States, over the past several decades, their population has grown, and their territory has spread to now cover almost the entire United States.

While home invasions of indoor ants are easier to spot, fire ants prefer to live outdoors, and you may not see them. One sign that your lawn has been infested is the presence of dome-shaped mounds in sunny, open areas like lawns, sidewalks, and driveways. These mounds may seem harmless, but if disturbed, fire ants will attack.

Ants Can Threaten Your Home and Family

Fire ants often attack in large numbers and can cause significant harm to both your home and your family. Even though they are small, they both bite and sting, using their mandibles to hold on to you while they sting your body. Their stings are incredibly painful and can trigger serious allergic reactions, including nausea, dizziness, and anaphylaxis. Their mounds aren't obvious, meaning their attacks can come as a surprise. Children, pets, and those who love spending time outside are especially at risk, as it is easy to disturb their homes without realizing it.

Fire ants are an invasive species and can wreak havoc on local communities and ecosystems. Their nests can push out native plant and insect species and cause significant damage to electrical wiring. These insects also prey on local wildlife and are quick to adapt to new locations. Once they have moved to a new area, they aggressively take over and are difficult to control without professional help. That's where Mosquito Squad comes in!

Lake Country Ant Control Services

Let Mosquito Squad of Lake Country handle all your ant problems! Our Lake Country ant control service controls ants both on the surface and underground. While their mounds are small, they are connected by an underground network that can be more than ten feet deep and span over large areas of land. To control the population, the whole nest must be treated.

Mosquito Squad of Lake Country targets the whole nest with our multi-step treatment process that starts with baits and granules to treat the above-ground mounds and follows up with targeted drenching and barrier spray to target the whole underground nest. We'll pay special attention to your family's most loved areas of your lawn and house, as well as places we know fire ants love to congregate.

Multiple treatments are required for the best possible control because of how aggressive and persistent these insects are. We have subscription packages that take the weight off your shoulders so you don't have to remember to schedule multiple visits a year. We'll set a regular schedule and do all the work for you!
