Fire ants are a nuisance, and their bites can be painful and dangerous, but you can keep them away through fire ant control treatments. The effectiveness of fire ant control treatments depends on the specific product used on your property. Treatments against fire ants can be in liquid or granular form, and each type differs in how long they remain effective. Liquid treatments can provide immediate and quick relief against these pests, while granular treatments are more slow-release. Some granular fire ant control treatments can even last for up to a year, providing your property in North Carolina or South Carolina with long-lasting protection.
It's best to hire pest control professionals for your fire ant control needs because it can be dangerous to deal with these pests yourself. They'll make sure to use treatments that are proven effective against fire ants and administer the product at the right time for optimal results.
Fire Ant Control Treatments Come in Liquid & Granular Forms
When it comes to fire ant treatments, there are two main options: liquid and granular. Both options are effective at controlling fire ant populations, but they differ in how long they stay effective. Learn more about these fire ant control treatments below:
- Liquid Fire Ant Treatments: These treatments are quick-acting and provide immediate relief from fire ant infestations. They are usually applied directly to the mound, and they work by killing the ants on contact. They typically provide protection for a few weeks to a few months, depending on the product used. This means you'll have to continue reapplying the treatment to keep up the protection for your turf.
- Granular Fire Ant Treatments: Granular treatments are slow-release and provide long-lasting protection against fire ants. These treatments are usually applied to the entire lawn and work by killing the ants over time. The longevity of the effect of granular treatments varies. They may also need to be watered in to activate, and it can take a few weeks for them to start showing results.
Some Granular Fire Ant Control Treatments Can Last for Up to a Year
Some granular fire ant control treatments can provide protection for up to a year. These treatments are designed to release their active ingredient gradually to provide long-lasting protection against fire ant infestations, keeping these pests from establishing a colony on your property. If you’re looking for a treatment that will provide long-term results against fire ants, a granular treatment may be the best option for you.
