Fire ants can wreak havoc on your lawn, causing unsightly damage as well as painful stings. At Green Top Lawn Care, our fire ant control services eliminate these pests using leading insecticide spray and granules for quick, lasting results. If this is your first time dealing with fire ants, you might be unsure about the benefits of treatment. Let’s look at how treating fire ants can improve your lawn and transform your outdoor living space.
What Are the Benefits of Treating Fire Ants for Your Lawn?
The warm, sunny conditions in Texas create the ideal environment for invasive fire ants to thrive. Fortunately, with the help of the lawn pest treatment professionals at Green Top Lawn Care, you can reclaim your lawn from this common pest.
Improve the Lawn’s Appearance
Fire ants build mounds that can range from a few inches to 18 inches tall, with a single colony housing up to 500,000 ants. Naturally, these mounds are highly destructive for a lawn, and require fire ant management that eliminates the colony and prevents its return.
Promote Even Grass Growth
Attractive lawns are notable for their thick, even layer of grass. However, fire ants actually disrupt the roots of the grass and can prevent growth in patches of the lawn. Treatment helps develop a healthier, more uniform lawn by eliminating these destructive insects.
Prevent Turf Damage
If you have fire ants in your yard, you’ll probably start to notice some brown patches and weakened areas of turf. Much of the damage comes from the vast number of ants, all disturbing and compacting the soil near the mounds. But before the soil and grass can be restored to a healthy state, you’ll first need to deal with these common Texas lawn pests.
Improve Soil Quality
Treating fire ants helps maintain a healthy soil structure and a thriving lawn. After treating for fire ants, the soil can get proper aeration and water infiltration. This process creates an ideal environment for grass roots to absorb nutrients more efficiently.
Create a Safer Environment
It’s not only your lawn that’s at risk here – stings from fire ants are often painful and can lead to allergic reactions. If you have young children or pets, fear of an allergic response may cause considerable stress. By successfully treating fire ants, your family can enjoy the yard without fear.
Protect Garden-Friendly Bugs
A typical lawn is an active ecosystem, one that’s filled with helpful insects like worms, bees and others, as well as with frustrating pests. High-quality fire ant management will employ lawn-damaging insect control services to eliminate fire ants without disrupting the insects that contribute to a thriving lawn and usable outdoor space.
