Fire ants can quickly turn lawns, play areas, and outdoor gathering spaces into places you would rather avoid. Hippo Turf Care provides targeted fire ant control designed to reduce active colonies and help protect your property throughout the season.
Visible mounds are only part of an active fire ant population. Treating individual mounds may provide short-term relief, but broader lawn protection can help address colonies throughout the property.
Target fire ants already established throughout your lawn.
Help reduce fire ant activity throughout the warmer months.
Make lawns, play areas, and frequently used spaces more enjoyable.
Use professional applications designed specifically for fire ant pressure.
Fire ants can establish colonies throughout residential properties and become especially disruptive around areas where families, pets, and guests spend time outdoors.
Fire ant colonies can spread across a property, and new colonies may develop even after individual mounds are disturbed or treated.
Some fire ant activity is obvious, while other colonies may be present before large mounds become noticeable.
Raised areas of loose soil appearing throughout lawns are one of the most recognizable signs.
New colonies appearing in different parts of the yard can indicate broader fire ant activity.
Fire ant mounds may become more noticeable following warm, wet weather.
Activity near patios, walkways, play spaces, and other frequently used areas deserves attention.

Professional fire ant treatment is applied based on property conditions and activity.
We watch for recurring activity and new mound development during future visits.
Season-long options help maintain control throughout periods of increased activity.
Treating the mound you can see may help temporarily, but recurring fire ant problems often require attention beyond a single colony.
Fire ant control is especially valuable for properties where children, pets, family members, or guests regularly use the lawn and outdoor living areas.
Fire ant control can be combined with other turf care services to help keep the lawn healthier, more attractive, and more enjoyable throughout the year.
Fire ants can establish multiple colonies throughout a property. Treating only visible mounds may not address other colonies or new populations developing elsewhere in the lawn.
Simply disturbing or flattening a mound does not necessarily eliminate the colony. Fire ants may rebuild or move activity to another location.
Fire ant activity is commonly more noticeable during warmer weather, especially when soil and moisture conditions are favorable.
