Now that we have fire ants in our community, it’s time to learn how to keep them under control this coming spring through summer. Two things, first accept the fact that it is doubtful that you will ever get rid of them and you should understand what steps are required to keep them at bay. It’s all about timing, applying the proper insecticide at the best time; May-June and September-October. The two approaches are bait treatment and direct mound treatment. The best effective controlling program is a two-step process using both treatments. Bait treatment allows foraging ants to pick up the bait and take it back to the nest to feed the colony. Direct mound treatment uses an insecticide which is applied directly on the mound. The baits and mound insecticides are very hard to find in local garden center, so you might want to consider a professional, you can contact me at gogreenpestcontrol.ca @gmail.com, if you do it yourself be sure you read all directions on the product’s label.
