Why Fire Ants Can Become a Problem in Sienna
Fire ants can establish colonies throughout lawns, landscaping, flower beds, and other areas around your property. A few visible mounds can quickly become a larger problem, especially during periods of warm weather and increased moisture.
Fire ants aren't just an annoyance. Their painful stings can make lawns and outdoor living areas difficult to enjoy, especially for families with children and pets.

What Our Fire Ant Treatment Includes
Whole Yard Fire Ant Treatment
We treat the entire yard, not just the visible fire ant mounds. Fire ant colonies can be present even where a mound isn't obvious, so our treatment is designed to provide comprehensive coverage throughout the property.
Fire Ant Bait Application
We apply professional fire ant bait throughout appropriate areas of the yard. Worker ants carry the bait back to the colony, helping target the colony where it lives instead of only treating what you see on the surface.
Broadcast Granular Treatment
We broadcast granular fire ant treatment across the yard to provide widespread coverage and target fire ant activity throughout the property.
Active Mound Treatment
Visible and active fire ant mounds are addressed as part of the service. Instead of simply chasing individual mounds as they appear, we combine mound treatment with our whole yard approach.
1 Year Colony-Elimination Guarantee
Our comprehensive fire ant service includes a one year guarantee on colony elimination, giving homeowners long term confidence in their treatment.
General Pest Control Customers: Courtesy Mound Treatment
Already an Alco general pest control customer in Sienna? When we encounter visible fire ant mounds during a qualifying general pest control visit, we may treat those mounds as a complimentary courtesy service.
Courtesy mound treatments are different from our comprehensive fire ant service and are not covered by the general pest control warranty. For homeowners who want whole yard fire ant protection and our one year colony elimination guarantee, our dedicated fire ant treatment is the way to go.
When Are Fire Ants Most Active in Sienna?
Fire ants can be active throughout much of the year in the Houston area, but activity often increases as temperatures warm and soil conditions become favorable.
Spring and warmer months can bring increased fire ant activity, with new colonies and mounds appearing throughout lawns, landscaping, and other areas of the yard.
After rainfall, fire ant mounds can become especially noticeable as colonies move closer to the surface or build new mounds. And what you see above ground may only be part of the problem! Fire ant colonies can be present even when there isn't an obvious mound.
That’s why Alco’s comprehensive fire ant service treats the entire yard, rather than relying only on treating visible mounds after they appear.
Signs You May Have a Fire Ant Problem

Multiple fire ant mounds appearing throughout your yard

If fire ant mounds keep appearing around your property, treating individual mounds may not address colonies elsewhere in the yard. Alco’s comprehensive fire ant treatment targets the entire yard for long-term fire ant control.

Can you treat my entire yard for fire ants?

Why do fire ants keep coming back?
Treating only the mounds you can see may leave other fire ant colonies elsewhere on the property. New colonies can also move into favorable areas. That's why Alco treats the entire yard instead of relying solely on individual mound treatments.
Are fire ants dangerous?
Fire ants can deliver painful stings, and some people and animals can have more serious reactions. Colonies around lawns, play areas, patios, pools, and other outdoor spaces can also make it difficult to comfortably enjoy your yard.
