Contact spray disrupts foraging trails temporarily but doesn't reach the nest, so the colony typically survives and can spread.

Colony elimination via bait typically takes one to two weeks as the product spreads through the nest.

Yes — fire ant mounds often need direct mound treatment in addition to broadcast baiting, since mounds can be scattered across a large area.

Bait treatment removes the existing colony, and ongoing perimeter service reduces the odds of a new one moving in.

We place bait in enclosed stations or protected areas specifically to limit pet and child access. It also helps to keep mulch beds pulled back a few inches from the foundation, since that gap alone reduces ant bridge points significantly.
