How long does the yard treatment last?

Our broadcast granule barrier lasts approximately 60 days under normal conditions. Heavy rain can reduce longevity slightly, which is why we include a free re-treatment guarantee during that window.

Will the treatment kill fire ants underground?

Yes. The mound drench penetrates deep into the colony, reaching the queen and brood chambers. The broadcast granules are carried back to the nest by foraging workers, spreading the product throughout the colony network.

Can I use the yard immediately after treatment?

We recommend staying off treated areas for one hour while the product settles. After that, the yard is safe for children, pets, and bare feet.

How fast can you treat my yard in Sanibel?

Most Sanibel fire ant appointments are completed within 1-2 business days of your call. Treatment itself takes 30-60 minutes depending on yard size.
