Feeling the Burn? Mosquito Joe of Charleston can rid your yard of Fire Ants!
Mosquitoes, fleas, ticks and now, fire ants! Mosquito Joe of Charleston now provides fire ant treatments to our residential and commercial customers. Here in South Carolina, fire ants are no joke, and Mosquito Joe knows just how to eradicate them so that you and your family can enjoy the outdoors bite free.
Fire ants build mounds in almost any type of soil, but prefer open, sunny areas such as pastures, parks, lawns, meadows and cultivated fields. Mounds can reach 18 inches in height, depending on the type of soil. Often mounds are located in rotting logs and around stumps and trees. Colonies also can occur in or under buildings. Fire ants live in colonies in the soil and the mound you see above ground represents just a portion of the entire nest.
The single queen colonies are territorial. Multi-plan queen colonies move freely from one mound to another, which results in a dramatic increase in 
the number of mounds per acre. Areas infested with single queen colonies contain 40 to 150 mounds per acre (rarely more than 7 million ants per acre). In areas with multiple queen colonies, there may be 200 or more mounds and 40 million ants per acre.
To make sure we achieve maximum effectiveness, we treat your yard with broadcast treatments 4 times a year and treat individual ant mounds that can be visually seen. Just like our mosquito treatments, no contracts are required, and your satisfaction is guaranteed.
