Fire Ant Control in Bonita Springs, FL

Fire Ant Control built for Bonita Springs homes

Bonita Springs spreads across the Southwestern Florida Flatwoods, where inland elevations reach only 10 to 15 feet and the soils underneath are flat, poorly drained sands that hold moisture long after rain passes. Imported fire ants build mounds readily in these saturated conditions, relocating colonies along driveways, foundation edges and landscaped beds whenever water pools near the surface. With 50 to 53 inches of rain a year and the heaviest totals arriving between June and September, repeated flooding of mound sites forces colonies to move and rebuild across a property throughout the wet season. Southwest Florida sees no true winter cold to interrupt that cycle, so fire ant pressure in Bonita Springs carries through the year with only a brief lull in January. An ongoing program timed around the wet season keeps that pressure from resetting repeatedly.
