Fire Ant Control in Bradenton, FL

Fire Ant Control built for Bradenton homes

Bradenton's pine flatwoods soils are nearly flat and poorly drained, with the water table rising within 6 to 18 inches of the surface during part of most years. When the June-through-September rainy season delivers well over half of the city's roughly 56 annual inches, those saturated soils give fire ant colonies strong incentive to push mounds upward along driveways, garden edges and walkways. The tidal lower reach of the Braden River keeps ground near it persistently wet even between summer storms, extending the window when colonies are actively expanding. With only about one freezing night a year, colony pressure rarely pauses, and even brief cold spells do little to reduce established populations for long. An ongoing fire ant program matches that reality far better than any single seasonal treatment.
