Fire Ant Control in Cypress, TX

Fire Ant Control built for Cypress homes

Cypress occupies a flat Gulf Coast plain where elevation drops almost imperceptibly from west to east and water moves slowly across clay-enriched, poorly drained soils. Red imported fire ants build colonies readily in these conditions, pushing mounds up along foundation edges, garden borders and the margins of driveways where moist soil stays workable. About 51 inches of rainfall spread across the year keeps ground moisture high, and the slightly wetter stretches around May and October give colonies repeated opportunities to expand. The area sees roughly 14 freezing nights annually, not enough cold to set colonies back for more than a short stretch, and mound activity resumes as soon as temperatures recover. A recurring treatment program is the most practical way to stay ahead of that cycle.
