Fire ant bites are not only painful but can pose a serious health risk to you, your family, and pets. Northwest Exterminating’s Fire Ant Management Program can control fire ant colonies within 24 to 72 hours. Once the entire yard is treated, all of the colonies begin to diminish… even those underground! Our Fire Ant Management Program has had great success with eliminating colonies on recreational ball fields, playgrounds, school yards, parks, and residential yards.
