This podcast, brought to you by Insight Association Management, describes the "Two-Step Method," an effective way to control fire ants in your yard here in Walsh. The method involves first using a bait insecticide to treat the entire yard, targeting the queen and worker ants. Baits are slow-acting but require minimal effort to apply. As a second step, individual ant mounds are treated with a chemical or organic mound drench, granule, bait, or dust. This approach is effective when there are many ant mounds and the goal is to eliminate the fire ant colony. This podcast provides advice on applying both bait and mound treatments, including timing, application techniques, and types of products available.
