Fire ants are a big issue in Southwest Ranches. They build mounds in pastures, paddocks, riding arenas, lawns and along fence lines, and their stings can hurt people, dogs, horses and other animals. After heavy rain floods their nests, new mounds appear quickly across open ground, often near water troughs and fence posts where the soil stays moist.
Around the house, big-headed ants push dirt up along driveways, pavers and slabs, and ghost ants and other small ants move inside looking for food and water. Florida carpenter ants nest in oaks, palms and damp wood around barns and homes and forage indoors at night. Feed rooms and tack rooms attract ants all year.

How We Treat It
We identify the ant species and choose the treatment that fits. For fire ants, we treat mounds one by one, focusing on the spaces you and your animals use most, like arenas, walkways, paddock gates and the yard around the house. We never treat the whole pasture or spray animals. For indoor ants, we use baits and targeted treatments at entry points. Outside, we treat the foundation, mulch beds and the base of trees and palms. We plan around your animals and tell you how long to keep them off treated areas.
Fire Ants in Arenas and Paddocks
Arenas, paddocks and walkways are where fire ant stings are most likely to hurt a rider, a horse or a dog. We focus treatment there and around water troughs, gates and fence posts, where mounds often go unnoticed until someone steps on one.
Protecting Animals From Fire Ants
Fire ants can be a real hazard for foals, calves, chickens, dogs and other animals, especially when they're lying down or can't move away quickly. Mounds near feeders, water troughs and resting areas are the biggest concern. We pay extra attention to those spots and plan the timing and placement of treatment around your animals. If you have young animals or new arrivals on the property, let us know so we can prioritize the areas they'll use. Regular service, especially during the rainy season, helps keep new mounds from building up in those key areas.
Keeping Ants Down Between Visits
Walk the paddocks and arena after storms and note new mounds, but don't kick or disturb them, which just makes the colony move. Keep feed sealed and clean up spills in the barn. Keep mulch pulled back from the house and trim vines and branches off the walls and roof. Tell us when you see a new flush of mounds so we can treat early.
