How Long Do Fire Ant Treatments Remain Effective?

If your property in Northeast Georgia has fire ant issues, applying fire ant control treatments is the best way to get rid of them. This begs the question—how long do fire ant control treatments last? It depends on the type of treatment used. For example, liquid treatments yield quick results but don't last as long, while granular treatments are slow-release and will control fire ant populations over an extended period. Some granular treatments can even last for up to a year! Additionally, you'll want to hire professionals to administer these treatments, as it's dangerous to deal with fire ants, and they'll use ones proven effective against them and provide long-lasting protection.

How long a fire ant control treatment will remain effective depends on the type of product used.

How long fire ant treatments remain effective depends on the type of product used. Fire ant infestations can be treated with liquid or granular treatments. Liquid treatments have fast-acting properties and yield quick results, effectively eliminating these pests shortly after administering them. However, they don't last as long, meaning they won't continue to control their populations for an extended period. This means you might need to reapply liquid fire ant control treatments repeatedly.

On the other hand, granular treatments are slow-release and need to be watered in to activate. While they'll take about 4-6 weeks to start showing results, they will control fire ant populations over an extended period. Unlike liquid treatments, you don't have to apply granular fire ant control over and over again!

Some granular fire ant control treatments can last for up to a year.

Not all fire ant control treatments are created equal. Granular treatments are known to provide lasting coverage against fire ants, but some products can offer extended protection for up to a year! These kinds of treatments are formulated to gradually release their active ingredients over a prolonged period. This way, the active ingredient remains on the ground for a longer time to maintain an effective barrier against fire ants.

It's best to hire professionals to administer fire ant treatments.

While you may want to administer fire ant treatments yourself, it's best to hire professionals to do it instead. After all, it's dangerous to deal with fire ants, as they can bite you and cause pain and discomfort. However, professionals have the experience and knowledge to handle these pests safely and effectively. They'll also know which treatment is best for your property and how to apply it properly. Not only that, but they'll use treatments proven effective against them and provide long-lasting protection. That way, you can feel confident that they'll get the job done right, and you won't have to worry about fire ants again for the foreseeable future!
