Matching service only. Under Florida Chapter 482 we are not a certified operator. We do not spray, bait, tent, or inspect.
Matching service. Fire ants after rain are a licensed operator job, often in lawn and ornamental pest control — not a matching-site bait bag.
After a summer storm, mounds that were invisible yesterday stand on the strip between sidewalk and garage. That is the red imported fire ant showing itself when soil is wet. UF/IFAS maintains both a species profile and turf-management guidance: mounds, stings, and the fact that kicking a mound is a bad plan.
Orlando International’s climate normals explain the calendar. June is the wettest month at 8.05 inches, with July and August close behind. Match notes that say “mounds after rain” are describing that pattern, not a new species.
Florida law splits lawn and ornamental pest control from general household pest control (Fla. Stat. § 482.021). A kitchen ant trail and a yard mound are not automatically the same licensed category. Put “fire ants in the turf after rain” in the notes so the match is not filed as palmetto bugs.
This site does not broadcast bait, drench a mound, or walk a lawn. We match you with a licensed local pest control operator who already works west Orange or south Lake.
