Best Fire Ant Solutions for Golf Course Management

Golf courses management need the best fire ant killer for the safety of their clientele. Fire Ant Specialists can help protect the greens. We don’t want your golfers teeing off on a fire ant mound.

With our home office in Ocala, we are no strangers to golf courses or vast spreads of land. Fire Ant Specialists, along with our sister companies, can provide coverage for up to 1,000 acres a day. This is sufficient for treating your golf course.

Understand that one mound is evidence that there are potentially 500,000 ants on your property. Since golf courses usually incorporate several acres of land, it is possible that more than one colony resides there. That can make the number grow quickly.

What’s the Plan?

As a golf course owner or manager, as soon as you hear about one of your golfers receiving a fire ant sting, you should be on the phone with Fire Ant Specialists. One ant can mean thousands, even hundreds of thousands, more ants.

Golf courses cannot risk injury to their players. Sadly, ants can be deadly to those who are allergic to the toxins they inject during a sting. The last thing you need is someone going into anaphylaxis on the back nine.

The plan, then, is to have Fire Ant Specialists come out and give you an estimate. We can tell you how much it will cost to treat your entire property. Treating your entire property is the answer, not spot treatments that just cause ants to move their entrances.

We will also provide you with a timeframe for seeing results. If any residual activity remains past our cutoff date, we will spot-treat for free. And when you sign up for 2–3 treatments a year, we can guarantee you will have a 99% ant-free golf course.

Your clients and their families will definitely appreciate that level of certainty and protection from these pests.

How Does It Work?

The way it works is fairly simple. Our specially formulated bait granules are targeted. Your store-bought options are kill-on-contact chemicals. Ours are slow-release and specifically designed to hit the queen.

We spread the bait granules across the entirety of your golf course. Any neighborhood squirrels or other creatures that frequent your grounds will not be endangered by our formula.

The bait attracts the worker ants who want to bring it back to their queen. Because ours is slow-release, they live long enough to deliver it to her for ingestion. When she eats our bait, it sterilizes her. This is the key to completely destroying the colony on your property.

Kill-on-contact treatments will only take out the surface-level ants because they are so harsh. There is no time for their “baits” to arrive deep inside the colony’s tunnels or the queen’s chamber.

And ants are incredibly intelligent. When they recognize that a slaughter has ensued near one of their mound entrances, they create a different entrance. We have no intention of chasing them around your property, and we are sure you don’t want mounds popping up all over the place.

Fire Ant Specialists’ treatments sterilize the queen so she cannot replenish her forces. As her workers die off, there is no one to care for the previously laid eggs and larvae. Everything starves, including the queen, and you’ve got your golf course back.
