Keep Fire Ants Under Control
Simply Green treats fire ants across Atlanta commercial properties with professional-grade granular treatment that controls existing colonies and helps prevent new colonies from becoming established for up to one year.
Your Fire Ant Control Plan
Simply Green checks the property for fire ant activity, determines which turf areas need treatment, applies the granular treatment, and provides clear instructions for watering and access after service.
Reported activity, visible mounds, and regularly used lawn areas are reviewed to determine where fire ants are active.
Suitable turf is checked for mounds, disturbed soil, and other signs of activity. Recent rain, irrigation, and soil conditions are also considered.
Treatment areas are selected based on the property layout and fire ant activity, rather than on the location of a single visible mound.
Professional-grade granular insecticide is applied evenly across the appropriate turf in accordance with label directions.
The application is watered into the soil after treatment. The property contact receives the watering and access instructions for the service.
Once properly applied and activated, the treatment controls existing colonies and helps prevent new colonies from becoming established for up to one year.
Follow the watering, property access, and aftercare instructions provided after service. Share the instructions with landscaping, maintenance, facility, and other teams working on treated areas.
Water the treated turf according to the instructions provided after service and avoid excessive watering that causes runoff.
Keep people and pets away from treated turf until the application has been watered in and the provided access instructions have been followed.
Do not sweep, collect, or disturb granules on treated turf before they have been properly watered into the soil.
Do not dig into or flood visible mounds immediately after service. Allow the treatment time to work through the colony.
Let Simply Green know about unusual fire ant activity that continues after treatment so the affected area can be checked.
A Broader Property Strategy
Commercial fire ant control works best when the service looks beyond individual mounds, treats the suitable turf where colonies may be present, and gives the property team clear instructions for activating and protecting the treatment.
Visible mounds help identify activity, but they do not show every colony below the soil. Simply Green reviews reported activity, disturbed soil, high-use lawn areas, recent moisture conditions, and the broader property layout before treatment areas are selected.
Professional-grade granular treatment is applied across suitable turf rather than only around individual mounds. The treatment plan can include larger lawns, shared spaces, recreation turf, pet areas, and other appropriate sections of the property.
The application must be watered into the soil according to the service instructions. Once properly applied and activated, it controls existing colonies and helps prevent new colonies from becoming established for up to one year.
Plan Around the Property
Reports from entrances, walkways, playgrounds, dog parks, amenity lawns, courtyards, event spaces, and maintenance areas help identify where the property needs closer review.
Treatment is planned around suitable commercial turf and the property layout rather than a single visible mound. The assessment helps determine whether isolated areas or broader turf sections should be included.
The granular application needs to be watered into the soil. The property contact should be able to coordinate watering and access instructions with landscaping, maintenance, facility, or irrigation teams.
Commercial fire ant service can be included in an annual agreement or scheduled as needed. The property layout, current activity, and desired service arrangement should be reviewed before scheduling.
Fire ant visibility can change with temperature and moisture. During hot or dry periods, ants may move deeper into the soil, so a lack of obvious mounds does not always mean the property has no activity.
Best-Fit Commercial Properties
Commercial fire ant control is most useful where suitable turf is used regularly by residents, customers, employees, guests, contractors, or pets and where recurring colonies can create ongoing property concerns.
Plan the Treatment Schedule
Fire ant treatment can be applied throughout the year. Simply Green can provide service through an annual commercial agreement or on an as-needed basis, depending on the property and current activity.
Program Point | Timing / Frequency | Commercial Planning Note |
Property assessment | Before treatment | Review reported activity, visible mounds, suitable turf, property layout, high-use areas, and recent soil or moisture conditions. |
Granular treatment | As scheduled for the property | Apply professional-grade treatment evenly across the appropriate turf according to label directions. |
Water-in step | After application | Follow the watering instructions so the treatment is properly activated in the soil. |
Protection period | Up to one year when properly applied and activated | The treatment controls existing colonies and helps prevent new colonies from becoming established. |
Year-round application | Available throughout the year | Surface activity may change with temperature and moisture even when colonies remain below the soil. |
Service arrangement | Annual agreement or as needed | Choose the service approach based on the property, current activity, and commercial maintenance plan. |
Protect the Treatment After Service
Water the treated turf according to the service instructions so the granular application can move into the soil. Avoid excessive watering that creates runoff.
The property contact receives access instructions for the application. Those instructions should be shared with residents, employees, landscapers, maintenance teams, and others who use or work around the treated turf.
Do not sweep, collect, flood, or dig into treated areas before the application has been properly watered in and given time to work through the colony.
If unusual fire ant activity continues after treatment, record the location and contact Simply Green so the affected area can be checked.
Commercial Program Value
A mound is only one sign of fire ant activity. Treating suitable turf provides broader coverage than responding only to the colonies that are obvious on the day of service.
Entrances, walkways, playgrounds, pet areas, amenity lawns, courtyards, event turf, and maintenance areas can be reviewed when they are part of the appropriate treatment area.
Once properly activated, the treatment controls existing colonies and helps prevent new colonies from becoming established for up to one year.
Watering, access, and aftercare instructions can be shared with the landscaping, maintenance, facility, and irrigation teams responsible for the grounds.
Plan the Commercial Scope
Commercial properties differ in turf area, layout, access, current fire ant activity, and the amount of ground that needs treatment. Simply Green provides a commercial estimate after reviewing the property and the service scope.
Estimate Factor | What Is Reviewed |
Amount of suitable turf | The total turf area included in treatment and whether service is limited to selected zones or broader lawn areas. |
Property layout and use | Entrances, playgrounds, dog parks, amenities, event areas, maintenance turf, and other sections that may need to be included. |
Current fire ant activity | Reported locations, visible mounds, disturbed soil, and other signs that help define the treatment area. |
Access and watering requirements | Irrigation access, watering coordination, gated areas, operating schedules, and other site requirements that affect application and activation. |
Service arrangement | Whether the property uses an annual commercial agreement or schedules fire ant treatment as needed. |
Protect High Use Areas
Fire ants can establish colonies throughout suitable commercial turf. Simply Green considers current activity, the property layout, and how different lawn areas are used when planning treatment.
Turf beside entrances, sidewalks, pedestrian routes, and other access areas can be included in treatment.
Grass around playgrounds and recreation areas is checked for visible mounds and other signs of fire ant activity.
Dog parks, pet routes, fence lines, and surrounding turf can be included based on current activity and property needs.
