Ant Control for Owasso homes
Fire ants spread quickly across new Owasso lawns and common areas, especially in neighborhoods still being built.
We serve all of Owasso (74055) in Tulsa County and Rogers County, including Smith Farm, Bailey Ranch, Stone Canyon, and the neighborhoods along Bird Creek. Our technicians work in these neighborhoods every week, so they know where problems start.
What you need to know
About ant control in Owasso
Oklahoma has several kinds of ants that cause trouble. Red imported fire ants build mounds in lawns and sting hard. Carpenter ants hollow out damp wood. Odorous house ants and pavement ants march into kitchens after rain.
Spraying the ants you see often makes things worse because the colony splits. The fix is the right bait or treatment for the right ant, so workers carry it back and the colony dies.
Warning signs
Signs you need ant control
- Dirt mounds in the lawn, often after rain
