Fire Ants vs. Red Ants: How to Tell the Difference
While most “red ants” in North Texas lawns are red imported fire ants, not all of them are. In fact, there are a few other helpful (and some not-so-helpful) “reddish ants” that live here too.
Professional removal of colonies and prevention is our top priority. CitiTurf’s termite control in Plano stops pests in their tracks with annual inspections and a lifetime warranty against damage.

Termites lose moisture quickly, so they create small tubes made of mud. Inspect your foundation for these vertical veins of dirt.

Tap your door frame or baseboard. If it echoes, you have damage. Bubbling paint may be a sign that termites are in the wood.

Termite solutions are most common in spring when homeowners notice shedding near doors or windows. These pests shed their wings, which is a sure-fire sign that you have a problem.

Dark, pepper-like specks on your drywall are exit holes of termites.

Affordable, eco-friendly options that stop damage immediately by removing colonies.

Preventative residential measures for your home are the most effective way to identify problems before termites settle in.

Wondering how to get rid of fire ants in your yard? It all starts with treating your entire lawn with fire ant bait, followed by spot-treating mounds that are still active a few days later.
