Red imported fire ants are endemic to Anderson County and throughout East Texas. Palestine homeowners deal with fire ant mounds in lawns, along driveways, and at the edges of wooded lots year-round. The Texas two-step broadcast-plus-mound treatment recommended by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension is the most effective and cost-efficient approach for Palestine properties of any size.
Carpenter ants are equally common near Palestine’s pine forest edges. Large black ants foraging indoors typically mean either an indoor colony in moisture-damaged wood or foragers from an outdoor colony entering through foundation gaps. See our carpenter ant vs. termite damage guide to rule out termites.
For fire ants: Critter Gitters applies broadcast granular bait over the entire treatment area, then treats individual active mounds directly. This suppresses the fire ant population colony-wide rather than just knocking down visible mounds temporarily. Read our detailed fire ant treatment comparison guide.
For indoor ants: we apply a targeted gel bait and perimeter liquid treatment based on the specific species. Odorous house ants, crazy ants, and pavement ants are all common indoor pest ants in Palestine — each with different behavior patterns and optimal treatment strategies. We identify before we treat.
