Fire ants are a persistent problem in The Woodlands’ maintained lawns, common areas, and park spaces. Montgomery County’s warm, moist soils allow red imported fire ant colonies to establish year-round, with new mounds appearing rapidly after spring rains. Carpenter ants are the second major ant issue, particularly near The Woodlands’ wooded buffers where large black ants forage along tree roots and enter homes through foundation gaps.
Correctly identifying the ant species is critical to treatment success. See our guide on identifying ant species in East Texas and our comparison of carpenter ant vs. termite damage — two pests Woodlands homeowners frequently confuse.
For fire ants in maintained Woodlands lawns: we use the Texas two-step method recommended by Texas A&M AgriLife — broadcast granular bait over the entire treatment area followed by individual mound treatment for active mounds. This suppresses fire ant populations by 80–90% within weeks.
For carpenter ants: we apply a targeted perimeter liquid treatment combined with gel bait near the structure’s entry points and any moisture-damaged wood zones. For indoor ant trails (odorous house ants, crazy ants, pavement ants common in Woodlands kitchens): bait placement along active trails is more effective than spray-only approaches.
