Jane, I occasionally get fire ants around the property but I walk the lot a few times a month and as soon as I see a mound, I immediately call my Pest Control who comes out ASAP and treats the mound. His method was sooo much better than mine, I hired them with a total Pest control contract and just love them to death. Each visit is covered by the contract, so its a easy thing to do. Every month, a young man comes and sprays the whole yard and also fertilizes it and my lawn looks wonderful. About 3 or 4 times a year, I have the indoor guy come and spray everything inside including the lanai and garage, so that my doggies cannot get stung by a spider.
We don't get fleas in my house because my dogs never go outside except in my lanai and I keep that well treated. God Forbid, the King and Queen of the house should get a flea on them... OMG,,, they would never forgive me....
