Ant Control built for Lakeway homes
Red imported fire ants are the dominant ant in Lakeway, building mounds across the open sunny ground between rock outcrops and along irrigated lawns and golf turf. The thin limestone soils don't stop them, and summer heat pushes both fire ants and household ants toward the moisture and food inside homes. Effective control combines yard-wide baiting for fire ants with targeted treatment of the ant trails that follow foundations indoors.
In Lakeway specifically: Maintained turf around the Live Oak Golf Course and the irrigated lawns of neighborhoods like Lakeway Highlands gives fire ants the moist soil they favor, so mound treatment there is a recurring need.
Local climate & pest pressure: Lakeway sits on rugged Hill Country limestone bluffs above Lake Travis, where thin rocky soils, hot dry summers, and the lake's moisture line create prime harborage for scorpions and other drought-adapted pests that move indoors seeking water. Fire ant mounds are most visible and active from spring through fall, surging after rains and during the warm months when colonies expand.

Frequently asked questions
Red imported fire ants thrive in the sunny, irrigated turf and open ground between Lakeway's rock outcrops, and they readily colonize watered lawns and landscaped beds. The limestone soil doesn't deter them, so yard-wide baiting is usually needed alongside spot treatment.
The size of the lawn, the number of fire ant mounds, and whether household ants have also moved indoors all factor into cost. Large irrigated lots with heavy mound activity take more baiting and follow-up than a small yard with an occasional trail.
