ANNUAL
FIRE ANT
CONTROL
One professional broadcast application of Taurus Trio G delivers up to a full year of fire ant control across your entire lawn - no repeat treatments, no monthly fees.
One Application. All Year.
What the Annual Fire Ant Program Includes
One professionally applied broadcast treatment covers your entire lawn with up to a year of fire ant control. If fire ants are seen after the application, call David and he'll return to treat that area - at no additional charge.
Initial Property Assessment
Before treatment, David walks the property to assess current fire ant activity, identify active mounds, and measure the lawn area to calculate the correct product application rate.
- Full lawn walk to locate active mounds
- Turf area measured for accurate application rate
- Conducive conditions noted and communicated
- Application plan confirmed before treatment begins
Broadcast Granule Application
Taurus Trio G granules are broadcast evenly across the entire lawn at the labeled rate using a professional spreader - delivering uniform coverage that reaches fire ant colonies throughout the turf, not just visible mounds.
- Even broadcast coverage across full lawn area
- Applied at 2 lbs. per 1,000 sq ft per label rate
- Verge Technology granule ensures uniform distribution
- No-dust formula - clean, precise application
- Registered for turfgrass and landscaped areas
Free Return Visit if Needed
If fire ants are seen after the application, call David. He'll return to inspect the area and treat it at no additional charge. Fire ant activity after a broadcast treatment is uncommon but can occur in areas of high reinfestation pressure from neighboring properties.
- Call David directly if activity is seen
- Return visit at no additional charge
- Targeted spot treatment to the affected area
- Activity assessed and documented
The Product
Taurus Trio G - Triple-Active Fire Ant Control
Not all fire ant granules are the same. Taurus Trio G is the only granule on the market combining three active ingredients in a single uniform particle - delivering faster knockdown and longer residual than single-active products.
Taurus® Trio G Granular Insecticide
By Control Solutions Inc. - Powered by Fipronil, Bifenthrin, and Lambda-Cyhalothrin combined in a single Verge Technology granule. Two unique modes of action. Up to a year of fire ant control in one application.
Three Active Ingredients
Fipronil (0.0143%), Bifenthrin (0.23%), and Lambda-Cyhalothrin (0.059%) - each targeting fire ant colonies through different mechanisms. No other granule combines these three in a single particle.
Two Modes of Action
GABA Inhibitor and Sodium Channel Blocker working together - making it significantly harder for fire ant colonies to develop resistance compared to single-mode products.
Verge Technology Granule
The Verge Technology platform ensures all three active ingredients are uniformly distributed in every granule - no clumping, no hot spots, no uneven coverage across the lawn.
Also Controls
In addition to fire ants, Taurus Trio G controls mole crickets, fleas, ticks, and other nuisance ant species in treated areas - added lawn protection beyond fire ant control alone.
Broadcast Application
Applied by broadcast spreader at 2 lbs. per 1,000 sq ft across turfgrass and landscaped areas. Registered for residential, commercial, parks, schools, and sports fields.
Restricted Use Product
Taurus Trio G is a Restricted Use Pesticide - only licensed applicators can purchase and apply it. This is professional-grade control that is not available over the counter to homeowners.
Why Annual Control Works
One Treatment vs. Chasing Mounds All Year
Treating individual mounds as they appear is a losing battle in Florida. A broadcast granule application addresses the entire lawn at once - including colonies that haven't surfaced yet.
-
✓
Mound treatments only get what you can see. A fire ant colony can have multiple satellite mounds connected by underground tunnels - treating the visible mound drives the colony underground without eliminating it. A broadcast application delivers active ingredient across the entire lawn, reaching colonies that haven't produced a surface mound yet.
-
✓
Florida fire ants recolonize aggressively. Sarasota and Manatee County's sandy soils, warm temperatures, and year-round breeding make fire ant recolonization from neighboring properties a persistent challenge. A residual broadcast application maintains a treated zone across your full lawn for up to a year - making your property consistently inhospitable to new colonies moving in from adjacent areas.
-
✓
Three active ingredients outperform single-ingredient granules. Consumer fire ant products typically use a single active ingredient applied at consumer-safe concentrations. Taurus Trio G combines Fipronil, Bifenthrin, and Lambda-Cyhalothrin with two different modes of action - delivering faster colony knockdown, longer residual protection, and a higher barrier against resistance development than anything available at a hardware store.
-
✓
One application is more cost-effective than ongoing treatments. A single professional broadcast application starting at $249 covers your full lawn for up to a year. Compared to monthly fire ant bait applications, repeated mound treatments, or the ongoing labor cost of managing fire ant pressure yourself throughout a Florida summer, the annual program delivers significantly better value per square foot of protected turf.

The Annual Fire Ant Control program is as straightforward as pest control gets - one visit, a thorough broadcast application, and a year of protection backed by a free return visit if needed.
Schedule & Quote
Contact David for a free quote. Pricing starts at $249 and is based on lawn size. David will confirm the square footage and schedule the application at a time that works for you - no need to be home for the treatment.
Broadcast Application
David arrives, walks the property to assess current activity, then broadcasts Taurus Trio G granules evenly across the full lawn at the labeled rate. The granules begin working immediately on contact with soil moisture and foraging worker ants.
Year-Round Protection
The treated lawn is protected for up to 12 months. If fire ants are seen at any point after the application, call David - he'll return and treat the area at no additional charge. No waiting, no runaround.
See Fire Ants After Treatment? Call David.
If fire ants appear anywhere on the treated lawn after the initial application, call David directly and he will return to inspect and treat the affected area at no additional charge. It's that simple - one call and he's there.
Why Ratical
Professional Application Makes the Difference
Taurus Trio G is a Restricted Use Pesticide - it's not available to the public. The product is only as good as the application, and a professional broadcast by someone who knows your property and Florida fire ant behavior delivers results that hardware store granules cannot match.
State-Licensed Applicator
David holds a Florida Department of Agriculture pest control license. Taurus Trio G requires a licensed applicator to purchase and apply - this is professional-grade control unavailable over the counter.
Accurate Rate Application
Getting the application rate right matters. Too light and the residual is shortened; uneven coverage leaves gaps. David calibrates the spreader and measures the lawn area before treatment to ensure the labeled rate is applied uniformly across the full property.
Family & Pet Safe When Dry
Taurus Trio G granules are safe for children and pets to re-enter treated areas once the granules have settled and any irrigation or rain has been absorbed. David will tell you exactly when it's safe before leaving.
You Always Reach David
If you see fire ant activity after the treatment, you call David directly. Not a call center, not a scheduling queue - David, who knows your property and will get back out to you fast.
