Overview What is Forterra's ant control service?
Forterra Ant Control in Dallas identifies the species first, because odorous house ants, fire ants and carpenter ants lead back to three different places. On older housing the trail usually starts at a tree root or shared fence line and ends wherever the slab has moved.

On the ground in Dallas
Older slabs, and the cracks they open.
Ant work in the Dallas office's territory is mostly a structural story. A lot of the housing here has been standing long enough to move, and odorous house ants do not need much of a gap to follow a moisture line in under a kitchen sink or behind a dishwasher. In the older neighborhoods with alleys and mature trees, the trail usually starts outside at a tree root or a shared fence line and ends at whatever is easiest to reach indoors.
That changes the order of work. Spraying a trail on a countertop kills the ants on the counter and tells you nothing about where they are coming from. We identify the species first, because odorous house ants, fire ants and carpenter ants lead back to three different places, then treat the colony rather than the trail and close the route behind it. On a quarterly plan most of this becomes maintenance rather than a recurring call.

Why baiting beats spraying
We treat the colony, not the trail.
Killing a trail on a counter tells you nothing about where it starts. On older Dallas slabs the route in follows a moisture line under the kitchen, and that is what has to be treated.
Stage 01
01
Identify species
Fire ant, carpenter ant and sugar ant fail to different treatments.
Fire ant, carpenter ant and odorous house ant each fail differently. Five minutes of identification decides the whole treatment plan.
Stage 02
02
Bait colonies
Workers carry the bait home and feed it to the queen for us.
When the nest can be found, we treat the colony directly. When it cannot, baits and non-repellent sprays go where the trails are, and the workers carry the product home to the queen and brood, slower, but it is how a colony actually dies.
Stage 03
03
Seal routes
The routes get sealed and the quarterly barrier keeps pressure outside.
Ants enter through gaps a credit card can't fit. The Zero Gap perimeter treatment closes the routes, and quarterly visits keep the pressure outside.
Your yard, from above
Where the ant battle actually happens, zone by zone.
A trail behind the dishwasher, mounds in the sunny strip of an older lawn, and sawdust below a hole in a garage rafter.

- 01
Foundation band
The perimeter line where trails cross into the house. The Zero Gap band here is what separates yard ants from kitchen ants.
- 02
Fence-line beds
Fire ant mounds pop up in the open lawn, not along cover. Single mounds get individual treatment; a yard that keeps producing them gets broadcast granular bait across the whole lawn.
- 03
Shaded beds
Moist mulch under trees hosts odorous house ant colonies, the 'sugar ants' that split when sprayed.
- 04
Under the deck
Protected soil that never gets raked, a favorite nesting void for multiple colonies at once.
- 05
Garage corner
Sweet spills and pet food make the garage the ants' first indoor stop. targeted spray work live here.
- 06
Garden beds
Trees are nests too. Carpenter ants love crape myrtles, and ants trailing one near the house almost always means a colony in it. Beds and trunks get checked together.

Frequently asked
Questions in Dallas, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (972) 349-1621 or text us, a human will answer.
Because the spray killed foragers and left the colony. On older Dallas housing the nest is usually outside, at a tree root or under the slab edge, and the trail you treated was the last few feet of a much longer route.
They hurt and a cluster of stings is genuinely unpleasant, but for most people the risk is irritation rather than danger. Anyone with a known sting allergy should treat a mound near a Dallas back door as something to have removed rather than managed.
Carpenter ants push out coarse sawdust and leave the wood tunnelled rather than eaten. Termites leave mud tubes and eat it. In older Dallas homes with mature trees both are plausible, so we confirm from the damage rather than a phone description.
Products go where ants travel rather than across open floors, which keeps them away from the places children and pets use. We will tell you which areas to stay off and for how long rather than leaving you to guess.
Ant work sits inside the quarterly plan at $49 a month with initial service from $149. A heavy fire ant population across an older Dallas lot may need extra yard treatment, and we quote that separately rather than folding it in quietly.
