Ant and Fire Ant Control in New Braunfels, TX

Helping Homeowners in New Braunfels, McQueeney & Central Texas

Ants can quickly turn a minor inconvenience into a recurring pest problem. Some species enter kitchens and bathrooms searching for food or moisture, while fire ants establish colonies in lawns, gardens, and other outdoor spaces.

Common Signs of Ant Activity

You may need professional ant control when you notice:

  • Trails of ants along countertops, walls, or baseboards
  • Repeated ants around sinks, pantry items, or pet food
  • Ant activity near exterior doors and window openings
  • Soil mounds appearing in lawns or landscaped areas
  • Painful stings after walking through grassy spaces
  • Ant colonies returning after repeated household treatments



Identifying the type of ant matters because different species have different nesting habits and treatment requirements.

Why Fire Ants Are a Concern in the New Braunfels Area

Fire ants are especially troublesome in outdoor living spaces. Their colonies can develop in lawns, along sidewalks, and around landscaped areas where people or pets spend time.


Disturbed fire ant colonies can produce multiple stings, and some individuals may experience serious allergic reactions.


Household ant problems present different challenges. Colonies may be outside the structure, within inaccessible spaces, or in areas affected by moisture. Treating only the ants visible on a counter may not address the larger problem.

How Pinnacle Pest Defense Approaches Ant Control

Inspection and Identification

We begin by evaluating the reported activity, including ant trails, nesting areas, moisture sources, and conditions that may be attracting ants to the property.


Targeted Pest Management

A technician recommends treatment based on the identified pest and its location. Indoor ant activity and outdoor fire ant colonies may require different control approaches.


Prevention Recommendations

Keeping food in sealed containers, cleaning spills, repairing moisture issues, and addressing accessible entry points can reduce conditions favorable to ants.


Ongoing Service

New ant colonies may develop over time, particularly outdoors. Pinnacle Pest Defense offers recurring residential pest management, including a Pinnacle Pro plan that specifically advertises fire ant control with bi-monthly service.


Your technician can explain which plan and any follow-up work is appropriate.

Indoor and Outdoor Ant Control

Whether ants are entering a New Braunfels kitchen, gathering near a McQueeney patio, or establishing mounds across a lawn, a property-specific assessment helps determine what needs to be addressed.


We work with residential and commercial customers throughout our established Texas Hill Country service area.
