Fire ants on Carolina Forest lots and sandy Horry County soil
Carolina Forest and the newer neighborhoods west of Myrtle Beach were built on cleared timberland. Fresh grading, new sod, and open sunny lawns are exactly the ground fire ants move into, so mounds often show up in a new build's yard within the first season. Fire ants also thrive in the sandy soil found across much of Horry County, which drains fast and lets colonies tunnel deep and rebuild quickly after a rain knocks a mound flat.
Treating only the mounds you can see tends to push a colony a few feet over rather than end it. Our crews walk the whole property to find active mounds and the satellite colonies around them, treat each mound directly, and lay a barrier treatment around the lawn edges and foundation so new colonies have a harder time settling in. We also point out the spots in the yard where mounds keep coming back.
Ants in vacation rentals between guest stays
Grand Strand vacation rentals and beach houses see a steady stream of guests, groceries, and takeout, and ants follow the crumbs and spilled drinks left behind. A trail across a rental kitchen counter or a fire ant mound next to the pool deck is the kind of thing that ends up in a guest review, so owners and property managers want it handled before the next check-in.
We work with property managers and owners to schedule treatments around bookings, treating inside where ants are trailing and around the outside where they are getting in. Our mobile crews cover rentals from North Myrtle Beach and Little River down through Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, and Garden City, so a manager with units up and down the coast can use one company for all of them.

Do you treat fire ants in Carolina Forest and North Myrtle Beach?

Carolina Forest sits on cleared timberland, so fire ant mounds are common in its newer yards. Call (843) 340-7981 for a free inspection.
Can you treat ants at a Myrtle Beach vacation rental without disrupting bookings?
Yes. We work with owners and property managers to schedule ant treatments around guest stays, treating the trails indoors and the entry points and mounds outside so the unit is ready for the next check-in.
How much does ant control cost in the Carolinas?
Ant control, fire ants included, is covered by the 3 Zone Protection Plan, $269 to $299 initial and $45 to $60 a month depending on your home's square footage. You also get free call-backs between scheduled visits.
Why can't I get rid of ants with store-bought spray?
Ants multiply faster than you can kill them with over-the-counter products. While you may kill visible ants, many more are hatching in the colony. Professional treatment targets the source of the infestation, not just the ants you see.
Are fire ants dangerous to pets and children?
Yes. Fire ants deliver painful stings that can cause allergic reactions in both pets and children. Diamond Pest Pro treats fire ant mounds with pet-friendly, EPA-approved products to keep your yard safe.
How do I know if I have carpenter ants?
Carpenter ants are larger than most ant species and leave small piles of wood shavings near walls, windowsills, or baseboards. Unlike termites, they do not eat wood but tunnel through it to build nests. Our technicians can identify the species and recommend targeted treatment.
How long does professional ant treatment take to work?
Most ant treatments show significant results within a few days. Our trained exterminator can resolve your ant problem in a short period of time, and we back our work with a satisfaction guarantee.
Does Diamond Pest Pro treat ant infestations in both homes and businesses?
Yes. We provide ant control for residential and commercial properties throughout New Hanover, Brunswick, Pender, Onslow, Jones, Horry, Georgetown, Charleston, Dorchester, and Berkeley Counties in North and South Carolina.
What types of ants does Diamond Pest Pro treat?
We treat all common ant species found in the Carolinas, including fire ants, sugar ants, carpenter ants, pavement ants, and odorous house ants.
