What we see here
Lehigh's large lots and open, sunny turf make it one of the heaviest fire ant areas we service, and mounds return quickly from adjoining vacant land.
Vacant lots next to occupied homes are a constant source of rodent and snake activity moving across the property line.
New construction going in across the area keeps disturbing soil, which pushes ants and roaches toward the nearest occupied structure.
