We are moving, need to know what to expect upfront when we arrive.

They are in yards but if you keep yours with some type of ant removal/protector, you will be fine. I have not had them in 5 or 6 years, I use Scotts Fertilizer w/ FIRE ANT protection 3 to 4 times a year and NO worries. Still keep your eyes out for the mounding cause them little suckers hurt...And I would say definitely seasonal.
