Wellington is no where near a typical Florida community. Try Palm Bay, Palm Coast or, best, Deltona.

Your best bet is to plant bahia, mow it no higher than 150 mm, leave the clippings well dispersed and forget about irrigation. Hire a high school kid for a weekend once a year to eviscerate the weeds; Do not use RoundUp. The County USDA agent is a good source for a fire ant poison recommendation (e. g., bifenthrin) for your location and season of application. If you have more than one mound and they are within 15 meters or so of each other, a good heaping shovel full from one mound dumped on another at full mound development may do the job within two weeks or so on the receiving mound.
