How Serious is it?

You see some fire ants, maybe you get stung. It seems like a minor irritation. You don’t take it seriously. A friend comes over and gets stung and goes into anaphylaxis because he/she is allergic to the fire ant’s toxins. Now you’re thinking it’s serious.

That’s because it is. People have actually died from fire ant stings. And the truth is, these ants don’t just sting once. They bite you so they can hold on to be able to sting repeatedly. They’re fierce and up to 500,000 of them can live within one colony.

The few trailing across your sidewalk are the least of your worries. When you understand how many of these tiny terrors exist beneath the surface, we are confident that you will want them gone. Fire Ant Specialists has the solutions you need.

What’s the Plan of Action?

When you notice that you have fire ants on your property give Fire Ant Specialists a call. We will gladly provide you with a free estimate. Our technicians will measure your space, corner to corner, end to end, and tell you what it will cost to treat that space.

We can also tell you what date you can expect to be set free from the ant invasion. If our dates are off, we will come and spot treat your property for free. That’s how serious we are about wanting to rid our state of these toxic invaders.

The proven granular bait we utilize will then be dispersed strategically to cover the entirety of your property. It has a slow release chemical that will kill the workers but it also has a sterilizing agent that will impact the queen.

We apply our proprietary granular bait across the entire site. Workers are attracted to it and carry it deep into the colony. A slow-acting ingredient reduces worker numbers, while a queen-targeting sterilizer stops egg production. With no replacements, workers die off, existing larvae die, and the queen eventually starves. The colony collapses.

This is what has to happen to set your property free of ants.

What about DIY?

We know how tempting it is to DIY something like this. But, be advised that the chemical compounds labeled baits are not. They are fast acting, kill on contact chemicals. That means you are only taking out the surface level ants. Nothing ever makes it to the queen, so she just keeps making replacements.

The other options, fire and boiling water, won’t do much better. Yes, you may get some beneath the surface, but you must understand that colonies can be 25 feet deep. You are definitely better off sticking to the experts for ant control.
