Best Fire Ant Killer for Florida Farms and Acreage

If you live on Florida farms and acreage, you will undoubtedly need to find the best fire ant killer. Fire Ant Specialists has exactly what you need. With more than thirty years of experience in this field,  we bring a lot to the table (or land, in this case).

We understand Florida farms and acreage exceptionally well because our home office is in Ocala. It was acreage, particularly properties owned by horse farmers, that solidified our focus on fire ant control.

We discovered that our horse-farming neighbors were being attacked without sufficient remedy. In many ways, that is where our story begins. It pushed us to find a real solution to a serious problem.

Ants on Acres

Multiple colonies don’t usually like to exist close to one another, it causes territorial fights. But when there are multiple acres to deal with,  it’s possible that more than one fire ant colony is on the property.

This is far more serious than many people realize. It is important to note that one colony of red imported fire ants can house up to 500,000 ants. That is a significant army of ants that bite and sting.

The great thing about Fire Ant Specialists is that, with the help of our sister companies, we can actively treat up to 1,000 acres a day. This makes us a go-to, not just for residential customers, but also farmers, ranchers, and even government entities.

If you have ants on your acres, we have the formula to get rid of them. Choosing to receive 2-3 treatments a year means we can guarantee that your property will be 99% ant-free. These are better statistics than you might realize.

Our Formula is Better

People with farms and acreage usually have animals of some kind, even if they are just pets. Our specially formulated bait granules are not dangerous to your animals or livestock. You and all your furry friends can reenter the property directly after we have treated it without any repercussions.

Our formula is better than anything calling itself “bait” that you might be able to acquire at your local hardware store or garden center. This is because their “bait” isn’t enticing enough to make it to the queen. Plus, their chemicals are so harsh, that an ant that touches them would die before ever making it to the queen’s chamber.

These DIY brands of fire ant control are kill-on-contact chemicals. They may reduce the appearance of ants for a short period of time because they only kill the ones walking on the surface. Ants have very sensitive smell receptors, and when they realize there’s a slaughter at an entrance, they just move the entrance.

You could spend months and months chasing their mounds all over your property.

Remember, their colonies and tunnels can be 25 feet underground. And even if you are killing 20,000 ants with every treatment, there are potentially still 480,000 more. Plus, the queen is steadily replenishing her troops by laying up to 800 eggs every day.

When you choose Fire Ant Specialists, you are allowing us to cover your entire property with our bait granules. These strategically manufactured granules entice worker ants to deliver them to the queen. Because they are slow-release they arrive at their destination. Once ingested, the queen becomes sterile.

A sterile queen can no longer replenish her troops. No one is left to care for the eggs or larvae, and she eventually starves. We can even tell you when to expect the colony’s demise, and if we are off a little on dates, we’ll spot-treat your land for free.
