Plants versus Fire Ants

Gardening, a beloved pastime for many Floridians, is a source of joy and nourishment. However, the presence of fire ants can turn this bliss into a nightmare. These pests pose a significant threat to your plants, often destroying precious seedlings and plantings through their feeding and nesting activities.

In addition to killing your precious flowers or crops, fire ants will attack you or your workers while they take care of the plantings. Accidentally stepping into a mound, reaching into an area where the greenery is thick and the fire ants abound, or simply walking through a garden. In contrast, the fire ants are active, which will inevitably lead to injury from fire ant stings.

Fire Ant Specialists offer a safe solution to use around yourself, your plants, and your animals. Our team will consider your property, plan a solution, and implement it thoroughly and quickly. We will give you a time frame at the time of service, and you can rely on the treatment to work by the end of that period. If you are dissatisfied with the results by then, we will return and spot-treat the area of infestation for free. That is our guarantee to you.

Fire Ant Specialists provides precise wall-to-wall application rates without disrupting your day or damaging your property. Weekend services are available, and we aim to please with dedicated customer service.

Fire ants in your garden come from somewhere. Whether they traveled over from your lawn or your neighbor’s yard, within products purchased at the plant nursery, or flew over after mating to establish a new colony, fire ants will return without maintenance treatments. We urge clients to schedule service two to three times per year for maximum protection.

From home gardens to farms, plant and tree nurseries, commercial landscapes, cemeteries, parks, and beyond, if a property is in our service area, it probably has fire ants, and we can help. In Fire Ant Specialists, the state of Florida’s primary pest has met its match. Within a single life cycle, we will dispatch the colony.

We offer something other services don’t, and that is deep, effective, and long-lasting treatment. The poisons that other services use may satisfy with hundreds of dead fire ants on the surface, but the egg factory that is the queen will continue churning out new colonizers below ground. We will eliminate her in order to eliminate the colony as a whole.
