Since 1993, we’ve been focused on winning the war against the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta. They’ve been terrorizing the continental US, specifically the southeastern sections, since the 1930s. Facts about these tiny terrors will blow your mind.

Fire Ant Free Parks

Living in Florida means you’ve likely had a run-in with fire ants. They bite to anchor, then sting repeatedly, and if disturbed in a group, they’ll sting en masse.

A single colony can contain up to 500,000 ants and extend 25 feet below the surface. One mound can mean a half-million stinging invaders.

Parks should be places for relaxation, entertainment, and play. Fire ants undermine that purpose. Fire Ant Specialists can help ensure that your park visitors get the most out of their experience at your park.

Both your human and animal visitors are in danger when fire ants are present. This is because some people and pets are allergic to the toxins these creatures inject. People and animals have suffered anaphylaxis over a fire ant sting.

To prevent these kinds of scenarios it is important that you hire professionals. Fire Ant Specialists will give you a written estimate and a date with which to anticipate the eradication of your ant problem. If our dates are off, we will spot treat your park for free.

How to Accomplish it

The surest way to accomplish an ant-free park is by hiring experts in the field. Fire Ant Specialists have more than 30 years invested in taking out these tiny terrors. We’ve learned a few things and our proprietary bait is some of the best available.

Our bait combines a slow-acting toxicant with a queen-targeting sterilization component. Worker ants are attracted to the bait and carry it back to the colony. The slow-acting ingredient reduces the worker population, while the sterilizer prevents the queen from producing new eggs.

A sterile queen can no longer lay up to 800 eggs every day. Since she cannot continue to replace her worker ants, the colony begins to shrink. The eggs and larvae that were previously produced don’t have ants taking care of them, so they perish. With no workers to feed her, the queen also starves, and the colony collapses.

This is the most effective way to eliminate a fire ant colony.  The queen will never leave once she’s dug down into the ground. And, since she can live up to 7 years, taking her out is the key to ending the invasion. Most DIY treatments only kill surface workers and never reach the queen.

You can trust the expertise that Fire Ant Specialists has developed over the years. We want your park fire ant free too.
