Fire Ant Treatment for Schools in Florida

Schools in Florida are in need of fire ant treatment. Given the number of students with allergic reactions to things, it is definitely advisable to have any and all fire ant situations under control on your school campus.

Fire Ant Specialists and our sister companies, are here to help you ensure that your students are safe from the bite and sting of the invasive red imported fire ant. We have been battling this venomous culprit for over thirty years.

School playgrounds are a prime target for fire ants, which are drawn to the snack crumbs, sweet treats, and other gummy remainders left thereupon. And when somewhere looks like an excellent feeding area, a colony will certainly ensue.

Why Are Ants on Campus a Big Deal?

While most people will find the fire ant sting painful, and certainly an annoyance, not much else will transpire. However, there are individuals who can experience anaphylaxis after the sting of a fire ant. 

The toxic venom, Solenopsin, is injected at the moment of the sting. Most people will find that they develop a small pustule that will eventually rupture or go away of its own. As long as it is left alone it will heal without incident. 

For children, this can be an issue. And since we are talking about treating ants at schools, we are also talking about children. 

Children like to pick at their sores or scratch things that itch. They may not have learned the necessary self-control to allow natural healing to occur. This can cause other infections.

Obviously, we could go into a diatribe about all the potential awful things that could stem from one kid’s ant sting not being allowed to heal. But rather than tell you all the dangers, we would rather offer you solutions.

Fight Ants on Campus

Fighting the ants that show up on your campus is as simple as calling Fire Ant Specialists. No matter what size your facility spans, we have you covered. And, we have weekend hours available so that we can treat the property while school is not in session.

Our products are bait that entice the worker ants to bring them to the queen. Since the average queen can lay up to 1,000 eggs a day and live as long as seven years, she is the main target of our treatment efforts. 

This bait, once ingested by the queen, will render her sterile. No longer capable of replenishing the workers in her colony, the whole crew will die. This will leave your property free of their dangerous presence and provide your students with a safe place to enjoy the outdoors while on your campus.

We want your students to be protected from unwanted ant stings. 

We will provide you a timeframe guarantee and if for some reason that time frame isn’t met, we will spot-treat the property for free. Our word is our promise.
