Fire Ant Treatment in Alachua, FL

Getting fire ant treatment in Alachua, FL, is easier than ever thanks to Fire Ant Specialists. We’ve been treating the state of Florida since 1993. With over 30 years of fire ant battle experience, we feel like we’ve learned a thing or two.

Operating out of Ocala, we partner with other companies to cover up to 1,000 acres every day. The red imported fire ants we’re fighting have been part of our country—and our problem—since the 1930s. They arrived at the Port of Mobile but have happily made their way into Florida because its climate is most like their native tropical locale.

Our properties have been under attack by the red imported fire ant for nearly 100 years. It has taken us that long to develop a method that truly alleviates the issue for those who choose to employ it.

What’s the Method?

To best understand the method, you must first understand the situation.

The red imported fire ant can have colonies of up to 100,000 members. Their queens can lay up to 1,000 eggs every day, and she can live as long as seven years. That means one queen can produce more than 2.5 million ants.

If you choose to utilize a DIY method, you might take out several thousand of them—but when you see the real numbers, that seems like a futile plan. Thus, you need the method that Fire Ant Specialists employs.

We have a specially formulated bait. This bait entices the workers to deliver it to the queen. The chemical compounds that compose it make her sterile when ingested.

Sterilizing the queen gives the necessary time for the current ants to hatch and live out their lifespan. But then, she has no one to bring her food. She starves. All of them die, and your property is ant-free.

We can make these kinds of guarantees because we treat your entire property. We call it wall-to-wall. This way, we can ensure that we impact the depths and widths of whatever colony may be existing on your property.

If you only treated where you saw a mound, you’d be missing far too many.
