Fire Ant Treatment in Astor Park, FL

Fire ant treatment in Astor Park, FL is just a phone call or click away. Fire Ant Specialists has over thirty years of experience in this field.

We focus on the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta. This is an enemy that has been warring with the southeastern United States for nearly 100 years.

Entering our continent via the Port of Mobile in the 1930s, this South American native quickly dispersed. Because they prefer humid and warm tropical climates, they have remained in the southernmost parts. That makes anywhere in Florida prime real estate for them.

Fire Ant Specialists operates out of Ocala. But with the help of our sister companies, we are able to treat up to 1,000 acres a day. We have Florida covered.

What’s the Big Deal?

If you have never encountered the red imported fire ant, you might be wondering why it seems so important to rid the country of them. These ants bite and sting. Most other varieties only do one or the other.

They will bite and sting, en masse, repeatedly when threatened or when wishing to take a larger entity down. Yes, they will take on animals that appear sick, weak, old, or young.

While most animals and people are not allergic to their toxin, Solenopsin, if vast quantities inject the toxin simultaneously, this could be life-threatening for anyone and anything.

If you own commercial property, this could be a serious legal issue. Medical bills and lawsuits are incredibly expensive—far more than it would cost you to treat your property.

We suggest two to three treatments a year to ensure that the ants stay dead and gone on your grounds.

What Is the Treatment Process?

When you contact Fire Ant Specialists for an estimate, we will meet you at your property. We will give you a wall-to-wall estimate. That means we will measure the entirety of your space and tell you how much it will cost to cover that with our product.

The estimate that you receive will tell you the date by which you should expect the results. Since we are targeting the queen to sterilize her, we are attempting to take out the colony in its entirety. This takes time.

We are confident in our products and procedures enough to tell you that if our dates are off, we will come back and spot treat your property at no additional fee. We want the ants gone as badly as you do.

Once treated, your property does not have to deal with re-entry times. Our products are safe enough for you and your animals to enter as soon as we have completed the application.

Because the bait we use is so small, animals will not be able to ingest enough to endanger them. But the worker ants will be enticed enough to bring it to the queen.
