Fighting the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, has been our passion for more than a quarter of a century. However, the battle has been raging for nearly 100 years.

Fire Ant History

The red imported fire ant arrived in the continental U.S. in the 1930s. It was a transplant from South America. Having hitched a ride on boats delivering goods, the Solenopsis invicta landed at the Port of Mobile.

Its native environment was one of the tropical kind, so it went in search of warm, humid locales. This is why the entirety of the southeastern United States has been under siege.

Florida has been particularly vulnerable, as our weather is the most favorable for them.

Fire Ant Severity

If you are thinking that tiny ants are no big deal, you need to understand fire ant severity. While most people are not allergic to them, they can be deadly.

Non-allergic people will experience a painful, itchy pustule that forms at the sting. Allergic people could go into anaphylaxis.

Even people who are healthy and not prone to allergic reactions could find themselves in dire straits should the ants choose to attack en masse. They are known to gang up and sting repeatedly. That much toxin could have serious consequences.

Apart from their bites and stings—of which they do both—these ants are destructive. Their tunnels can reach thirty feet below the surface. If that tunneling is done beneath structures, it weakens them and can cause them to fail.

Tiny ants can take out entire buildings over time. They can also destroy your well pumps and HVAC systems. The warmth and humidity within those spaces are enticing to them, but they will fry themselves in your electrical connections and short everything out.

Fire Ant Annihilation

Fire Ant Specialists knows that you want to annihilate the ants that have taken up residence in your Branford, FL location. But how do you do that?

While DIY methods might be tempting, we suggest you leave it to the experts. At Fire Ant Specialists, we use a specially formulated bait. Our granules are enticing enough for the workers to bring them to the queen. Once ingested, she becomes sterile.

A sterile queen cannot repopulate her colony. Our method guarantees that the entire colony dies. DIY methods generally only take out the top level of the colony—if they are even effective.
