Death to Fire Ants

There are insects that can be allowed to remain on your property, but fire ants are not one of them. When they establish their colony on your land you are looking at potentially 500,000 of them up to 25 feet beneath the surface.

How can one queen produce that many ants? Well, she can live up to seven years and produce as many as 800 eggs every single day during that lifetime. When she mates, in the air, she is infused with everything she needs to keep producing until the day she dies.

Her worker ants live a much shorter lifetime. She must consistently produce their replacements in order to keep her colony functioning at optimum levels. So the only way to end a colony is to take out the queen. That is what Fire Ant Specialists’ bait does.

The bait entices the workers to bring it back to their queen. Because it also includes a slow acting poison, the workers have enough time to deliver the bait directly to the queen and then die. The queen is made sterile as soon as she ingests the bait. No more eggs means no more worker replacements. The colony dies off and your land is free to safely roam again!

Can’t I Do it Myself?

There are a lot of things you can DIY. Fire ant extinguishing is not one of those. This is because the quality of the products you can purchase in a box store will only do surface level damage.

Most things marketed as bait are really just kill on contact chemicals. They never make it deep inside the mound because they kill those on top almost instantly. Taking out 20,000 ants may seem like it’s a big deal, but when the queen is deep below the surface making more it’s really just a waste.

Burning them out and drowning them out has the same kind of impact. Yes, it may get into the nest a little bit but remember, that can be 25 feet deep! This is not to mention the fact that playing with fire is not safe.

We understand that it may be tempting to try to avenge yourself on the ants, especially if they have caused pain and suffering to someone or something you love. However, it is wisest to seek the assistance of the experts if you really want to be set free from the impact of red imported fire ants.
