Need to Knows

Fire ants are particularly fond of open spaces with lots of sun exposure. However, they will also make their nests in hay bales, under foundations, inside wiring harnesses, etc. Any place they can find that is warm and humid works for them.

While you might find their mounds unsightly and annoying, those nests are far more dangerous. Fire ant stings have even been fatal for some people who find themselves in an allergic situation. And, when disturbed, these ants will attack en masse. 

The queen is the main issue. This is because she is capable, at maturity, of producing 800 eggs a day! And since ants don’t typically live longer than five weeks, this is how they stay so extraordinarily populated. Did you know there are 100,000-500,000 ants per colony?

So, if you want to take out a colony… you need to take out the queen.

Choose Fire Ant Specialists

Other companies’ poisons and chemical applications are limited in their effectiveness. This is because the ants have become resistant to some, and they do not target the queen. 

Fire Ant Specialists uses a regulated and approved high-quality granular bait. It resembles food to the ants who are out foraging. They bring it back to their queen, and she eats it and is sterilized. This is a slow-release treatment, so it will last long enough to reach its target.

Our treatments are safe for animals and people, and we don’t have a “re-entry interval.” You can enter your property directly after we have treated it. 

For optimal results, we recommend reserving 2 to 3 treatments a year. This will allow for a 95% ant-free property. If the results are not obtained in the timeframe we discuss, we will spot-treat at no additional cost.

Together with our sister companies, we can treat up to 1000 acres daily. No job is too small or too big for us. We want to help you avoid the painful welts and other complications that come with the presence of fire ants on your property.
