Fire Ant Treatment in The Villages, FL

If you have been looking for fire ant treatment / control in The Villages, FL, you can stop your search at Fire Ant Specialists. We have been fighting these invasive imported red fire ants since 1993, and our 30 years of experience in this field have given us confidence in our methods.

Perhaps you have attempted to battle these creatures using DIY methods. You probably don’t know that products labeled “baits” don’t actually attract the workers in a way that makes them believe they are food. And topical sprays only take out the ants that walk through them.

Understand that each ant colony has between 100,000-500,000 worker ants. There can also be multiple queens and hundreds of winged ants in residence. Since the queen can lay 800 eggs a day when she’s mature, repopulating those ants that walked through the poison is no sweat off her brow.

We have learned a good deal in this battle. This is why we employ a high-quality granular bait with a slow-release formula. It has been regulated and approved and is safe for animals and people, with no “re-entry interval” necessary. You can walk your property right after we treat it.

Treating Ants is Important

You may have always considered the imported red fire ants a nuisance. They definitely are, but they are also dangerous. Fire ant stings produce painful welts in most people, but they can be fatal for others. The same is probably true for your animals.

Fire ants are incredibly aggressive. When their mounds are disturbed, they pour out en masse and begin to attack. Since they can bite and sting repeatedly, this can be a serious matter for something small.

You may be tempted to use a hose to spray them off if you are attacked, but that’s not the best method. The water will cause them to sting and bite harder so as not to lose their grip. Instead, brush them off. This is true for an attack on a human or an animal.

Not only are they dangerous, they can be destructive as well. Living in Florida, you may have a well. Ants can set up house inside your pump’s wiring system and short it out. They can do the same in your HVAC. Or their tunnels can destabilize the foundations above them. Essentially, you don’t want fire ants on your property.
