The lack of conspicuous fire ant mounds may make you think your property hasn’t been infested or that the ants are under control. They are most likely there, so don’t be fooled. Learn how treatment by Fire Ant Specialists protects Florida homes from these destructive insects.
Signs of Fire Ant Infestation
- You may see flattened dome-shaped mounds of loose soil in your lawn, around rotten logs and trees, or under cement slabs and sidewalks, especially after heavy rain.
- Even if you accidentally disturb a mound, you may see many reddish-brown worker ants rise aggressively from beneath the mound and attack humans and animals standing nearby, first gripping the skin and then injecting a venom called Solenopsin into their victims.
- When stung or bitten, you will experience an intense burning sensation, and within 24 hours, a white fluid-filled pustule or blister will form at the sting site. This symptom is unique to the venom of red fire ants.
Control Fire Ants from the Inside Out
To eliminate a fire ant colony, the egg-producing queen has to be killed; in multi-queen colonies, all queens must be destroyed. If they are not killed, the colony will typically reestablish itself in another area nearby.
The proven fire ant treatment from Fire Ant Specialists focuses on sterilizing the queen with a strong, food-like granular bait that contains an insect growth regulator and kills the ant colonies from the inside out.
Worker ants will eat the bait and carry it down to the colony, causing the fire ants to die naturally. Extermination is not instantaneous, but once the queen has been sterilized, the colony will disappear within 5-8 weeks, and no new ants will be born.
There is no re-entry interval on private property, meaning that you, your family, your pets, and other animals can walk anywhere immediately after we have applied a treatment.
Fire ants fly, so they will eventually come back. Therefore, we recommend treating your property two or three times a year to prevent fire ant re-colonization. If you still have an infestation after allowing sufficient time for the product to work, we will retreat that area at no charge.
