If you have a horse farm in Central Florida, you need a plan to control fire ants. The experts at Fire Ant Specialists can deliver. From small lots to properties with thousands of acres, our guaranteed treatment service provides a safe, effective, and affordable solution.
When Environmental Specialists, Inc., now dba Fire Ant Specialists, started in 1993, no one had ever heard of “fire ant control.” Horse farmers in Ocala only knew that fire ants were a nuisance and a threat, but thought there was no way to get rid of them. That would change quickly, however, when one of our very first customers, a well-known farm manager in Marion County, took a chance on our services.
Today, 30 years later, we have become Florida’s largest and most successful fire ant control company.
The Damage
In humans, fire ant bites can produce a variety of reactions, from mild localized pain and swelling to severe and sometimes deadly anaphylactic shock. Fire ants and fire ant bites on horse farms and in pastures have been known to cause:
- Injury or death of livestock
- Death of unborn foals (if the mother is stung)
- Injury to penned or corralled animals
- Injury to old horses and those unable to move out of harm’s way
- Infested hay bales
- Injury to field workers
- Electrical and utility equipment damage
The mounds can damage pickups and ATVs and cause horses to fall and riders to take nasty spills.
Leave Treatment to the Professionals
Our bait is made with an insect growth regulator that sterilizes the queen and is approved for use around people, pets, and livestock on private and public land. It is superior to sprays and insecticides that kill only surface ants, are sometimes dangerous, and are very expensive.
Fire Ant Specialists’ potent fire ant killer is the best way to protect your livestock and property. The bait is horse-friendly and can be applied to pastures, rangeland, meadows, hay fields, lawns, landscape areas, corrals, and other animal-holding areas.
We treat up to 1,000 acres per day and guarantee to help protect your horse property and pastures from harmful fire ants.
