Evict Fire Ants from Your Property
The humidity, moisture, vegetation, and warmth of Southwest Florida speak to the needs of fire ants and encourage them to make their nests and thrive. Lawns, pastures, golfing greens, parks, schoolyards, and any other property is at risk for infestation. Protect your family, pets, and property by limiting the presence of fire ants.
Fire ants experience great success, even as a non-native species, because they are more aggressive than other competing ant species. They attack viciously with little reason and inject a special venom they alone have. This venom generates a blister-like injury that will linger for about a week in mild cases and a more serious allergic reaction in some cases.
As fire ants sting, they bite down and lock in, stinging repeatedly in a circle. They will not stop until physically forced to do so.
To treat fire ant injuries, clean the area quickly with soap and water or isopropyl alcohol. Follow up with a cold pack, anti-itch cream, and antihistamine if needed. If you notice any signs of anaphylaxis, like throat tightening, chest pains, or nausea, head to a doctor as quickly as possible.
Fire ants also cause property damage. Their nesting behaviors will destroy electric wiring, foundation slabs, sidewalks, trees, HVAC systems, and more. The longer fire ant colonies are allowed to grow without restriction, the more damage will occur. Call on Fire Ant Control, LLC, to handle the issue before the fire ants can cause significant and expensive damage.

Fire ants are mobile. They fly to mate, and afterward, the male fire ant dies, the female drops to the ground, and she then locates the ideal area to establish her kingdom. Fire ants also hitch rides in loads of sod, plants, and produce, as well as on animals as they pass through properties. Because of this degree of mobility, retreatment is essential to keeping your property protected. With treatment every four months, our money-back guarantee will be in force.
