Fire Ants Are Not A Friend

Fire Ants are No Joke
Don't step in their piles. It will hurt for days. In fact the video you saw when you came to the website is fire ants. Maybe that is why you are here.
If you have ever experienced the bites of the imported fire ant, you know what I am talking about. If you are NOT allergic, you will have welts at each bite spot for the better part of two weeks and the itch level is that of driving at mach two around the school drop off line. You get my point.
If you are allergic, well good luck. Seek medical attention.

fire ant mounds
Their mounds are easy to spot most of the time. They can build a mound that is 6 inches tall in a matter of hours, making them seem like they appeared instantly. You can spot treat them, and they will go away... but if you have, you also know they will pop up somewhere close in a couple of days. It's enough to make your head spin.
This is because their network of colonies sprawl across the ground underneath us, leaving us blind to their actual location. If you spot treat one mound, the queen redirects the colony to another safe location and they get to work.

How to Treat
The trick is to treat the entire premises evenly. You can use a product that last for about three months 4 times a year or hire a professional to apply a year long fire ant treatment that I have personally had clients say is magic. If you'd like more info, hit us up.
