Everglades City Fire Ant Control
Most places in Southwest Florida are affected by the non-native and invasive species of ant commonly known as the “fire ant”.
Fire ants are a topic of concern among government agencies in charge of land management, homeowners as well as land owners in the agricultural industry.
While it’s difficult to track the numbers, annual losses due to machinery damaged by colonies of fire ants are thought to be incredibly high in Florida.
Once the repairs, production times, and loss of man power due to transporting machinery to the repair location has been considered, you’ll most likely find that the cost of treatment is less than other alternatives.
Attempts to control the invasive fire ant population have been in action since the introduction of species in the early 1900’s. Florida was not the first to experience the destructive effects on homes, yards and grazing lands, but many of us are ready for a solution.
The growth of colonies on land where people and animals reside began as a nuisance, and has more recently become a financial concern.
