Nurseries Fire Ant Control

The USDA requires all nursery stock to have an “ant stamp” when agricultural material is traveling out of state. Nurseries in many industries must document and prove they’ve treated for Fire Ants.

Luckily, nurseries and nursery owners love our Fire Ant service!

Fire Ants are harmful to nursery plants. 

  • Fire Ants can cause girdling and kill plants and trees…
  • Fire Ants tunnel into the base of young plant stalks and into potato tubers…
  • Fire Ants collect plant seeds and scatter them around their mounds, which affects plant distribution and abundance…
