Best Fire Ant Treatment Solutions for Schools
School grounds and fire ants do not mix well. The risk of a severe allergic reaction is higher in young children who may have an undiagnosed sensitivity to fire ant venom. Fire ants prefer to nest in sunny areas, such as playgrounds. Following rainstorms, they often establish nests near vertical structures, like playground equipment. These factors make it vital for schools to secure the best fire ant treatment solutions, such as those offered by Fire Ant Control, LLC.
Fire ants are aggressive. They breed, defend, and forage aggressively, making them difficult to control through natural competition or conventional treatment methods. Effective management strategies are available from professionals at Fire Ant Control. We understand the problem and utilize products and techniques that are regulated and approved for use on all property types, as well as around people, animals, and vegetation.
Risks of School Grounds Infestations
Fire ants often build large colonies, both in size and population, which can quickly overtake school grounds. Red Imported Fire Ants (RIFAs), scientifically known as Solenopsis invicta, are particularly problematic because they lack natural competition as an invasive species.
On school grounds, fire ants are most commonly found near sidewalks, in open spaces, and near playground equipment, making it hazardous for children to play in areas where they should be able to be carefree. The smaller body size and inability to recognize the danger fire ants pose make the problem even worse.
Controlling Fire Ants on School Property
For a situation where fire ant control is as vital as it is on school property, choose methods that work. Fire Ant Control, LLC, offers effective management solutions. We rely on granular bait treatment that appeals to fire ants as food and effectively sterilizes the queen.
The Effectiveness of Fire Ant Control’s Bait Strategy
Targeted application of bait by our team is a proven treatment method. They work well for long-term effectiveness because the bait acts as an insect growth regulator, which prevents the queen from reproducing and replacing the colony’s workers as they die. Our methods provide up to 85% fire ant control within a single life cycle. With treatment every four months, your property will remain up to 99% fire ant-free, or we’ll return your money, guaranteed.
Managers of school grounds must remember that fire ants are mobile. The winged female and male fire ants will fly to reproduce upon maturation. After mating, males die shortly after, while fertilized females become queens and establish new colonies.
Fire ants also find transport in loads of landscaping materials, vegetables, and other products, as well as on traveling wildlife and pets.
The Importance of Monitoring and Maintenance
Beyond routine treatment for fire ants, school groundskeepers will need to regularly monitor the property for the presence of fire ants and maintain the area, keeping it free of debris and other elements that will attract fire ants.
