Red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) are the worst fire ant species because they reproduce quickly, do extensive damage, and are more aggressive than other species.

Fire ants live in large underground nests that appear from the surface as mounds. These are found throughout Florida near trees and stumps, rotting logs, under sidewalks, and in open, moist areas such as lawns, golf courses, meadows, and other areas.

Here are some interesting facts about these terrible troublemakers:

• Fire ants are talented architects. They build nests outdoors in the soil and live beneath them in elaborate networks of underground colonies.
• The mounds are oval-shaped, average 10” tall, are about as wide as a dinner plate, have no visible openings, and often stretch up to 25 feet away from the mound.
• Fire ant colonies that have multiple queens may have up to 40 million ants.
• Even though fire ants hail from South America, they are incredibly cold-resilient and can survive in cold climates rather well. They can live in temperatures as low as 16 degrees F.
• Not even floods can drown or deter them. Fire ants latch onto each other to form a raft with the queen in the middle and float until they find dry land to re-establish a colony.
• Though fire ants primarily feed on seeds and young plants, they also eat small animals and birds.
• Fire ants are most often found outdoors but can enter buildings through HVAC systems and AC units.
• The painful, venomous sting of fire ants can injure both humans and animals. Much like a bee sting, it can be severe, even lethal.
