Red Imported Fire Ants (RIFA) sneaked their way into the US through the Port of Mobile in Alabama nearly 100 years ago. In the time since, they have established their presence throughout the southern states, especially the Southeast. Their success can largely be attributed to the lack of natural competition as well as their innate aggressiveness in terms of colony defense and colony propagation.
In coordination with our sister companies, Fire Ant Control, LLC, is able to treat 1,000 acres every day and serve the entire fire ant quarantined area. If you’re fighting these pernicious pests, call on us to help prevent the injury and physical damage their presence can create.
Fire ants are unique in many ways— they defend the colony fiercely, attacking as a group at the slightest disruption. The venom they inject when attacking is also unique to the species and creates a painful, red blister with a hard, white center that burns, itches, and hurts. The wound will linger for a week and can become infected. For a small portion of the population, allergies occur—sometimes anaphylactic in nature.
Physical damage from fire ants is expensive and widespread. From landscaping damage to destroyed home foundations, wiring, HVAC systems, and more, the damage will mount and become incredibly costly without intervention.
Fire Ant Control, LLC, has a reputation for professionalism and effectiveness for a reason. We have proven our ability to successfully apply granular bait in a way to maximize the effect. Following your first treatment, wait one fire ant life cycle to enjoy 85% freedom from fire ants, and as long as you continue with retreatment every four months, the area will be well-protected from fire ant infestation.
About Fire Ants
Defeating an enemy requires that you know them well.
Visually, knowing if you have fire ants follows an inspection of the yard. Do you see loose mounds of soil with a flat top about the size of a dinner plate? An easy test is to place some greasy potato chips in the yard and wait a few minutes. If they’re covered pretty quickly, you have a pretty significant problem. Keep in mind that most of the fire ant activity on your property will occur well below ground within intricate networks of tunnels that constantly expand.
A single acre of land can hold up to 40 million fire ants when the colony has multiple queens, which is a fairly common occurrence. Don’t wait for the attack to happen; an innocent trip to the mailbox can become a nightmare. Any disturbance will instigate a swarm of fire ants to surge forth and attack—climbing upward, biting down, holding on, and stinging repeatedly. They will keep stinging until removed.
If you are attacked, clean the area with alcohol or soap and water. For itchiness, redness, or localized swelling, take an antihistamine or use hydrocortisone cream. Should an anaphylactic reaction occur, seek medical help immediately!
