The sun is shining, the backyard chair is calling your name, and your cold drink is in hand. Just as you settle in, you start to feel a sharp pain, and a fiery sting shoots through your ankle. You look down to find a line of fire ants swarming your foot like it’s their new territory. These aggressive little insects aren’t just an itchy nuisance; they can cause painful stings, allergic reactions, and even damage your yard. If fire ants have made themselves at home in your Dallas property, it’s time to call in the professionals at Mosquito Squad of Dallas–Lake Highlands. We help minimize fire ant activity so you can get back to enjoying your outdoor space.
Dealing with Fire Ants in Dallas
In Dallas and much of Texas, the red fire ant is the main culprit behind the sudden stings and unsightly mounds. These ants thrive in the warm climate and are active from spring through fall, especially after rain or during a stretch of warm weather. They build their mounds in sunny, open areas like yards, garden beds, and even along sidewalks or driveways. You might not see them until you accidentally step too close. Aside from their painful stings, fire ants can damage grass, landscaping, and even electrical components around your home.
