Do You Have Fire Ants?

Fire ants are extremely aggressive ants that are small and reddish-brown. They are not native to the United States, but their population has grown exponentially over the past several decades, and they can now be found in almost every area of the country.

Fire ants build dome-shaped mounds that look like loose dirt piles. They prefer to set up their nests in sunny, open areas like lawns, sidewalks, and driveways. While these mounds may seem harmless at first, once one has been disturbed, the ants will appear by the thousands to attack any threat that threatens to destroy their colony.

Fire Ants Can Threaten Your Home and Family

Fire ants are small, usually only 1/8-1/4 inch in length, but their bite is exceptionally strong and can cause significant harm to people and animals alike. Their stings are incredibly painful and can trigger serious allergic reactions that cause symptoms including nausea, dizziness, or even anaphylaxis.Fire ants usually attack in large numbers and can cover large areas of your body in their painful bites. Because their mounds aren't obvious, children, pets, and those who love spending time outside are especially at risk, as it is easy to disturb their homes without realizing it.

In addition to the threat they pose to people,fire ants can cause significant damage to local communities and ecosystems. As they invade and build their homes, they prey on local wildlife, compete with native insect species, push out native plants, and can cause significant damage to electrical wiring in homes and other buildings. They are an invasive species and threaten local habitats through predation on other species and destruction of community infrastructure. Plus, their remarkable adaptability and aggressive nesting make them especially challenging to manage. Luckily,Mosquito Squad's professionals are ready to tackle this problem for you!
