How Can I Control Fire Ants?

Fire ants are small, reddish ants named for their sting, which burns like fire and causes small bumps wherever the insects have bitten. Proper lawn care often includes destroying the anthills, which can reach as high as 3 feet. Professional lawn treatments may use bait control, and then destroy individual anthill mounds.

Controlling Fire Ants is often a larger task than most homeowners can handle. This is especially true when the infestation is extensive.

Fire Ants are a pest problem that has become a part of life in many southern states. Complete eradication is impossible. The goal is to manage their activity and reduce the problems and annoyances associated with their foraging and nest-building.
