Fire Ant Control

Red Imported Fire Ant

 

The Red Imported Fire Ant is a native ant to Brazil. It was originally introduced into the United States through the port of Mobile. Since it's introduction it has become the dominant ant pest in the Southern U.S., comprising of about 80% of all the ant populations. This ants sting can be very painful as it has a similar protein venom which is also found in yellow jackets and paper wasps. This means that the more a person is stung, the more apt they are to develop an allergic reation.

Many people try and treat this ant themselves, normally by applying pesticides to the top of the ant mound. The problem with this method is that the actual ant colony can run deep underground. The top of the mound (like an iceberg) is where the ants incubate their eggs, larvae, and pupae. Depending on temperatures, the adult ants will move the young up and follow the sun when it's cool, or bring the young further down if it gets to hot. By only treating the mound, you are only destroying their nursery, NOT the entire colony. This is why you hear people say that they killed one mound, but two more popped up.
