Why Fire Ants Are a Serious Threat

Red imported fire ants (RIFA) thrive in Florida’s warm, humid climate, and they’re known for their aggressive behavior and extremely painful stings. They build large colonies with underground tunnels and are quick to swarm when their nest is disturbed. In some cases, multiple stings can trigger allergic reactions or medical emergencies, especially for children, pets, and those with sensitivities.

Fire ants:

• Build large, dome-shaped mounds in open areas
• Deliver painful, burning stings that can blister
• Damage lawns, landscaping, and electrical equipment
• Are highly territorial and hard to eliminate without professional help

Signs of a Fire Ant Infestation

If you’re seeing one or more of the following signs, you may have a fire ant problem:

• Raised mounds of loose soil, especially after rain
• Aggressive ants swarming when disturbed
• Painful stings, often in clusters
• Ant activity in outdoor electrical boxes or AC units

Our trained technicians will locate and identify fire ant colonies and determine the safest, most effective way to treat the infestation.
