Fire Ant Treatments

  • Local Spot Treatment: Instantly eliminates fire ants that have entered your home using low-toxicity chemical pesticides. This method helps eradicate pheromone trails which help prevent ants from contaminating food sources.
  • Exterior Perimeter Treatment: Creates a protective barrier around your home or business. This treatment prevents fire ants from entering through small cracks and openings, ensuring they cannot breach the perimeter.
  • Fire Ant Bait Poisons: Effective for controlling infestations inside the home. Worker ants carry the poison back to the colony, causing it to collapse from within as the poison spreads and kills the entire colony.
  • Pesticide Mound Drenches: Ideal for visible fire ant mounds on your property. Liquid pesticide is poured directly into the mound, penetrating all underground passageways and exterminating the fire ants inside.
  • All-Natural / Organic Fire Ant Treatment: Eco-friendly treatment option that is safe for the environment, children, and pets. This natural method effectively controls fire ants without the use of synthetic chemicals.

Fire Ant Information

Identifying Fire Ants


In the United States, the red imported fire ant (RIFA) is the most common fire ant species, recognizable by its reddish-brown color and size ranging from 1/8 to 1/4 inches. Not all fire ants are red, however, as the black imported fire ant (BIFA) also invades homes and delivers painful stings.


Fire Ant Behavior


Fire ants favor hot and dry conditions like in the south. They construct mounds as entry and exit points for their underground tunnels. When disturbed, they aggressively swarm out to defend their colony while delivering painful stings. Fire ants are highly aggressive toward perceived threats, attacking other insects and small animals.


Fire Ant Colony Hierarchy


Fire ants are difficult to exterminate due to the large size and complexity of their colonies, which may have multiple queens.


  • Single-Queen Colonies: These colonies are easier to manage because worker ants forage only within the colony's territory. They can build 40-150 mounds per acre, housing up to 7 million fire ants.
  • Multi-Queen Colonies: These colonies can survive even if the queen and many worker ants are killed. They can construct over 200 mounds per acre, with up to 40 million fire ants, and spread rapidly as worker ants move freely between territories.


Are Fire Ants Dangerous?


Fire ants attack when threatened, gripping their prey with mandibles and injecting venom with their stingers. Fire ant stings are painful and can result in red bumps and white pustules that may scar. Disturbing a mound can lead to dozens or even hundreds of stings.

For individuals allergic to fire ant venom, stings can be life-threatening and cause symptoms like sweating, severe itching, and nausea. Immediate medical attention is crucial if an allergic reaction is suspected.


Preventing Fire Ants


To prevent fire ant infestations:


  • Keep Your Home Clean: Regularly sweep up crumbs and food residue, vacuum frequently, and clean up spills to avoid attracting ants.
  • Maintain Your Yard: Trim grass regularly, rake back mulch, and remove tree stumps or old wood to reduce fire ant habitats.
  • Seal Your Compost: Dispose of compost and garbage in sealed containers to prevent access.
  • Store Your Food Properly: Use sealed containers to store food and deter ants from entering your home.
  • Act Quickly: Contact a fire ant exterminator at the first sign of a mound or red ants on your property to prevent the colony from growing.

Fire Ant FAQs 

  • What is the best treatment for fire ants?

    The best treatment for fire ants typically involves a combination of baiting and mound drenching. Bait poisons are effective as worker ants carry the poison back to the colony, while mound drenching with pesticide ensures that all ants, including the queen, are killed.

  • How to keep fire ants away?

    To keep fire ants away, maintain a clean yard by regularly mowing the grass and removing debris, and seal any cracks or entry points in your home. Using natural repellents like diatomaceous earth or planting fire ant-repelling plants like mint can also be effective.

  • What do farmers use to kill fire ants?

    Farmers often use fire ant baits containing insect growth regulators or fast-acting insecticides that the ants carry back to the colony. They also apply mound drench treatments with liquid pesticides to directly target and kill the ants within their mounds.
