FIRE ANT CONTROL

Fire Ant Control

Fire Ant Control Throughout Laredo, TX

Fire ants are one pest that you do not want to mess around with. They are well known for their aggression and will attempt to bite anyone who disturbs them. This bite is followed by a sting that inserts venom into your skin. A fire ant’s sting is a painful experience, and if they are not removed from your skin immediately, they may attempt to sting you repeatedly. These stings often leave uncomfortable welts and can cause more severe reactions to those who are sensitive to the venom.

What Attracts Fire Ants?

Fire ants are attracted to several environmental and food factors that facilitate their survival and growth. They are drawn to warm and sunny environments, making outdoor yards and gardens prime targets. Fire ants are also attracted to sources of food, particularly sugary substances and protein-rich foods, which can include food scraps, pet food, and even dead insects. Moisture is another significant attractant, leading fire ants to seek out water sources, particularly in dry conditions. These ants are also attracted to areas with loose soil, as it provides an ideal environment for building their nests or mounds.
