Why Fire Ants Are More Than Just a Nuisance

Fire ants are one of Central Florida’s most aggressive and problematic pests. Known for their painful stings and invasive nature, these pests can pose serious risks to your family, pets, and property. Understanding the dangers they present and how to manage them effectively is key to keeping your yard safe and enjoyable.

Fire ants are easy to spot thanks to their large mounds, which are often found in sunny areas like lawns, gardens, and playgrounds. While their presence alone is frustrating, the real danger lies in their ability to sting. Fire ants deliver a venomous sting that causes intense burning and itching, and in some cases, it can trigger severe allergic reactions. Pets and children are especially vulnerable to these aggressive pests, making their control a top priority.
