Fire ants. They’re one part of Florida life no one wants to deal with, but you do have options. You don’t have to put up with their disgusting mounds or the potential of a sting any longer. These tips can help you get rid of them right now.
- Make Sure You’re Dealing with Fire Ants: One of the biggest problems for many people is a misidentification of the ants themselves. Working to treat fire ants when you’re actually dealing with something else entirely is a mistake, and a costly one in terms of time, progress, and money. Fire ants are a dull red color. They could look reddish brown or reddish black. They also have a stinger jutting out from their abdomen. They are protected by a hard exoskeleton, and they have six legs. If you’re not sure it’s a fire ant mound, leave it alone and contact a pest control professional immediately.
- Practice Good Lawn Care Techniques: While you can’t entirely prevent fire ants with a better approach to lawn care, you can lessen the likelihood that they’ll invade. Ask your lawn care service what they’re doing currently to ensure fire ants aren’t a problem for you.
