Are you in need of help with fire ants in Ovilla?

Most ants are annoying, but fire ants inspire fear, and for good reason. They are well known in Ovilla for their aggressiveness towards humans and their painful stings. In fact, they bite and sting at the same time! Fire ants are not named for their reddish coloring but for the burning agony caused by that one-two, bite-and-sting punch they deliver. They are also a species that causes widespread agricultural problems, spreads diseases and causes extensive structural damage.

Fire ants have come to this area in a couple of ways. Some came up from South America and others came on ships in packages. Fire ants are responsible for many doctor visits each year. Fire ants have hurt many animals including quail, deer and other small wildlife. Since fire ants live in the ground they are not seen until a rain comes and mounds appear in the grass.

Fire ants are omnivores that often invade Ovilla homes for shelter and food. Outside, their diet includes both vegetation and other insects. Inside your house, they will help themselves to your sweets, your meats and your plants with equal gusto. It is bad news to have this pest inside or even near your home. If you’ve seen them, it is wise to seek professional help immediately.

How Sureguard Eliminates Fire Ants

Fire Ants have been increasing over the past 40 years. In the late 1970’s to early 1980’s fire ants began coming up from central America and they came in on ships to the coastal ports of the United States. The extension service gave away fire ant bait so we could knock them out. What they did not realize is that the imported and domestic fire ants would cross breed making a much tougher adversary. Fire ants have continued to move north. Today we have several options in controlling fire ants.
