Understanding Fire Ants in Florida
The red imported fire ant (*Solenopsis invicta*) is the most common and problematic species found in Florida. Originally from South America, these ants have established themselves across the southeastern United States, thriving in warm, moist climates—conditions that Florida offers in abundance.
Fire ants build distinctive mound nests, often in open, sunny areas. The colonies can contain hundreds of thousands of ants and have multiple queens, making them resilient and difficult to eradicate. Beyond their nuisance, fire ants pose risks to humans, pets, and wildlife due to their venomous stings.
Why Annual Control of Fire Ants is Essential
Fire ant populations can rebound quickly if left unchecked. Annual or bi-annual control routines are essential because:
- Prevention of Infestation: Regular treatments keep fire ant populations low and manageable.
- Safety: Minimizing fire ant presence reduces the risk of stings to children, adults, and pets.
- Lawn Health: Fire ants can disrupt root systems and damage turfgrass, potentially harming your lawn’s health.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Preventative approaches are less expensive and less labor-intensive than addressing severe infestations.
