Fire Ant Pest Control

Fire ants are aggressive pests that can cause painful stings and damage to your property. If you notice fire ants in your yard or home, it’s essential to address the issue quickly to prevent infestations and protect your family and pets.

Our Process

When handling fire ant pest control in Brisbane and surrounding areas, our technicians begin with a detailed inspection to identify fire ant mounds and activity. This inspection helps us locate breeding sites and areas with high fire ant activity, allowing us to effectively target our pest control methods. We use a combination of treatments to eliminate fire ants at all stages of their life cycle, ensuring thorough and lasting control.

Our technicians are highly trained and have completed fire ant certification, ensuring they are equipped with the latest knowledge and techniques to manage fire ant infestations effectively.

Why Fire Ants are Considered Pests

Fire ants are not just a nuisance; they pose significant risks to humans, pets, and properties. Their stings can cause painful welts, allergic reactions, and even severe medical conditions in some cases. Fire ants can also damage plants, electrical equipment, and buildings, making effective control essential for safety and comfort.

Detecting Fire Ants

Fire ants leave behind several signs, including:

• Visible Mounds: Look for large, dome-shaped mounds in your yard, especially after rain.
• Aggressive Swarming: Fire ants will aggressively swarm and sting when their mound is disturbed.
• Stings: Painful, burning stings that can form pustules or blisters.
• Disruption of Outdoor Activities: Difficulty enjoying outdoor spaces due to the presence of fire ants.

Prevention Tips

Clients often ask how to prevent fire ant infestations. Here are some tips to help control fire ants before we conduct a treatment:

• Keep Lawns Mowed: Regularly mow your lawn and trim back vegetation to reduce fire ant nesting areas.
• Remove Yard Debris: Clear away leaf litter, wood piles, and other debris where fire ants might nest.
• Seal Entry Points: Check and seal cracks and crevices around your home to prevent ants from entering.
• Avoid Over-Watering: Fire ants are attracted to moist areas, so avoid over-watering your lawn and garden.
• Inspect Outdoor Furniture and Equipment: Regularly check outdoor furniture, grills, and other equipment for signs of fire ant activity.
