Fire Ant Control

Guaranteed effective service!

Fire ants are serious pests and are distinguished by their aggressive behavior, particularly if their nest/mound is disturbed. When this occurs numerous fire ants will quickly rush out of the mound and attack the intruder.

Fire ants are notorious for their painful, burning sting.  People unlucky enough to disturb a fire ant colony are seldom stung just once; dozens or even hundreds of stings can be inflicted in a very short time. Some people can have an allergic reaction to fire ant stings that range from rashes and swelling to paralysis or anaphylactic shock.

In addition to stinging humans, fire ants can sting pets, livestock, and wildlife. Crop losses are also reported due to fire ants feeding on seedlings and even citrus trees. They will also nest in A/C units and gas and water meter boxes; electrical equipment and utility housings may serve as fire ant nest sites, sometimes resulting in short circuits.

Due to the overly-aggressive nature of the fire ant and the potential health hazards associated with its sting, Hulett advises immediate pest control measures be taken if any fire ant infestation is discovered (especially if you have a confirmed allergy associated with these particular ants).

Hulett’s Fire Ant Control programs offer both baiting and granular product applications to eliminate the infesting pests.  If fire ants do somehow return, so does Hulett at no additional charge; Guaranteed!
