Fire Ant Page

Fire Ants are one of the most intrusive pest that we deal with here in Texas. Fire ants are found all over the state in yards, parks, homes and commercial buildings. we have received emergency calls to facilities that have been shut down due to fire ants entering electrical boxes and a/c units. This pest has a very high economic impact on all Texans.

Fire ants mainly live in mounds that have complex tunnel systems for their foraging activity. The worker ants can be identified by these characteristics: dark, vary in size, aggressive, small, and are capable of stinging.

Fire ants inflict a fiery sting, which can cause a small blister or pustule to form at the site of each sting after several hours. The blisters are prone to infection if the skin is broken. 

What should you do if you are stung by a fire ant:
  1. Apply something cold to the area to relieve the pain and swelling.
  2. Clean the area but do not burst the blister.
  3. In the event that you are allergic to insect bites or stings you should seek medical attention immediately. Fire ant stings can cause allergic reactions.
