Fire Ant Control Services in Memphis, TN & Northern Mississippi

Fire ants are identified by their dull red body coloration and the stinger on their abdomen. Their name derives from the distinctive burning sensation accompanying a fire ant sting, caused by the venom. Fire ants are about 1/8″ to 1/4″ long, with a reddish-brown to reddish-black body coloration. These ants tend to live in large colonies; it is best to call a professional ants pest control service if you spot them in your home.

At Jamison Pest and Lawn, we understand the nuisance and potential danger posed by fire ants. Our service is designed to effectively eliminate these aggressive pests, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable outdoor environment for you and your family.

How Did You Get Fire Ants?

Fire ants prefer warm, sunny conditions. They build their mounds in dry fields and avoid shady areas such as woods. Typical mounds can grow up to 61 cm in diameter and 18 cm high — these colonies can contain several hundred thousand ants, including at least one queen. Red imported fire ants may also move into yards due to infested nursery plants or grass sod being used in the home's landscaping. For this reason, it's important to carefully inspect any new plants or grass sod before bringing them home from a nursery or lawn supply store.

Are Fire Ants Dangerous?

Fire Ants Are Tiny, But Their Sting Packs A Big Punch

When these insects attack, they first use their mandibles to clamp down on their victims and inject venom through a stinger. Ants typically act in large numbers so that multiple stings can occur. Fire ant stings cause red bumps and white pustules that lead to scarring. To avoid these pests, get a proper ants control service from Jamison.
