Fire Ant
Fire Ant Management
American Pest Control utilizes fire ant baiting technology to ensure the complete removal of fire ant colonies from around your home. Fire Ants are a common pest problem in Northeast Georgia, and the surrounding areas. These stinging pests get their name from the venom injected by a stinger that leaves a burning sensation followed by tiny, itching bites. Fire Ants are very aggressive and swarm over anything that disturbs their nests, which can be an unpleasant surprise if accidently stumbled upon. If you find a fire ant mound on your property do not disturb it and keep all children and pets a safe distance away from the mound. Call a American Pest Control to set up a fire ant removal and control program to properly treat the existing fire ant mounds and prevent future mounds from forming. The most common fire ant species seen in Northeast Georgia are the southern fire ant, the tropical fire ant and the red imported fire ant. Learn more about fire ants in our Pest Facts section.
