Protect Your Yard from Fire Ants with Kumo Pest Control

Fire ants are an aggressive pest that can cause serious problems for homeowners, pets, and even your lawn. If you’ve noticed large ant mounds around your yard or experienced painful stings, it’s time to take action. At Kumo Pest Control, we specialize in effective fire ant treatments, and our Gold Program is designed to keep your property safe and pest-free year-round.

How to Identify Fire Ants

Fire ants have several distinct characteristics that make them easy to identify:

• Color: They are reddish-brown or black.
• Size: These ants range in size from 1/8 to 1/4 inch long.
• Behavior: Fire ants are highly aggressive and will swarm and sting if their nests are disturbed.
• Mounds: Fire ant mounds are dome-shaped and can appear anywhere in your yard, often in sunny, open areas. They may reach up to 18 inches in height.

If you see any of these signs in your yard, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with fire ants.

Why Fire Ants Are Troublesome

Fire ants are not just a nuisance; they pose real dangers. Here’s why fire ants are particularly troublesome for homeowners:

• Painful stings: Fire ants bite to latch on and sting multiple times, leaving painful, itchy welts. Health risks from their stings can lead to allergic reactions, and in some cases, severe reactions like anaphylaxis.
• Property Damage: Fire ants build large mounds in your lawn, which can damage the aesthetic appeal of your yard. Worse, they can infiltrate electrical systems, damaging equipment like air conditioning units and electrical boxes.
• Threat to Pets and Wildlife: Fire ant stings can be especially harmful to pets and small animals, causing severe pain and, in some cases, serious health issues.
• Fast Infestation Growth: Fire ant colonies grow rapidly, and once they establish a presence in your yard, they can be challenging to eliminate without professional help.
