Frequently Asked Questions About FIRE ANTS
Learn how to identify, prevent, and safely eliminate Fire Ants in your home.
What makes Fire Ants so dangerous?
Fire Ants are aggressive, fast-moving insects known for their painful stings. They attack in groups when disturbed, leaving behind itchy, burning welts. Their large outdoor mounds also pose a threat to kids, pets, and anyone spending time in the yard, which is why quick treatment is essential.
Where do Fire Ants build their nests around DFW homes?
Fire Ants prefer sunny, open areas like lawns, gardens, and along sidewalks or driveways. During dry or hot weather, they may move closer to buildings or inside electrical boxes for warmth and moisture. Over time, their colonies can grow to tens of thousands, spreading rapidly if left untreated.
