A1 SUPERHEROES PEST SOLUTIONS

Fire Ants are not native to the United States and believed to have found their way here through shipping crates. Fire Ants are very good at establishing large nesting communities that can be as deep as 12 feet down. Each nest or community has different ants that play different roles. Each colony has at least one queen and the queen plays the most important role of all, reproducing.

 

A large colony can survive with only one queen and this is due to the queen being able to lay as many as 1000 eggs per day. The rest of the community work to keep the queen safe from harm and care for the eggs and larvae. The males mate with the queen and die immediately after. There are also soldiers and workers. The workers are the ones to keep the tunnels clean, gather food for the queen and the young and watch over the larvae. The soldiers are larger than the rest of the ants in the colony.

 

Fire Ants are one of the more aggressive species of ants. These ants have been known to attack and kill small animals. When a fire ant bites it is only to latch on to its victim in order to insert its stinger and inject its venom. Fire Ant stings can be very painful. People that are sensitive and allergic to them can end up in the emergency room for treatment. In some cases when there is a severe allergic reaction, death can occur.

 

Most of the time when someone has a fire ant infestation the fire ants are nesting in more than one location. Each colony is separate from the others and when performing pest control each colony has to be dealt with separately. There are different methods for getting rid of fire ants and if the proper methods of pest control are implemented they can be eradicated almost immediately and guaranteed for as long as 6 months.
