The Signs You Have Fire Ants
You can identify fire ants by looking for a mound of fluffy worked soil, which often appears a few days after heavy rainfall. Unlike most ant mounds, these mounds have no opening in the center. Red imported fire ants use underground tunnels to enter and exit the colony.
Fire ants are characterized by their dull red body coloration, which can range from reddish brown to reddish black. Perhaps the most important distinction between fire ants and other ants, is that fire ants have a stinger.

The Problems
With Fire Ants
Fire ants can pose significant health risks to both human beings and wildlife. A single ant can sting its target repeatedly, causing itchy, red welts. Those who are allergic to fire ant venom must seek prompt medical care if they experience an adverse reaction, particularly if they have multiple bites. Fire ants can swarm while attacking, making them a significant threat, even for those not allergic to their venom.
These pests can also cause environmental damage by displacing native ant species and reducing food sources for wildlife. Their mounds can cause damage to property. Furthermore, if their colony is disturbed, fire ants may come out in large numbers and attack aggressively.

Getting Rid of Fire Ants
There are some DIY steps that property owners can take. Pouring a boiling pot of hot water into the fire mound, after poking a hole in it can eliminate the next. But there is real risk to even basic steps like this. Our San Antonio fire ant control pros have the training and experience necessary to locate the nest, which may be buried deep into the ground. What’s more, eliminating the queen fire ant is essential to defeating the entire colony. The efforts taken to do this can trigger the swarm, which is why professionals, who know how to take the proper safety protocols, should be sought out.
