Fire Ants

Fire Ants: 

For homeowners, this ant is the most feared. No
one wants to be stung by a fire ant and have to deal with the painful
aftermath. 95% of a fire ant’s venom causes pain and pustules and 5% of the
venom is a protein that may cause severe allergic reaction to those who are
sensitive. It’s best to avoid and have a pest professional treat these fire ant
colonies as soon as they crop up in your yard.

Fire ant colonies can migrate into homes and other structures in search of food, water, and nesting sites. This takes place especially during periods of extreme outdoor heat, drought, or flooding rains. They can enter through any cracks and crevices.
