How to Identify if You Have Fire Ants
The first step to dealing with fire ants is knowing what to look for. Their nests are easy to spot once you know the signs. They build raised, dome-like mounds that can grow as tall as 18 inches.
Unlike other ant hills, these mounds don’t have a clear entrance hole on top. You’ll usually see them in bright, sunny spots like your yard, local parks, or open fields.
But be careful with these mounds! If you get too close or accidentally disturb one, worker ants will rush out in large numbers to protect their home.
FAQs
Where do fire ants usually live?
You’ll find these pests in bright, open spaces like yards, flower beds, playgrounds, and grassy areas where they create their raised mounds. They also like to build nests around building foundations, in plant containers, near electrical equipment, and anywhere the soil is damp or recently dug up.
Why are fire ants attracted to my yard?
Fire ants look for three main things: water, food, and sunny, warm spots. They also have a strange attraction to electricity, which puts your outdoor electrical boxes and equipment at risk.
How dangerous are fire ant bites?
Fire ant stings hurt and can lead to burning sensations, welts, and sometimes serious allergic reactions. Because they attack together, they’re especially risky for kids, pets, and anyone with allergies.
For most people, the pain and swelling stay in one area and go away after several days. But if you’re still hurting after that or have a bad reaction, get medical help right away.
Will fire ants destroy my home and yard?
Absolutely. Fire ants chew through wires in electrical boxes, AC units, and outdoor lights, causing expensive damage. They also ruin grass, kill plants, and dig tunnel networks that can weaken foundations and walkways.
Why Fire Ants Are a Serious Lawn Problem
Fire ants build massive colonies underground and form visible mounds that can take over your lawn. Disturbing a fire ant mound can trigger aggressive stings, and unlike other pests, fire ants sting multiple times. Their bites cause painful pustules and can even lead to allergic reactions in children, pets, and adults.
