With over 280 species worldwide, fire ants are a widespread problem throughout the United States, particularly in the South and Southwest. Business and homeowners typically come into contact with the more aggressive species, particularly Red imported fire ants, which were accidentally introduced to the United States in 1918. Because of its humid climate, Florida is a prime location for fire ants to breed. They often infest lawns and properties due to the excess moisture found in grassy areas, which is ideal for their breeding and living requirements.

This makes the pest control services of Tri-S particularly important for business and homeowners throughout the Tampa Bay area and beyond, including Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Largo, and Sarasota. In business since 1984, we have the experience with pest control to know that fire ants can be difficult to eliminate from your property once they have established themselves. An infestation of fire ants in your lawn or anywhere on your property can be not only painful, since their stings cause a burning sensation, but also dangerous and expensive. The insecticidal venom of their stings can cause death in some sensitive individuals, and The Food and Drug Administration estimates that $5 billion is spent each year on medical treatment, property damage, and infestation control. Fire ants can also wreak irreparable damage on the crops and livestock of agricultural centers.
