Fire ants can quickly turn your yard into a dangerous place, making outdoor activities unpleasant and unsafe. These aggressive pests are known for their painful stings, rapid colony expansion, and ability to damage lawns, gardens, and even electrical equipment. If fire ants have invaded your property, Critter Stop’s Hackberry fire ant exterminator services offer professional removal and long-term prevention to keep your home and yard protected.
Fire ants are highly territorial and will aggressively defend their nests. Watch for these signs of an infestation:
✔ Visible Mounds – Dome-shaped nests in lawns, along sidewalks, and near building foundations.
✔ Aggressive Swarming – Fire ants attack in large numbers when their nests are disturbed.
✔ Painful, Burning Stings – Their venomous stings leave itchy welts and can cause severe allergic reactions.
✔ Increased Activity After Rain – Wet conditions often trigger fire ant colony expansion.
✔ Disrupted Soil & Tunnels – Loose dirt and disturbed patches near nests indicate underground tunnels.
Beyond their painful stings, fire ants present several dangers:
✔ Threat to Pets & Children – Their aggressive nature makes yards unsafe.
✔ Damage to Electrical Systems – Fire ants often invade HVAC units, electrical boxes, and wiring.
✔ Harm to Wildlife & Plants – They attack beneficial insects, small animals, and damage crops or gardens.
✔ Rapid Reproduction – A single fire ant queen can lay thousands of eggs, leading to large colonies in a short time.
Many homeowners attempt DIY solutions, but these often fail to provide lasting relief. Here’s why:
✔ Surface-Level Treatments Don’t Work – Store-bought insecticides only kill visible ants, not the colony beneath.
✔ Fire Ants Relocate Easily – When threatened, fire ants move their nests elsewhere on your property.
✔ Resistance to Common Pesticides – Many fire ant colonies have adapted to store-bought treatments.
✔ Reinfestation Is Inevitable – Without professional-grade prevention, new colonies will continue to form.
At Critter Stop, we take a comprehensive, multi-step approach to completely eliminate fire ants and prevent their return.
Our trained technicians conduct a detailed assessment to:
✔ Identify active fire ant mounds and hidden nesting sites.
✔ Pinpoint areas attracting fire ants, such as moisture-prone zones.
✔ Locate entry points where ants may be invading structures.
No two infestations are the same. We design a customized extermination strategy based on the colony’s size, location, and environmental conditions.
We use industry-leading treatments that:
✔ Target fire ants at all life stages—workers, larvae, and queens.
✔ Penetrate deep into nests for complete colony elimination.
✔ Provide long-term protection without harming beneficial insects.
