There is nothing quite as painful as a fire ant sting, and fire ants mounds in Florida are everywhere. Seemingly indestructible fire ant colonies can overwhelm even the most well kept yard. Fire ants, sometimes referred to as simply red ants, are stinging ants with over 280 species worldwide. The venom of a fire ant sting causes stinging and swells into a bump. This can cause much pain and irritation at times, especially when stung repeatedly by several at once. The bump often forms into a white pustule, which is at risk of becoming infected. The pustules are unattractive and uncomfortable while active and, if the bite sites become infected, can turn into scars. Fire ant actually only bite to grab hold and sting with their abdomen. The result is intense pain.
Getting rid of these little buggers can be a summer long project as most people simply kill off a large part of the colony only to have surviving fire ants start the process of rebuilding before you are back in the house. Florida Pest Control companies can help.
