Fire Ants aren’t native to South Florida, but they’ve made themselves comfortable in almost every yard or grassy area. This aggressive ant species will attack anything that disturbs their colony. They make no distinction between a natural enemy or a family member, as they rush out, viciously biting and stinging the unsuspecting intruder. This makes proper fire ant control essential for all South Florida homes and properties. The species are invasive, displacing other native ant species and disrupting the environment. When it comes to fire ants, Florida homeowners must take action to protect themselves with professional pest control and lawn spraying. Hulett Environmental Services is here to provide effective fire ant yard control and help you develop a preventative lawn maintenance plan that controls these insect pests.

A Health Hazard To Be Avoided
A single attack by a red ant colony may result in dozens or even hundreds of stings in an extremely short period of time, and for some people who are allergic, the results from the stings can range from itchy rashes and local swelling and pain to paralysis or anaphylactic shock. In extremely rare cases, death has occurred from an extensive fire ant attack. Due to these hazards associated with the colonies, fire ant yard control is imperative. Hiring a professional lawn and pest control service such as Hulett will ensure that your family remains protected year-round from these stinging creatures.
Fire ant control is essential to prevent these potentially dangerous stings to humans and pets. Side effects from a fire ant sting can last for anywhere ranging from a few hours to several days. Often, within 24-hours of receiving a sting, a white pustule will appear at the site. When a person gets stung multiple times the reaction can be overwhelming and extremely painful.
Developing a comprehensive lawn care plan to eradicate and prevent colonies is important for the comfort of your family. The experts at Hulett Environmental Services will administer the best fire ant yard control in the business.
