We all know about the fire ants and its problem. It is the basic need for us to protect our home from fire ants. Fire ants are small, only about 1/8″ to 1/4″ long. Variation in size is a distinguishing characteristic of imported fire ants. Many other ant species are uniform in size. All fire ant baits work very well when applied according to the label instructions. The key to using baits is patience. If you use a fresh bait product and apply it properly, a broadcast application should give 80% to 95% control. The way fire ant bait works depends on the active ingredient in the bait. Some bait contains an insecticide that kills all ants that ingest a sufficient dose, including the workers and the queen. Baits with an insect growth regulator or similar compound reduce the production of viable eggs. They do not kill the queen or the adult workers. They may prevent the immature fire ants from developing. Each fire ant stings and baits acts somewhat differently, so read the label to determine the right way to apply each product and how much product to use. So you need to take care of fire ants and protect it using proper guidance and learn how you can stop them and exterminate any that are infesting your land.
