Fire Ants

Fire Ants are taking over The Triangle area! Here’s what you need to know: 

Habitat 

Fire Ants, like any other ant species, live in colonies. The colonies build large mounds, mostly near moist areas. You may have seen them in your yard! They look like big piles of loose dirt (see below). Fire Ants can survive in these mounds during mild winters. Fire Ants are mostly active during warmer weather, but that doesn’t mean you won’t see them in the colder months.

Sting 

You don’t want to poke at a Fire Ant mound. Doing so may result in a painful experience! Fire Ants work in large numbers and will attack if something (or someone) is disturbing their home or food source by stinging the attacker. A Fire Ant sting causes immense burning and itching sensations. The area stung may look like a rash. You can treat a Fire Ant sting with topical ointment, but these symptoms may last up to 2 weeks!
