Fire Ants

This year has been an unusual year for Fire Ants. The Fire Ant calls typically come in all spring, summer, and fall. Is your yard often covered in Fire Ant mounds but noticing less this year? So here is the scoop, the Fire Ants are not gone, they are still very much there. It has been unusually dry and hot this year. When temperatures are dry and hot the Fire Ants go deeper into the ground to reach cooler temperatures. With Fall approaching, temperatures cooling, and more rain in the forecast you will begin to see the mounds popping back out of the surface again. They will begin foraging more and you will notice increased activity.
