Fire Ant Control in Metro Atlanta & North Georgia
Aggressive stinging ants with raised dirt mounds in Georgia yards.
About Fire Ants in Georgia
Fire ants are an outdoor problem with real consequences: their stings are painful, can cause blisters, and some people react more strongly than others. Kids, pets and anyone mowing the lawn are most at risk.
Fire ant colonies spread by sending out new queens and by moving short distances, so a single mound can become several. Treating the mounds and the yard around them is more effective than treating one mound at a time.

How to Identify Fire Ants
Fire ants are small, reddish-brown ants, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch, and build loose, dome-shaped mounds of soil, often in open sunny areas, along sidewalks, and around trees and foundations. Mounds have no visible central opening. When disturbed, hundreds of ants swarm up and sting.
Signs You May Have Fire Ants
- Raised, dome-shaped dirt mounds in the lawn or garden beds
- Clusters of painful stings, often with white pustules, after yard work
- Mounds that appear after heavy rain or along sidewalks and driveways
- Ants swarming when the mound is disturbed
- Pets suddenly scratching or yelping after being outside
Why Fire Ants Are a Problem in Georgia
Georgia's warm climate and plentiful open lawn are ideal for fire ants. Heavy rain can float colonies up into higher ground, which is why mounds seem to appear overnight after storms.
