Fire Ant Control: How to Protect Your Property
Proudly Serving South Carolina | North Carolina | Georgia | Florida
With fire ants, it’s easy to worry about them taking over your lawn, or even your indoor space. These tiny terrors build large mounds that can damage your grass and garden. And worse, their painful stings can hurt you, your family, and your pets – often leaving behind painful, puffy red welts.
Many people try to get rid of fire ants on their own, using sprays, traps, or other non-chemical treatments. But these methods often don’t work well and can be dangerous if not used correctly (or they only work temporarily).
At Rocket Pest Control, we offer professional fire ant control services. Our expert team knows how to find and eliminate fire ant colonies safely and effectively. We use special treatments that target the whole colony, not just the ants you can see.
Know These Signs of Fire Ants
Remember, fire ants are especially aggressive compared to other ant species. Their colonies also grow quickly and can spread to neighboring yards (and indoors).
So how do you know if you have fire ants? Look out for these signs:
- Reddish-brown or coppery-brown ants
- Dome-shaped mounds in your yard (especially after rain)
- Ant trails or trains
Many homeowners in Southeastern United States try to ignore the problem, hoping it will go away. But you need to take action when you spot fire ants.

Why DIY Fire Ant Treatment Doesn’t Always Work
We’ve seen some folks try to deal with fire ants themselves. They might pour boiling water on mounds or use over-the-counter pesticides. These methods can be risky and often don’t solve the problem long-term.
DIY treatments typically only kill the ants you can see on the surface. The real problem lies underground, where the queen and most of the colony live.
Getting rid of fire ants for good isn’t easy to do yourself! These pests are tough and can quickly rebuild their colonies if not treated properly.
