Fire ants can be a serious problem when they establish in gardens, lawns and outdoor areas. If you're unsure whether the ants on your Canberra property are fire ants, our team can carry out a professional inspection and correct identification before recommending next steps.
We understand this is an important consideration for many households. Let our team know about any specific concerns for children, pets or sensitivities when you book your inspection, so we can tailor our recommendations accordingly.
Avoid disturbing the nest, as fire ants can deliver a painful sting when threatened. Keep children and pets away from the area and contact us for a professional inspection and treatment plan.
Fire ants are typically reddish-brown and build mound-shaped nests in soil, often in lawns, garden beds or near foundations. A painful, stinging bite after disturbing a nest is also a common sign. Because several ant species can look similar, professional identification is the most reliable way to confirm what you're dealing with.
Treatment starts with a professional inspection to confirm the infestation and locate nests, followed by a treatment plan tailored to your property. Contact us for a free quote and to discuss the right approach for your situation.
Pricing depends on factors such as the size of the infestation and your property. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your situation.
