Fire ants are making their way into Middle Tennessee.

While our neighbors to the south have been dealing with fire ants for years, these pests are a relatively new

problem for Tennesseans.

Fire ants are a major concern because their mounds look relatively harmless to those who are unfamiliar with

the mounds, and because large swarms of ants leave the mound if disturbed. These swarms scour the

immediate area looking for the intruder, and once found viciously

attack the intruder or anyone nearby.

Fire ant bites produce painful welps and may even result in death

especially for small children.

If you find fire ants in your yard:

             -Never leave children unattended near fire ant mounds.

             -Contact a reputable pest control company immediately!
