Savannah Fire Ant Control
Stop the March, Call Yates-Astro Termite & Pest Control!
Ants live in colonies where their numbers can reach well up into the hundreds of thousands or even millions. And while that makes any ant issue a headache to deal with, none can live up to the obnoxious and frustrating nature of fire ants. These creatures get their name from their two distinctive characteristics: their bright red color and their venomous bites that cause searing pain. Fire ants are found throughout warm weather climates in the American south, and that means they are not at all uncommon here in Coastal Georgia.
Yates-Astro Termite & Pest Control has extensive experience handling fire ant problems of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have found a colony somewhere on your property or you’re finding fire ants somewhere in your home, we can help you get rid of the problem and keep it away for good. Our methods focus on not only eliminating your current issue, but preventing it from returning with ongoing protection and pest barrier protection. Our philosophy of always doing right by our customers has guided and driven us since 1928, and today we’re proud to carry on that tradition.

Understanding Ant Behavior for Effective Control
To effectively combat ant infestations, it’s crucial to understand their behavior and habits. Ants are social insects that live in colonies, often establishing multiple nests and foraging for food in organized trails. By identifying the species of ants invading your space, our experts at Yates-Astro Termite & Pest Control can implement the most effective control strategies tailored to your specific situation.
Here are some key insights into ant behavior that can aid in prevention and control:
- Food Sources: Ants are attracted to food and sugary substances. Keeping your kitchen clean and sealing food containers can deter them from entering your home.
- Moisture: Many ant species thrive in moist environments. Fixing leaks and reducing humidity can help eliminate potential nesting sites.
- Trail Marking: Ants leave pheromone trails to communicate with colony members. Disrupting these trails with proper cleaning can help reduce their presence.
- Seasonal Activity: Ants are more active during warmer months. Being proactive with pest control before peak seasons can prevent infestations.
By partnering with Yates-Astro Termite & Pest Control, you gain access to expert knowledge and targeted treatments that address not just the symptoms but the root causes of ant infestations. Let us help you reclaim your space from unwanted pests!

Understanding Fire Ants
The key to stopping a fire ant problem is more than just eliminating current intruders—you also have to get rid of what drew them to your property in the first place. Fire ants seek resources like food, water, and shelter, and a colony can grow quickly when they find it.
Fire ants are attracted to all of the following:
- Garbage piles
- Rotting plant debris
- Wood piles
- Animal carcasses
Too many times the “do it yourself” method utilizes generalized preparations that are not totally effective on fire ants. Your Yates-Astro technician is trained to determine if your needs can be met with individual mound treatment or a broadcast plan. Safe for humans and pets, our fire ant control uses just the right amount of product that is specifically formulated to treat fire ants.

How do I know if I have a fire ant infestation?
The most common sign of a fire ant infestation is the presence of large, raised mounds in your yard. You may also notice aggressive ants that sting when disturbed, particularly near these mounds. Fire ants are reddish-brown and tend to build nests in sunny, open areas.
Are fire ants dangerous?
Yes, fire ants can be dangerous. Their sting is painful and can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Multiple stings can lead to more severe health issues, especially for young children, pets, or those who are allergic.
How can I prevent fire ants from nesting on my property?
To prevent fire ants, keep your lawn well-maintained, avoid leaving food or sugary drinks outside, and ensure there are no open water sources. Regularly inspect your yard for early signs of mounds, and seal cracks or gaps in your home’s foundation to reduce indoor entry points.
