Southern Fire Ants in New Mexico, Ant season is going to be bad.

The ants are going to be bad this year. Lets talk about a few of the building invading ants. We will start our ant series talking about the Southern Fire Ant. Fire ant mounds or nests may be constructed near homes, they may nest at the edge of walks, in cracks in the cement, or adjacent to steps. Inside homes, nests are built in the walls, in the vicinity of kitchens.They are mainly known for the painful sting. The ants forage at night, with mostly the smaller workers seeking out food. They eat sweets, oil, seeds, fat. A little bit of everything.

You may find these ants all over the kitchen or in the back yard. Control of these ants are done through baits. Since they have a variety of taste, using different baits is the key. We battled these ants in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales and even Santa Fe.
