About Food Sources
Fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) are attracted to a wide variety of food sources, including proteins, sugars, and greasy substances, making them a common nuisance in Middle Tennessee lawns around Columbia and Franklin. They forage aggressively, feeding on insects, plant material, and even small animals, which can lead to damage in gardens and outdoor spaces. Managing their food sources by keeping areas clean and free of debris helps reduce fire ant infestations.
