Fourth

About Fourth

These aggressive insects are reddish-brown and about 1/8 to 1/4 inch long, known for their painful stings and large, mounded nests in lawns and open areas. Fire ants damage turfgrass and pose a risk to children and pets, especially in Middle Tennessee lawns around Franklin and Brentwood. Effective control involves targeted treatments to eliminate colonies before they spread.

Fourth is a fire ant commonly found in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Fire Ants identification guide.

As lawn care and treatment specialists, we encounter Fourth regularly when servicing properties across the region. Proper identification is the first step toward effective pest management that protects both your turf and your landscape plantings.
