About Multiple Queen Colony
Multiple queen colonies in fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) result in larger, more aggressive infestations that are harder to control due to increased reproduction rates. These colonies can spread rapidly across lawns and landscapes in Middle Tennessee areas like Columbia and Franklin, causing painful stings and damaging turfgrass and garden plants. Effective management often requires targeted treatments to reduce the population and prevent further damage.
