About Single Queen Colony
A single queen colony of fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) typically features one dominant reproductive female responsible for egg-laying, leading to a highly organized and aggressive mound. These colonies pose a significant threat to lawns and gardens in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood, as their stings can cause painful reactions and damage to turf and ornamental plants. Effective management is essential to protect outdoor spaces and maintain lawn health.
