About Fire

Aggressive and reddish-brown, fire ants build large, dome-shaped mounds in sunny areas such as lawns and gardens around Columbia and other Middle Tennessee locations. Their painful stings can cause irritation and allergic reactions, making them a serious concern for homeowners and pets. Fire ants damage turf by disturbing soil and attacking small animals and insects, requiring prompt control to protect your outdoor spaces.

Fire (Fire ants prefer) is a landscape pest commonly found in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Landscape Pests identification guide.

As lawn care and treatment specialists, we encounter Fire 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.
