Imagine enjoying a peaceful day outside with your family, and it turning suddenly very bad. If you aren’t careful and you don’t realize you have a fire ant problem, you, your pets, or your family could end up being bitten by these harmful pests. In fact, fire ants are responsible for many emergency rooms visits each year. Fire ants will construct large mounds (ranging from 4 inches to 2 feet tall) around your yard and if disturbed by something stepping on it or poking it, they will become highly aggressive.
How Fire Ants Are Harmful
Once bitten, their venom releases toxins into the body that cause extreme itching and stinging. Unfortunately, it is rare to be bitten only once, as the ant’s defense tactic is to swarm, which usually results in numerous bites. It’s also possible for people with allergies to suffer more serious complications. The toxins from the bites may cause the person to go into anaphylactic shock. It’s particularly important for Texan homeowners to be aware of how dangerous fire ants can be because the state of Texas is seeing more fire ant populations than ever before.
