Atlanta Exterminators Team Pest USA Encourage Homeowners to Treat Yards for Fire Ants Before Spring

    ATLANTA, GA, May 24, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Atlanta exterminators Team Pest USA encourage Atlanta homeowners to treat their yards for fire ants before using them this spring. Fire ants present a major pest control Atlanta nuisance for families, and it can be a terrifying and painful experience to accidentally trip across a fire ant bed while enjoying your outdoor space.

"Fire ants are a huge Georgia pest control issue" says Brandon Pelfrey, owner of Team Pest USA. "We want to enjoy our yards, but fire ants can turn our backyards into metaphorical minefields. Before you start to use your yard this spring, we recommend having one of our Atlanta pest control experts inspect and treat your outdoor space for fire ants."

Fire ants are both a pest and a danger when their nest is disturbed. Any disturbance sends out a signal to the whole colony to protect the nest, and they swarm any intruder with a vengeance. They have stingers on their abdomens which are laced with a venom toxic enough to kill other insects and small animals. For humans, this venom sting translates to anything from a terrible burning sensation at the site of the sting to possible severe reactions in sensitive individuals.

Children, sensitive or allergic individuals, and pets are the most at danger if they stumble upon a fire ant bed. Because the colony's reaction is so instantaneous and vicious, it is difficult for children and pets especially to escape an encounter without excess stings.

In order to avoid getting stung, Atlanta fire ant control experts Team Pest USA recommend having your yard treated at least twice, once in spring and once in fall, to eradicate the fire ant population in your yard for that year. Frequent pest control in Atlanta helps to ensure that your family will be safe from the dangers fire ants pose.
