Fire ants are pretty clever when it comes to survival!
During heavy rain and rising water, fire ants can link their bodies together to form floating rafts, helping protect their queen, young and the rest of the colony until they reach safer ground.
With all the recent wet weather across Southeast Queensland, now is a great time to check your property for new fire ant nests or unusual activity.
Fire ants can establish new nests as conditions improve, so keep an eye out around lawns, gardens and other outdoor areas.
⚠️ If you suspect fire ant activity, avoid disturbing the nest and contact our experienced team at Checkmate Pest Control for advice & treatment options.
