Fire Ants Are No Joke
Of all known insects, ants are of the smallest. It is due to their small stature that they often go undetected. With fire ants and their painful bites, dismissing their presence is pretty difficult; especially if bitten. These little critters are recognized for their powerful bites that are said to resemble the same sensation as being burned by fire.
In Canada, these little pests have been slowly becoming more of an issue for many homeowners. When these insects are around your home, it is imperative that you have them removed as soon as possible. Otherwise, you and your family run the risk of being bitten by them. Once stung, adverse reactions can often transpire.
Bites Result In Severe Consequences and Reactions

Thus young children and pets are very much susceptible to their bites. Once their little jaws fasten onto your skin, a very painful sensation will follow. Irritation, and sores are often formed when they bite area is scratched or continuously irritated.
In severe situations, nausea, difficulty breathing, swelling and fatality are just some of the symptoms and consequences that can result.

Their Habitat Could Be Your Home
Fire ants can often be found nesting in cavities under ground, in piles of dirt, rotting trees and many other natural spaces. They much prefer moist climates as this provides ideal livability for them in comparison to drier climates. These insects are scavengers and will opt for littered crumbs and decaying insect and animals carcasses for nourishment.
However, when it comes to your home, they will also make their way into it especially if ideal conditions are available. This includes the abundance of food and an ideal climate. Due to their foraging nature, fire ants have a very flexible palette and will learn to adapt if necessary.
