The European fire ant has spread across Metro Vancouver, and plenty of Burnaby parks, lawns and gardens now have them. First found in the Lower Mainland around 2010, they’ve been a growing problem ever since.
They’re small and reddish brown, and they sting hard. Nests hold many queens and huge numbers of workers, packed into lawns, garden beds and under stones and landscape timbers. Step on a nest and you’ll get swarmed.
Pest Boss handles fire ant removal across Burnaby. European fire ants are tough to get rid of, so it takes a planned, repeated treatment.
Give Pest Boss a call if you’re seeing any of these:
- Painful stings while gardening or sitting on the lawn
- Lots of small reddish ants under pots, stones or boards
- Ants swarming out aggressively when the soil is disturbed
