Have you tested your property
for Little Fire Ants?
Just because you haven’t seen Little Fire Ants (LFA) in your yard, it doesn’t mean they are not lurking about. LFA are so tiny they can go undetected on your property for years until their numbers are well established.
Testing is quick and easy! Surveys should be conducted every 4-6 months. The sooner you detect them, the easier and cheaper it will be to control them!
What’s included in the kit:
- Instructions on how to survey for LFA
- Self-addressed envelope to send your specimens
- 5 spray painted coffee stirrer sticks
- Ziploc bag
