Fire Ant Nest Injection
When a fire ant colony is active on your property, you do not have weeks to wait for bait to work. Fire ant nest injection is a direct, fast-acting treatment that kills the queen and the colony at the source. Fire Ant Solutions delivers professional nest injection across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay, Toowoomba, and the wider South East Queensland region. Our technicians use APVMA approved products and proven injection technique to eliminate nests on residential, rural, and commercial properties.
What Is Fire Ant Nest Injection?
Nest injection is a direct treatment method where a registered insecticide is injected into the mound and the underground chambers of an active fire ant colony. The product moves through the tunnel network, reaches the queen, and destroys the colony from the inside.
Unlike broadcast bait, which can take weeks to work as foraging workers carry the bait back to the nest, nest injection acts on the colony immediately. The mound is treated on site. The workers, brood, and queen are killed inside the nest. The colony cannot recover.
This is the treatment method used when fire ants are visible, active, and need to be eliminated fast. It is the right choice for nests near homes, schools, playgrounds, livestock paddocks, switchgear, electrical infrastructure, and any other area where a stinging incident is unacceptable or where bait timelines are too slow.
