  • Fire ants are a persistent problem in Knoxville and the surrounding areas, making outdoor activities a potential minefield of painful bites. They flourish in Knoxville, TN, given their preference for warm temperatures and penchant for basking in direct sunlight.

    These pests construct mounds in various soil types, with the mounds getting up to 18 inches tall in some cases. That’s not even the worst of it, though. The visible mound serves as only a fraction of the entire nest.

  • In Knoxville, infested areas with single queen colonies can harbor between 40 to 150 mounds per acre, housing up to 7 million ants. Meanwhile, areas with multiple queen colonies may see a staggering 200 mounds or more with a mind-boggling population of 40 million ants per acre.

    Some spaces fire ants tend to construct include:

    • Parks
    • Meadows
    • Cultivated fields
    • Lawns

  • Unsightly fire ant mounds can emerge quickly, especially after there’s been substantial rainfall. It’s imperative to take effective control measures. Protect your yard and family from these relentless fire ants with Mosquito Joe of Knoxville’s comprehensive fire ant control services.

    Service: Mosquito Control

    For 8 years we have been battling the mosquito. We have stayed in many beautiful evenings because of the pests. For the first time this year, after one application by Mosquito Joe, we have enjoyed every night this summer sitting on our deck. What a great service!

    It actually works!! I was skeptical at first. The mosquitoes are so bad here, but not since we've had this service. My neighbors also signed up because they noticed that we had no mosquitoes.
