Background on these Burners
-
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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Updating my review from last year. Steven showed up today for my first treatment of the year. I have a large yard, and took the time to walk my property with me and address my areas of concern because I have a dog and ticks are bad here. He made the effort to pay special attention to those areas when treating. He is personable and has a caring personality! From booking my appointment, changing dates, to being notified before he arrived, this service is so easy! Last year we were finally able to go out without worrying about ticks or mosquitos, so I wanted to get a head start this year. This is my second treatment and both times, the techs, were extremely nice and friendly, and did a great job spraying my yard. Steven explained what he was doing to ensure coverage will get the mosquitos and ticks.

Mosquito Joe guys were wonderful! They walked the yard with me, we chatted about what can and can't be sprayed so I felt comfortable. We chose the essential oil treatment- they have options which I liked.

This is a well run, responsive, and highly effective business. We have enjoyed our Savannah style courtyard full of vegetation all summer mosquito free! One time, one phone call for a booster and it was done that same day! Obviously I’m a fan!

I was worried about mosquitoes for an event I was hosting. They were scheduled to come during the week of Hurricane Helene but it was impossible due to all the rain. They made us a priority and came on Saturday after the rain moved through to ensure we were mosquito free for our event! Excellent customer service.
FAQs about Fire Ants in Knoxville, TN
-
It’s a bit of a double whammy when you get bitten by a fire ant. First, there’s the pain of the initial bite. A burning sensation quickly follows that’s due to the venom in the sting. A single fire ant can deliver multiple stings.
