Fire Ants/Quarantine for Landscaping Materials
The NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has expanded the state quarantine area for the imported fire ant to include most of Cary. Businesses and individuals in the quarantined areas need to obtain a certificate or permit to move certain materials such as sod, soil, hay and straw, nursery plants, logs, pulpwood and soil-moving equipment before they can be moved through or to non-quarantined areas. This certificate or permit can be obtained by contacting the NC Dept of Agriculture at 733-6932.

The imported fire ants are reddish to dark brown and measure from 1/8 inch to about 1/3 inch long. They construct their homes, called mounds, in the soil. If the mound is disturbed, ants swarm out and sting the intruder. Encounters with fire ants can be expected not only outdoors but indoors as well. Fire ants prefer oily and greasy foods and may travel indoors to find food. They also feed on other insects. The objective of treating fire ants is to kill the queen, because she is the only ant in the colony capable of laying eggs. Insecticide treatment is used to eliminate fire ants in areas where the risk to people is high and to reduce infestations to acceptable levels. Always follow label directions when using any insecticide. Public Works & Utilities, 469-4090
