News flash - the Texas Department of Agriculture has added 28 counties in West Texas to their official list of areas of Fire Ant infestation and, consequently, to the list of Fire Ant Quarantine areas. By my count, that makes 190 of the State’s 252 counties where commerce is affected.
Movement of hay and nursery/floral commodities from the quarantine area into a non-quarantine area will be disrupted as businesses attempt to jump through the Agriculture Department’s inspection hoop to distribute their products.
Those of us within the quarantine area are free to swap our ant-laden commodities at will, but you may feel compelled to do your part to lessen the agony from this stinging nuisance insect by treating your property for Fire Ants now.
Better yet, help organize your community or neighborhood to have a Fire Ant Eradication Week where all residents are to do something to rid their surroundings of this dreaded ant. Please contact JNJ Pest Control and Grounds Care for ways to accomplish either approach.
