About the Fire Ant Quarantine in Virginia

Virginia has enforced a quarantine to slow the spread of the invasive Red Imported Fire Ant (RIFA), confirmed in parts of central and southeastern Virginia. If your property is in a quarantined area, you are responsible for managing fire ant infestations.

Important facts about the RIFA quarantine:

Quarantine applies to dozens of Virginia counties and cities
Fire ant control is the property owner's responsibility
Movement of soil, sod, plants, mulch, and equipment is regulated
Certification is required to transport these items outside the zone
Untreated infestations can lead to fines and further spread

The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) requires treating items like soil and landscaping materials before moving them out of quarantined zones. Our pest control professionals at Cedar Pest Control of Richmond can help property owners stay compliant and protect nearby areas.

For more details, visit VDACS or check the quarantine map to see if your property is affected.

The Fire Ant Threat in Richmond: Why You Need Professional Help

Fire ants are aggressive and sting multiple times, injecting venom that causes painful, itchy welts. Their mounds often appear overnight and sit above large underground colonies with thousands of workers and multiple queens, making DIY removal difficult.

The risks of ignoring fire ant infestations include:

Rapid Spread: A single queen can lay hundreds of eggs each day, leading to rapid and widespread infestations.
Painful Stings: Fire ant stings pose serious threats to pets, wildlife, and even people.
Property Damage: Their mounds can damage lawns, disrupt pavement, and interfere with electrical systems.
Lifestyle Disruptions: Fire ants can turn outdoor activities into a stressful and unpleasant experience.

By addressing fire ant infestations with professional help from Cedar Pest Control of Richmond, you can protect your property, loved ones, and outdoor spaces from the harmful effects these pests bring.

We're Glad We Called Cedar Pest Control May 29, 2026

William saw the problem we were having and instantly knew it was caused by carpenter ants. When we realized we had an unknown pest, it was pretty overwhelming to figure out who to go with. But we're glad we called Cedar Pest Control. William was quick, super knowledgeable, and reassuring. Everyone we spoke to on the phone, leading up to this inspection, was also very kind.
