Amdro Outdoor Fire Ant Killer Bait for Mounds and Lawns, 1 lb.

This is a BAIT and cannot be watered in! Also, this is VERY IMPORTANT: you CANNOT keep this product for too long once it's opened! It will go rancid and the ants WON'T EAT IT! Plan on buying it and using the entire container within a month, but no longer than that once the seal is broken! Use it when the weather is warm and dry (above 80 degrees F) when the workers are actively foraging. It's great for both individual mound treatments or broadcasting. I even apply a small amount next to foraging trails and they'll pick it up. Give it about 2 weeks and their numbers will diminish as they die off (workers need to be replaced about every 30 days.) You can actually go through the mound after a couple of weeks and find the bait granules still in the mound once they are dead. Don't bother the mounds when you apply it; trust me, they'll find the granules and pick them up! Safety: it's still an insecticide! It's a stomach poison that can only affect people or animals if they EAT IT. Don't leave big piles around curious dogs that might try to lap it up. Broadcasting is quite safe around pets because they cannot pick it up from the lawn. I've used it for YEARS and never had any issues. Cats seem to ignore it completely. This was my %231 go to for imported fire ants and I still use it at my home. It's very easy to use, but is NOT labeled for indoor use. Use another product inside if you're having an indoor issue.

This Fire Ant bait mound treatment has always worked for me. I have been using it for years to keep my family, including pets, safer. You need to be vigilant and treat as soon as you see new mounds, but it definitely works for us. The ants start carrying it inside right away. It is easy to use, you just shake bait around the mounds perimeter without the need to touch the bait. In my backyard, I like to put a stake by the treated areas so I can check the next day, due to my dog. I also use it in the front yard, driveway and the sidewalk without using a marker. There is no smell.
