Spectracide One-Shot Fire Ant Killer, Kills The Queen And Colony, 1.5 Lb

Spectracide One-Shot Fire Ant Killer controls fire ants up to 3 months with one application – and prevent new mounds from forming. The active ingredient kills worker ants slowly so they have time to take the bait back to the queen and kill the colony. This product is a bait, so you will initially see more ants. Decreased ant activity will be observed as soon as 24 hours after bait placement, and fire ant control will occur in as little as 48 hours after application. Use this convenient shaker canister for broadcast or mound treatment – treats 3,000 square feet for broadcast treatment. Apply in early spring or summer at the first sign of fire ant activity, then again the fall to reduce the number of ants that return next spring. For best results, apply Spectracide One-Shot Fire Ant Killer in morning or evening hours. At these times, fire ants are actively foraging. Avoid watering or mowing the treated area for 24 hours after application to allow ants time to forage the bait and take it to the mound.
