Customer Reviews

This Stuff works the Best!
If you search on the internet you will see lots of methods and products to kill fire ants. Most are myths forget grits, hot water and gasoline. Also drilling holes in the mound to put in insecticides, it is a waste of time and hazard to your health as the ant will quickly come out and sting you. Most baits don't work well either. I got this product at a hardware store after trying several other well known and well advertised baits. This stuff knocked out the mounds and ants in less than 24 hours sometimes 48 hours at the most. I had about 12-20 mounds when I moved into my house. After two years of treating the mounds around my yard and then the neighborhood - our block was fire ant free. I am now working on 20 acres of pastures on a family farm that has about 250 mounds per acre so we can put live stock back on the pastures. Just a teaspoon of this kills the mound. The mounds and ants don't come back. Please realize it takes time and effort to track down the mounds and kill each one with this product. It is also great for getting them out of the house also. Also please read the exposure warnings and use with this product. I use to have it on a bag on my lawn mower to treat mounds as I found them.

Only ant killer to consider
After using Orthene for a couple of years with wonderful results, I thought I would try a less expensive but highly advertised product. It was only maybe 30% as effective as Orthene so I'll pay the extra $$ and get a reliable product that works 100%.

Very Effective!


I finally found a great rental villa/apartment after months of searching. Imagine my horror to discover (after moving in) that it had a Fire Ant infestation. It was terrible. They were everywhere. Even spraying insecticides inside and out would only abate the problem for a few days. THEY JUST KEPT COMING!!!

I did some research online and saw good reviews for this product and decided to give it a try. I used it outside around the Villa where I saw Ant trails, and honestly, the ant problem stopped almost immediately. It has been a month now and other than reapplying the product a day or two after heavy rains, the problem seems to be under control for now.

I can't say whether the Ants will eventually develop and immunity to the product but so far so good.

Believe me, it's worth a try!
