Know before you buy
The granules are designed to attract worker ants, who mistake the bait for food. They carry the granules back into the mound, where it is shared with the rest of the colony, eventually reaching and killing the queen to stop the infestation at its source.
You can typically expect to see visible control of the mound within one week of application. Because the bait relies on the ants transporting it throughout the colony, patience is required for the full effect.
This formula is specifically engineered to target both imported and native fire ants. While it is highly effective for these species, it may not be the optimal solution for other types of household or garden ants.
For the best results, apply the bait when ants are actively foraging. If the ants are not active, they are less likely to find and transport the bait back to the queen.
Yes, this product is designed for direct mound treatment. Simply apply the granules around the perimeter of the visible mound according to the label instructions to ensure the worker ants encounter the bait.
