Know before you buy
The ants carry the bait back to the mound as food, which eventually reaches the queen. Once the queen is eliminated, the entire colony collapses, providing a more permanent solution than surface-level sprays.
Each application provides season-long control, effectively managing mounds for up to 90 days.
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use on lawns and around landscaped areas. However, avoid applying it directly to vegetable gardens or areas where food crops are grown.
No, you should apply the granules dry. It is best to avoid watering the area or applying the bait right before a heavy rain, as moisture can degrade the bait before the ants have a chance to collect it.
The shaker bottle is designed for easy, direct application. You should lightly sprinkle the granules around the perimeter of the mound rather than dumping the entire contents on top, as the ants need to be able to carry the bait inside.
