TERRO Fire Ant Bait - 2 lb Bag
Eliminate fire ant mounds effectively with TERRO® Fire Ant Bait. This 2 lb shaker bag provides an easy application for both direct mound treatment and broad yard coverage, capable of treating up to 30,000 sq ft. The fast-acting, odor-free granules are carried by ants back to the colony, targeting the queen and destroying the mound within 3 to 14 days. It also helps prevent new mounds from forming for up to two months. This bait is effective against Red Imported Fire Ants and Harvester Ants, and is best applied when ants are actively foraging, typically in the early morning or late evening.

What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this bait for its powerful, systemic eradication of entire fire ant colonies, often seeing mounds disappear within weeks. Reviewers value its ability to eliminate the queen, providing lasting relief where other methods failed. The 2 lb size offers excellent coverage for large properties. Success hinges on proper application: use the granular bait near active mounds during dry conditions when ants are actively foraging. While some users noted ants occasionally ignored the bait if competing food was present or conditions were wet, the consensus confirms that when accepted, this product delivers exceptional, deep colony control and significant satisfaction.
