Gives quick knockdown and kill of fire ant workers within hours after application. Entire colonies are
destroyed within 3 to 7 days. Initial treatment will control about 90% of active mounds. Treat new
mounds as they appear.
WHEN TO APPLY � For best results, apply in the early morning or late afternoon when ants are active.
Applications made during the hottest part of the day or during prolonged hot or dry conditions may be less
effective due to ants being deep within the nest. Treat mounds when soil temperatures are between 60°
to 80° F because that is the time of greatest foraging activity of the ants. Try not to disturb mounds while
treating. Do not apply during a heavy dew or just before a rain.
Individual Mound Treatment
Dry Treatment � Sprinkle 2 teaspoonfuls dry powder over each mound. DO NOT WATER IN. The fire
ant workers will track the powder deep into the mound where it also kills the fire ant queens, thereby
destroying the mound.
Note: This method of treatment is usually preferred over the drench treatment (see below) because it
does not disturb the mound. This is important because unaffected fire ants may relocate the mound to a
new area nearby if mound is disturbed. One pound applied as a dry powder treats up to 108 medium size
mounds.
Drench Treatment � Mix at the rate of 1 Tablespoon per 1 gallon of water. Use a sprinkling can and
gently apply one gallon of solution over each mound. One pound will treat approximately 80 medium-
sized mounds (1 to 2 ft. in diameter).
Red Harvester Ants (Red Ants) and Pavement Ants � Follow above directions for Individual Mound
Treatment. Treat all mounds and repeat if ants reappear.
