AMDRO Fire Ant Bait Granules, 2 Pound

This is the best Fire Ant poison that I have found. It is granular so it doesn't blow away in the wind and doesn't require being watered in. It works fast. This area the Fire Ants are very small, so following one back to a hive is not easy. I make it a lot easier by sprinkling a few grains in the direction that a Fire Ant is heading. The ant will carrying the granule back to the nest making it much easier to track. Then you just sprinkle about a tablespoon full around the outside of the nest and the ants form a conga line to grab a granule and take it back into the nest. Within 48 hours the nest is gone. I'm allergic to Fire Ants, so something this easy to use and effective is a God send.

Works well! Only thing that I have found to kill firearm mounds.

This actually works. Have used other fire ant treatments and they kill ants but a new mound pops up a couple of feet away from the old one. This actually killed the mound. I found this from other reviews. Very happy with the product.

Once you open the bottle, Amdro starts to go stale. After about a month, it's not as effective if at all. Try to use as much as possible when you first open the bottle because that's when it works best. Amdro should make little packets so we can use a packet today, another next month, another next year, etc. The way it is now, it's expensive because you only need a small amount to kill a couple of ant hills but you have to buy a whole bottle and end up throwing the majority away. Amdro does indeed work when used correctly.

Works really well

Im really not sure how this product doesn’t have exclusively 5 star reviews! I have 20 acres, and have treated about 30 massive red ant piles, some 4 feet wide! Within 24 hours the ants are completely dead. Only needed one treatment, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve first treated them, and they haven’t been reinhabited. It’s amazing and I highly recommend!I think the instructions say only 2 tbsp per mound but I did do a very generous shake on the piles since mine were so large, about 1/2 cup to a cup each pile.

Amdro is the best thing for fire ants. Also if you have mealybugs on your outdoor plants the mealybugs may be spread by the ants. Before you buy the extremely expensive mealybug soil drenches,, try treating the ants with Amdro. It worked for my plants.

This is my 2nd purchase (proactive for the upcoming season) and works better than those white powders you see all over! You don't have to use as much around a mound, the color blends in and within a few days the colony is done for. My neighbors ask me what I use, since my garden has been clear for almost a year now. Seems to work on other types of ants as well.
