TERRO Fire Ant Killer

Simply sprinkle the recommended amount of granules directly over the mound and the surrounding area. For the best results, avoid disturbing the mound before application, as this can cause the ants to move the colony deeper underground.

This formula is specifically engineered to target fire ants. While it may affect other species, it is most effective when used for its intended purpose of eliminating fire ant colonies.

You should avoid applying these granules directly to vegetable plants or edible crops. It is best used on lawns, landscaped areas, and around the perimeter of your home where fire ants are active.

You should begin to see a reduction in ant activity shortly after application. However, complete elimination of the colony can take a few days depending on the size of the mound and environmental conditions.

Check the specific instructions on the label, but generally, light watering can help activate the treatment and move the granules into the soil where the ants are active. Avoid heavy watering that might wash the product away from the mound.
