AMDRO Fire Ant Killer

Unlike spot treatments that only target individual mounds, this is a broadcast application designed to cover your entire lawn. It works by baiting worker ants to carry the treatment back to the queen, which eliminates the entire colony rather than just the visible mound.

While the granules are designed for lawn application, you should always keep pets and children off the treated area until the product has been fully applied and the lawn has dried or the granules have settled according to the label instructions. Always read the specific safety precautions on the packaging before use.

No, you should not water the lawn immediately after application. The ants need to find the bait while it is dry and attractive, so watering can wash away the treatment or make it less appealing to the foraging ants.

You will typically see a reduction in fire ant activity within a few days, but it can take up to a week or two for the colony to be completely eliminated. Because the process relies on the ants bringing the bait back to the queen, patience is required for the full cycle to complete.

No, this product is formulated specifically for residential lawns and should not be applied to vegetable gardens or areas where edible crops are grown. Always check the label for specific application restrictions regarding food-producing plants.

One application is designed to last for an entire season. However, if you live in an area with extremely high ant pressure or heavy rainfall, you might need to monitor your lawn and reapply if new activity appears.
