Amdro Fire Ant Bait

Worker ants mistake the granules for food and carry them back to the mound to feed the queen. Once the queen consumes the bait, the colony's reproductive cycle is disrupted, leading to the collapse of the entire nest rather than just killing the ants you see on the surface.

You can do both. For individual mounds, sprinkle the granules around the perimeter, but do not disturb the mound itself. For broader infestations, you can broadcast the granules across your entire lawn using a standard spreader.

Because the bait relies on worker ants transporting the granules to the queen, it is not an instant-kill product. You should typically see a significant reduction in ant activity within a week, with the full colony eliminated shortly after.

While the product is designed for residential landscapes, you should keep pets and children away from the treated area until the granules have settled into the soil or grass. Always read the label for specific safety precautions regarding application areas.

Yes, moisture can break down the granules and make them less attractive to the ants. It is best to apply the bait when the ground is dry and there is no rain forecasted for at least 24 hours.
