AMDRO Fire Ant Killer

AMDRO works by using the ants' natural foraging behavior against them. Worker ants mistake the granules for food, carry them back to the mound, and feed them to the queen, which eliminates the source of the colony.

This product is specifically formulated for 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 ornamental plants.

While the bait begins working immediately as ants collect it, you typically won't see the colony collapse for a few days to a week. It takes time for the bait to be distributed throughout the mound and affect the queen.

It is best to keep children and pets off the treated area until the granules have settled into the grass and the application is complete. Always follow the specific safety precautions listed on the product packaging regarding re-entry times.

No, you should not water the lawn immediately after application. Moisture can cause the bait to degrade or lose its attractiveness to the ants, so it is best to apply it when the grass is dry and no rain is expected for at least 24 hours.

This product is designed to provide season-long control, meaning a single application is often sufficient for the season. However, if you notice new mound activity later in the year, you may need to spot-treat those specific areas.
