Description
For anyone, battling fire ants can be a nightmare. They can overtake a yard, sting children and pets and leave unsightly mounds. Amdro Fire Ant Killer for Mounds provides an easy and effective way to control fire ants. This item works directly on the fire ant mound. It will kill the queen and eventually destroy the colony. In no time, the yard can be ant-free, and pets and children can be out of danger in just one week.
What Is Amdro Fire Ant Killer for Mounds?
Amdro Fire Ant Killer for Mounds is a product that has been specifically designed to kill fire ant mounds. This product comes in a granular form that acts as bait. The ants are drawn to the bait, which once taken back to the colony kills the ants swiftly and takes the queen out as well. By killing the queen, Amdro kills the whole colony and the yard is pest-free.
How Amdro Works
Amdro Fire Ant Killer employs a bait product that allures worker ants. These worker ants bring the bait into the mound and feed the queen and other ants. The bait is toxic to ants when ingested; it basically kills the ants and the queen. In that they die because it’s the queen that actually reproduces. The product still works after the initial ants are dead by making sure the colony remains decimated.
Application Instructions
It’s easy to use Amdro Fire Ant Killer for Mounds. For best results, please follow these instructions:
- Product should be applied in early morning or late afternoon when fire ants are most active.
- Apply 2 to 5 level tablespoons of bait to each mound. And make sure to even it out around the entire mound, spreading it 1 to 3 feet from the center of the mound.
- If handling more than one mound or a larger area, spread 2 to 4 ounces of product per 5,000 square feet.
- After the product is used, there is no requirement to water in the treated area. But do not apply it when rain is anticipated in the next 24 hours.
Safety and Environmental Considerations
Amdro Fire Ant Killer is safe when used as directed, but just like any other insecticide, safety is a priority:
- Pet and Human Safety: Amdro's active ingredient, hydramethylnon, is relatively nontoxic to humans and pets when used as directed. It's not dangerous as long as user follow the directions, just make sure don't let pets or children near the area where it's applied until the product has dried and the ants have been taken care of.
- Avoid Using Near Water: It should not be used in a body of water, e.g., lake, or pond to prevent contamination.
- Not for Food Crops: Do not use Amdro Fire Ant Killer around vegetable gardens or other food crops.
