Amdro 12oz Ant Block

AMDRO Ant Block offers a highly effective, easy-to-use solution for managing ant infestations before they reach your home. This granular bait is specially designed for perimeter applications, creating a powerful barrier that kills entire ant colonies, including the queen, to prevent ants from entering your living space. 

With its slow-acting active ingredient, Hydramethylnon, AMDRO Ant Block ensures that ants carry the bait back to their nest, spreading it throughout the colony for comprehensive elimination. Ideal for both residential and outdoor areas, this product is a valuable tool for keeping your home pest-free.

Effective Colony Elimination for Long-Term Control

AMDRO Ant Block’s effectiveness lies in its ability to attract foraging ants, which carry the bait back to their colony. This slow-acting formula gives the worker ants time to distribute the bait throughout the colony, including to the queen. 

Within a few days, the entire ant population is eradicated, ensuring that ants you see, as well as those hidden within the nest, are completely eliminated. This method provides thorough, long-lasting control, eradicating entire colonies and preventing new infestations from forming.

Active Ingredient: Hydramethylnon

The active ingredient in AMDRO Ant Block, Hydramethylnon, is a potent insecticide that works gradually. This slow-action formula is specifically designed to allow worker ants to return to the colony with the bait, ensuring it spreads before taking effect. 

Once ingested, Hydramethylnon disrupts the ants’ metabolism, killing the queen and other colony members responsible for reproduction. This approach offers excellent, long-lasting control over fast-acting insecticides, which may only kill individual ants without reaching the colony at its source.

Easy and Convenient Application for Homeowners

AMDRO Ant Block is incredibly simple to apply, requiring no additional tools, equipment, or mixing. The product’s granular form allows for precise distribution around the perimeter of your home, ensuring a continuous barrier that stops ants in their tracks. Here’s a step-by-step guide to applying AMDRO Ant Block:

1. Identify Treatment Areas: Determine the perimeter area around your home or other structures that need treatment. Typically, a 1-2 foot wide band around foundations is effective for establishing a solid barrier.
2. Apply the Granules: Evenly sprinkle the AMDRO Ant Block granules in a continuous band around the perimeter. Focus on areas where ants are likely to forage, such as along paths, near doors, and around windows. For best results, apply the granules when the ground is dry, and ants are actively foraging.
3. Reapply as Needed: Reapply every three months, or sooner if there is renewed ant activity. If heavy rain occurs shortly after application, consider reapplying to maintain the barrier.
4. Monitor Ant Activity: After application, monitor the area for a noticeable reduction in ant activity. Colony elimination should be evident within a few days, with complete control achieved shortly thereafter.

Long-Lasting Protection for Up to Three Months

One of AMDRO Ant Block’s standout benefits is its long-lasting effect. A single application can provide up to three months of protection, keeping your home free from ants over an extended period. The granules are rain-resistant, ensuring they remain effective even after exposure to the elements. This durability is particularly advantageous for outdoor applications, where environmental factors can often degrade pest control products.

For homeowners looking to reduce maintenance, AMDRO Ant Block’s long-lasting control is an ideal feature, offering protection against ant invasions without the need for frequent reapplications.

Broad-Spectrum Control for Various Ant Species

AMDRO Ant Block is effective against a wide variety of ant species, making it versatile for use in different environments. This includes some of the most common types of ants found near homes, such as Argentine ants, carpenter ants, and fire ants. With its broad-spectrum control, AMDRO Ant Block is a valuable tool for managing ant infestations across different regions and climates, making it suitable for any home with an ant problem.

Perimeter Protection to Prevent Indoor Infestations

AMDRO Ant Block is specifically formulated for perimeter treatment, allowing you to create a defensive barrier around your home. By applying the granules around foundations and entry points, you can prevent ants from entering your living space.

This approach not only targets existing colonies but also serves as a preventative measure, keeping future infestations at bay. Perimeter protection is particularly effective for outdoor structures like sheds, garages, and decks, which may also be vulnerable to ant activity.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

While AMDRO Ant Block is designed for outdoor use, following safety guidelines ensures effective and responsible application:

• Storage: Store in its original container in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is kept out of reach of children and pets and that the container is tightly sealed when not in use.
• Precautions: Avoid applying AMDRO Ant Block directly on edible plants or areas where food is prepared. Keep treated areas away from children and pets during application and immediately afterward.
• Environmental Considerations: Avoid applying AMDRO Ant Block near water sources or where it could enter water bodies, as it can pose a risk to aquatic life.
