fire ant bait

The Two-Step Method

What is the Two-Step Method?

The expert-recommended Two-Step Method to fire ant control is one of the best proven approaches to effectively manage fire ants, which involves broadcasting a bait over your entire yard and then treating individual mounds with granules.

  • Step 1: Broadcast AMDRO Kills Fire Ants Yard Treatment Bait over the entire yard to kill the colony in both the hidden and visible mounds, as well as for season long control.
  • Step 2: Target individual "problem" mounds with AMDRO Kills Fire Ants Fire Ant Bait.

Why is this method so effective?

Bait is considered the best method for killing ants since bait works even when you can't find the nest. Unlike contact pesticides, bait can wipe out the entire colony by destroying the queen. Worker ants find the bait and think it's food, so they bring it back to share with the queen and the rest of the colony. Once the queen and other ants eat it, the whole mound dies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does ant bait take to work?

Given that ant bait is intended to be disguised as food, it has a built-in delay that gives foraging ants time to take it back to the mound to share. Once the queen and other ants eat it, the whole mound dies. Typically, the bait will begin to kill the queen within one week of application and will kill the colony within two weeks of application.

Is AMDRO safe to use around livestock?

After applying AMDRO Kills Ants Fire Ant Yard Treatment Bait and AMDRO Fire Ant Bait we recommend that you do not graze or feed treated lawn or sod clippings to livestock.

IS AMDRO safe to use around pets?

While instructions vary by product, it is recommended that you do not apply the product while pets are in the treatment area. However, you can let your pets back onto treated areas once the dust has settled.

Why is fire ant bait better than a contact killer?

Bait is considered to be a more effective method of killing fire ants, as opposed to contact killers, because ants will share the bait with the queen and other ants, killing the entire colony. Once the queen and other ants eat it, the whole mound dies. Alternatively, contact killers will only kill fire ants that come into direct contact with the product.

Where are fire ants typically located?

The heaviest concentrations of fire ants are found in the South. However, fire ants can also be found in the following states: CA, NV, AZ, NM, TX, OK, MO, AR, LA, MS, TN, KY, GA, AL, FL, SC, NC and VA.

Do you have to water in the AMDRO Fire Ant Bait?

No, there is no need to water in the product. The product will actually go rancid when wet. Therefore, for best results we recommend not using AMDRO Fire Ant Bait during periods of rain.

Product Description

AMDRO Fire Ant Bait is the original fire ant killer. It kills visible and hidden fire ant mounds fast. Once you distribute a circle of bait around the mound, the worker fire ants carry it back to the colony to share it with the queen. After the queen eats it and dies, her colony dies with her. The granules are designed for individual mound treatment but can also be used for broadcast application in outdoor areas for total fire ant control. AMDRO Fire Ant Bait kills fire ants, bigheaded ants, and harvester ants.

5 Stars
This 💩 is great 🤌🏽👌🏾👍🏾
My backyard was under attack by multiple angry fire ants colonies the offspring of new queen that must off set up shop last summer. Unlike most fire ant colonies these ones had hidden colonies instead of mounds which made them harder to track. Found this stuff sprinkled it around the yard and the fire ants immediately started carrying it back to their colonies. They’re entire population was extinguished within a week 👍🏾 saved my backyard
