What's this?

I recommend that you do fire ant dust and prevention in the yard

I find that the dust is far superior in killing them than the granuals. However, if you don't put down a layer first on the yard, they will move around on you. Prevent in the yard dust the mound.

Amdro is the brand I like too, but Terro and others will work. Key is to use the dust on the mound IMO

So he should dust the site from orbit, as it's the only way to be sure. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 09/18/2018 11:39AM

Those are fire ants, I use ortho max granules, kills the mound in hours -- fordham 09/18/2018 10:46AM

Dang. So I’m guessing this method doesn’t get the Queen ant, no? -- YardBird 09/18/2018 11:12AM
