ferti-lome Lb. Fire Ant Killer

It works! It took 72 hours and it killed 3 colony’s in my raised beds. Super happy I found something that is safe to use to kill these little boogers! It’s expensive, BUT it works without all the bad side effects! I don’t want poison in my foods. I feel safe using this! And the fire ants loved this stuff! Way to kill them safely!

I used this as directed and it has killed fire ant mounds every time within 4 days. Good stuff.

It works, but sometimes the ants act like they don’t want it. And you have to apply exactly like it says don’t disturb the ants. Mostly I think it makes them move. I do see them carrying it into their nest. But it is the best nontoxic choice I found. and you do have to reapply it. It does kill them. I’ve seen them on the outside of the mound after applying dead.

I have purchased this product for several years. It always had a screw-cap on the bag (similar to a milk carton). This one is just a zip-lock, which immediately separated from the bag. In addition, the product was completely ineffective! What the ant conspiracy is this? It has always worked great and very quickly (like 2-3 days) but this did NOTHING which makes me think it is a scammed product.

1. I only use this in my vegetable garden. Outside of my garden in use much more lethal and potent ant killers.2. The outcome of a single application around an infested area is one of two. Possibly the colony is destroyed in one application. Possibly the colony is devastated but moves 5 to 10 feet away in far less numbers. A second application might destroy or move them again, but no single colony has ever survived a third application.3. New Fire ants colonies always emerge. Unless I can spread an in-the-ground fire ant poison, which I can’t do in our overly large garden, new fire ants will always take up shop. It’s a constant war to move and push the ants back out of our garden. This bait is not intended as a long term approach to keep fire ants away, it’s designed to be a localized colony killer. New colonies will always move to nice soil, and especially water.Additionally, this works better when the temps are higher.For its designed purpose, this product is outstanding and I love to watch the little boogers carry this stuff into their colony with delight.I live in Texas. Fire ants are a way of life here ever since their imported infestation really grabbed root.

Was hoping this would work because we have a huge fire ant problem In the state in which I live. I've used it on several piles and they stay alive. Maybe it's not getting to the queen, but I use it as directed with no luck so far.

Took out a big mound of big, red fire ants in just a couple days using a small amount as directed. Also worked on the tiny, brown sugar ants in my kitchen. I had to grind it up in a powder for that as the granules are quite large for them.

After checking with local extension office, bought this product to use on fire ants in a vegetable garden. Worked very well. The ants were really bad and it took two treatments during the summer to get rid of them. Hoping they don't return again!
