### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good-bye fire ants..........!
*by A***D on April 4, 2026*

It works really well. Kills the whole mound and the queen as advertised. I dug into the mounds afterwards to see how effective and no ants or movement. Helps me keep the yard safe for my mother who likes to garden. Poor woman was being bitten all the time and no longer wanted to care for her plants. This helped. Don't know how long it will last yet. We shall see.
