Well worth the price!! - OVERVIEW: That's right, "European" Fire Ants (Myrmica Rubra). I live in the NE US and they are an invasive species that is slowly becoming more and more of a problem, much like it's southern cousin. Never heard of them before 4 years ago, when I was stung dozens of times standing on a patio stone. I also have experience with the Southern variety as my mom lived in Florida. Some drainage work was done on my property 6 years ago and loads of top soil was brought in by the company to re-seed. I suspect this top soil was the source of the Fire ants as I had never seen them before then. The University of Maine conducted an in depth study. They specifically recommended this product (Advion) as the most effective treatment. THE ENEMY: These ants are not as aggressive as their southern cousins from S. America. Same size 3-4mm. Reddish to dark brown. They are not as fast and don't swarm as quickly. The individual sting is about as painful as their cousins, they'll just likely be less of them on you at once. They also don't build mounds of any kind which makes them harder to spot initially...until someone gets stung. Each individual colony can number in the 10s of thousands, have up to 100 queens that can live for up to15 years and utilize multiple nest sites with dozens of entrances. All this gives the ants tremendous flexibility and survivability to most measures. Left unchecked....they will take over large portions of a yard making it unusable...just like their cousins in the south. THE SITUATION: My yard was getting pretty infested with about 15-18 individual nests that I identified over a total of around 2000 sq/ft. Again, no mound of any kind makes it hard to detect until you learn what to look for. Look for the ants themselves and follow there foraging trails to nest and mark with sticks/stakes. For about 3 years I was trying other brands and homemade boric acid bait with limited to no success. Every year they were expanding. I then came across the UMaine articles recommending this product. After 2 days.....I no longer can find a single nest of Fire ants. They appear to have been completely eradicated. All the native, small brown ants, the ones that make little sand hills...seem to have been unaffected. This proves it's target use on Fire ants. The fact it only targets Fire ants (or other ants like them maybe) may be pro or a con depending on your situation. HOW TO APPLY: There two ways to apply this product. Broadcast or spot targeting each nest. Make sure it will not rain for 24 hours the day of application. The product is lightweight, bright yellow granules. Softish material the ants can easily grasp and move. I recommend the 2 pound jug for the money. I first used my Scotts seed spreader on setting 2 to cover the heavily nested areas evenly. Used about half the jug. I marked all of the identified nests I could find with tall bamboo stakes so I could easily monitor the results (see pic..notice deer tracks, lol). The next day, instead of seeing hundreds of workers foraging...I saw zero activity on 80% of the nests(see pic of nest w/no ants). I then looked VERY thoroughly for remaining nests. I found 5-6 more that were still active as they were outside of the initial targeted area of the spreader or were on the boarders and didn't get enough product. I applied just 1/2 teaspoon around each nest in a couple of small piles (see pic w/product). Because the granules are bright yellow, you can actually see the ants immediately pick up the stuff and start carrying it back to mom and the rest of the brood (see video). Very satisfying to see it work so fast. Little yellow dots moving down the holes..."look what I found Mom!" THE RESULT: The day after targeting individual nests after the initial broadcasting...I saw no ants. After 4 days....still no sign of any Fire Ants, ANYWHERE on my property! Now, I have no doubts there are some nests just off my property and they will be back in the future. It's probably inevitable. But I'll be ready to attack the nests as they come. The rest of the jug I have should last a few seasons as long as it doesn't expire. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! My yard is now completely usable again with no fear of pets, children or adults getting stung. Well worth the price in my opinion considering it will cost hundreds, possibly thousands to have it done professionally. Good luck folks!! Review: Oh-Em-Gee!! This REALLY WORKS!! - I don't normally write desertcart reviews, but I had to comment on this fire ant killer. .....Probably the most effective fire ant killer out there! I have a backyard garden and teen sons who may occasionally run outside barefoot. Every year, the fire ants build mounds on our lawn and in my raised beds. Very annoying. I have tried diatomaceous earth, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and boiling water. Those items only kill the ants that come out when the nest is disturbed. After some research, I tried this Advion. I received it on the 12th of May, used it the same evening. I used a few sprinkles around each mound I could find. My yard is somewhere around 2k sq ft, could be more. This one contained could last a long time. Anywho, I checked each ant mound this morning, 5/15/26. Not an ounce of activity was seen. No swarm nothing. I presume the whole colony is dead. And I'm elated. Now, I can garden without being bitten by an ant because I shoveled too close to their nest. The product is expensive, but so worth it. I'll probably sprinkle more outside my fence to keep any new colony at bay. ## Features - Advion fire ant bait effective and fast acting.

Has anyone actually observed large numbers of dead ants on and around the mounds?** A: I use this in my Florida yard as a mound killer. I would find piles of dead ants, actually stacked in neat mounds, outside of the nest several days after applying. Within a week or two there were no more ants. **Q: Has anyone used a broadcast spreader to apply this? If so, what spreader and setting is correct?** A: We used a Scott's push style broadcast sprayer at the default setting. We applied to 2-1/2 acres in May and all ants were gone in a week **Q: Does this product harm free range chickens in the yard?** A: We keep our chickens up for 3 days, as it looks like crumble. **Q: Do you know if this will work on twig ants?** A: It does not specify that particular ant. However it has killed every ant I feed it to. It does not allow them to move several feet away like all the other ant killers I have tried.

It may be a little on the expensive side but it works very well. Received it early Tuesday morning and applied to the fire ant hill and by Thursday evening there are no fire ants left after kicking and stomping the mound. It's worth the money and I would definitely buy it again. Easy to use and I applied it directly on the mound and may have used about 1/4-1/3 of a cup so it should last quite a while. Before video on Monday evening and after picture on Thursday evening. ## Frequently Bought Together - Advion Fire Ant Bait, 2-lb.
