Shipping Details

The power is in your hands to keep your landscape in line – unleash it with Spectracide lawn and garden products. Our easy-to-use, fast-acting insect, lawn disease and weed control solutions help you tame lawn and landscape invaders with incredible pest-punishing power. Spectracide Fire Ant Shield Mound Destroyer granules is a deep-reaching formula for use directly on fire ant mounds. Made with our exclusive accelerator II technology to speed the release of the active ingredient into the mound, this product starts to kill in minutes. It kills the queen and colony in 24 hours and limits new mound formation. Use these granules to treat new mounds as they appear – sprinkle over and 2 feet around each mound. For best results, apply in morning or evening hours. At these times, fire ants are closer to the surface, virtually ensuring the product will contact them. Water in gently, as high-pressure spray may disturb ants and cause migration, reducing product effectiveness.

Mound destroyer: use outdoors directly on fire ant mounds - starts to kill in minutes
Kills the queen and colony: kills the fire ant queen and colony in 24 hours - limits the formation of new mounds in treated areas
Deep-reaching formula: made with exclusive accelerator II technology to speed the release of active ingredient into the mound
For best results: apply in morning or evening hours when fire ants are closer to the surface
Money-back guarantee: guaranteed results or your money back - see product label for details

What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this ant killer for its powerful, fast-acting effectiveness against fire ants and other species, with most reporting visible results within hours or days. Users consistently highlight its ease of application—simply sprinkling or spreading over mounds—and appreciate the affordable price point as excellent value. Many consider it a reliable, go-to solution for yard maintenance. A small group notes it may not eliminate entire colonies or queens, sometimes causing ants to relocate, and a few mention reapplication is needed after rain, but these concerns are far outweighed by strong overall satisfaction.
