Works well

Would Recommend

This product blocked fire ants wherever we placed it. I put this out in March and didnt see anything again until late September. Just be sure to water the product in as instructed so that it gets in the soil.

A familiar product

Would Recommend

Fire Ants are a regular thing in our subdivision, and we are continuing to make them uncomfortable with our lawns. While they will always be with us, the chance of forcing them to move comes with regular application of areas they find attractive.

PEACE OF MIND! - This product is great.

Would Recommend

I like it, its very effective and I see results very quick. I work in my land a lot of times I'm on my knees taking care of plants. Before, it was a very scary situation to be in AFTER that fact the fire ants start biting you. I spread it around my plants. It's safe and finally I can have the peace of mind that the burning sensation of fire ants bites won't happen again,
