Worked great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product worked fast, we spread it over the entire mound. We have a lot of fire ants where we live. There was no odor,it hasn't rained, so not sure how it will stand up after a rain, but I will update after. #ortho #Influenster

Great Ant Remover!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used this product multiple times! Great for getting rid of those ant hills that pop up after lots of rain. Great quality and a big bag to do a wide area. Packaging is great for easy carry, and notes how to use safely.

Quick results and easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fire ant killer works fast and is very easy to apply. I noticed fewer ants within a day, and the odor is minimal. Simple, effective, and reliable for stubborn fire ant problems.

Great buy and good to have on hand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a recent surge in ant hills, albeit we sprayed for everything and advised not to lay anything unless absolutely necessary. This stuff helps so much with all of the random ant piles popping up around the house and we plan on getting another few bags when we move into the bigger house out of state.

If you’re looking for a fire ant insecticide this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been searching for a good fire ant killer. Ortho fire killer is by far the best product and it does last up to six months. I feel the best way to get the product out is put it in drop spreader. It covers more of the area.

Works as advertised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] VERY large bag, lost me for a long while! Works also just as advertised sprinkled a bit in my backyard and I see less activity, down to all gone. Very easy to use, and works very well.
