What Customers Are Saying

The product is effective at eliminating fire ant mounds for some users, but inconsistent and ineffective for others. Positive reviews highlight the product's quick and effective mound elimination, with ants not returning for an extended period. However, a significant number of customers found the product did not live up to its claims, with ants simply moving their mounds or the product having no impact at all. The overall consensus is that the product's effectiveness can be inconsistent.

Mounds dead, but back again?

Would Not Recommend

Treated whole yard first by directions. Later, mounds still active. Treated mounds and they did die out with activity, but a few days later mounds started back up. Usually about 3 to 4 feet away from the old mound. This has happened to 4 mounds I've treated. Now I have multiply small mounds through out the yard. Guessing the yard treatment didn't help either. Seams a waist of time and money.

I would not buy again. Doesn't work

Would Not Recommend

I bought this because it said "guaranteed". I have always used amdro in the past and this was a little more in price so I thought I'd give it a try. I bought a spreader and followed directions on the bag. It killed the mounds but in 2 weeks they were back in almost the same spots. Waste of money and time

Sometimes works

Does not always work. Sometimes requires multiple treatments and even then the mound will not be killed.

I have been using this product for quite some time and it seems to work better than the other ant killer brands.

Great Price

Would Recommend

This product is a lot cheaper than the other products to choose from. I didn't bother to read the instructions but it removed all of the ants beds I used it on and they are still gone.

Worthless

Would Not Recommend

I applied this to mounds with no results whatsoever. It is supposed to kill within 15 minutes, but hasn’t killed in three days. Expensive and a waste of money for me.

Does not kill mound

Would Not Recommend

It’s been 2 weeks after sprinkle all of it in backyard size 55 x 22 = 1210 sqft, the only difference I see is ants shifted next to fence and I believe they will come back after this chemical dissolve in soil But for sure it does not kill the mound or queen to stop their reproductive system

We use it faithfully!!!

Would Recommend

This was recommended by our Veterinarian for fleas! Not only does it work for ants but fleas as well. I have been using this product for years. We moved to a new house 8 yrs ago, put this on our yard...couple days later our neighbor asked what we put out because he has more ants and mounds! Oops, didn't mean to run them to his yard! We put it out at least twice a yr with a spreader and have no ant (or flea) problems!!

Over 'n Out ant killer

Would Recommend

Best stuff I have found so far. Gets rid if them PDQ and they don't come back. I keep it on my lawn mower with me and when I come across a mound I sprinkle it. It eliminated 98% of my fire ant hills last summer. Worth the cost too!
