What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this fire ant killer for rapid effectiveness and convenience. Most report complete colony elimination within 24 to 48 hours without requiring water, with many describing empty mounds and zero activity shortly after application. The shaker-style lid enables mess-free, precise treatment across large properties. Reviewers consistently note it outperforms competitor brands by preventing reinfestation, with many reporting months without new mounds after single applications. Some customers report inconsistent results or ants relocating nearby, though most consider these exceptions. Overall, the majority view it as a superior, worthwhile solution.

No need to water in

Would Recommend

Easy to apply, and no need to water in. Granules are earth colored, blends into the ground. Seems to work.

This did not work at all! I went with this product swaying from my regular fire ant killer, and it definitely made me appreciate the effectiveness of the other product I use!
