Safe and easy to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bottle is easy to open and use. The concentration is good. I like that it’s safe for the environment. I didn’t notice any residue. But the smell is very off putting. Fire ants don’t stand a chance.

Good priced…
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this ortho ant killer in exchange for my honest review So love how clear the label it the ease at opening it and the bottle is sleek, however that’s about it for me… It smelled horrible when I opened it it blew up at me glad I did it outside.

Smelly but effective.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a few red ant mounds in my mulch beds below my plants. I’ve noticed an increase in red ants in the porch since my plants have been planted and are growing. They love crawling around in there… I don’t care for them much. Using this product I’ve seen a slight decrease in red ants on my porch now, they are still there but not as many. The product is easy to open with the help of the lid notch, just read the directions. It has a unique smel...

SUPER Effective!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Great product for stopping pesky ants!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked really well to stop the ants from coming into my home. The small container makes it easy to store. The thin powder texture allows for deeper penetration of the ant hill. Definitely worth the price!
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
Best one yet
I’ve tried a bunch of products and this one is the only one that has helped me kill ants successfully! I like it because it’s something that can be applied on the ant hill vs just spray and hope.

Good product, but Buyer Be Safe
Would RecommendI've been using this product for about a year. I was unaware that it needs to be used in tandem with the granules for the best results. Will be trying that soon. This smells, one should always read labels, the smell should let you know DANGER, wear gloves and a mask, if you have sensitive skin make sure you are covered. I have two dogs, when applying I block off the area for 24 hours, then spray it down. Most labels work for bigger heavier dogs, not small breeds. I have not had a problem wit...

Exelente producto
Escribo desde México, en un principio compré el producto para las hormigas pero me he dado cuenta que también mata a las cucarachas, quisiera saber a qué se debe esto.

Great Product!!!
Would RecommendI have used Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer for the first time and am really pleased with the results. It is easy to use and works just as described. I had many fire ant mounds and beginnings of mounds in my yard this year and now all are gone! I will continue to use this product as other fire ants try to move in to my yard in the future.

Works great for cockroaches
Someone suggested this to me to get rid of a cockroach infestation that I have been fighting for years with all kinds of bug bombs, different chemicals, different at home remedies and nothing worked I put this down and within a day the number of roaches that were dead was amazingly high and every day now less and less or alive to where I’m only seeing babies and they are dying this works top notch for cockroaches. It’s embarrassing to say, but I pick them up from somebody else’s house when I was...

Killed my dog.
I sprinkled this product, my yorkie loved the taste of it and it unfortunately eneded up killing her. We are very sad about this, and now our family has a void. We wish that I NEVER had bough tthis product and the lable should actually state that may cause death to pets if ingested. Be clear about the results of animal ingestion, they are family! Please make this foul tasting for animals!

Works fast and great
Would RecommendI work in a warehouse in an industrial complex. Nothing but concrete parking lots and buildings for a 1/4 mile in any direction and somehow the fire ants got under the threshold of my office door and had invaded my office. I should have done this as i was leaving work for the evening and turned off the AC and worn a mask. Anyhow, The smell lasted an hour or so, but instantly and for the next few hours the ants were dying. Back to work on Monday, no smell and tons of dead ants everywhere.

Seriously works great to kill fire ants
Would RecommendLove this product. I’ve used it for 10 years or more. It kills Fireant mounds quickly, while many other products just cause the ants to relocate. I learned long ago not to use it against the walls of my home. If mounds are against your foundation, sprinkle a small amount an inch or two away from the foundation. Make sure water or rain won’t wash it against your foundation. It really works great - just be careful to use it in a manner to keep the oder away from your house.

Best Fireant Killer Anywhere!
Would RecommendFound this product several years ago and it's the ONLY thing I use! Very effective! Living in the south, they're a huge problem! Wish I could buy it in bulk. I go through a lot of it during the summer.
From ScottsMiracle-Gro
DOES NOT KILL MY ANTS.
Would Not RecommendI have used this on a number of mounds and it simply does not work. The latest was a mound that has been treated twice in the last week and today has ants going about their business in the mound, walking over the granules on the top and swarming when I stick it with a stick. Today was treatment # 3.
