What additional step do you need to use to kill fire ants?

After you spray the inside of the mound then you stomp on the mound and it implodes so the ants can't get out. It really works!!!

we used all of the gasses that came with the gasser, I think four, and the next day the mound was dead. the ants have not returned or built somewhere else. I have several turtles in a outdoor pen so I didn't want to harm them with chemicals.

don't have a clue. ours never worked from the minute we took it out of the box. piece of junk!

nothing. just stick it in the mound as instructed and unload the little canister. kills the ants

No additional step, Ant-Zap works on ant mounds. You need to be sure and treat each mound in 4 different spots for 5 seconds each. You should put a whole cartridge in each mound until cartridge is exhausted/empty. With some soil conditions it may take up to 3 days to completely kill the mound.

Hello, the cedarcide products are great at killing a wide variety of pests and insects, which should include fire ants.

Hi Dorothy, thanks for the question. I actually purchased this for the treatment of carpenter ants! I had a terrible invasion in a dead Fig tree limb, you should have seen them! Unfortunately I cannot post links here, but if you go to YouTube and search "boric acid kill ants" I'd suggest the videos by CupRockTv as well as gregthegardner. I don't own those videos, but I just did a bit if checking for you and I can recommend them. Let me know if you need anything else and have a fantastic day! -Nic

Yes, but there is an Advion fire ant bait specifically for use outdoors for fire ants. To quote Dupont's literature; ""DuPont ADVION ant gel is specifically formulated to be attractive to all major pest species of ants such as Acrobat, Argentine, Big-headed, Carpenter, Cornfield, Crazy, Field, Ghost, Harvester*, Honey, Little black, Odorous house, Pavement, Pharaoh*, Pyramid, Red Imported Fire Ant*, Rover, Thief, and White-footed. ADVION ant gel contains the active ingredient, indoxacarb, a non-repellent insecticide. Use of ADVION ant gel will help eliminate ants within days of applying the gel according to the use directions. *ADVION ant gel is effective at killing Pharoah ants, foraging red imported fire ants and harvester ants. For complete control of outdoor nests of these species, use additional treatments labeled for outdoor nest control of these species.""

I think it will. It works with fire ants, and they are difficult to get rid of. This is the best product for killing ants--period.

It's possible, this poison, dries them out from the inside. If the ants eat it or get it on them, it should kill them. If you spread it around their nest that should help but keep it away from animals and children. I spread it in the backs of cupboards and underneath drawers.

Not sure about this, but I know down here in Louisiana, Termiticide/Termidor works great. I spray 3 acres about every 2 or 3 years and NO fire ants. Don't treat individual hills, treat your entire yard. It's the best $50/$60 bucks you'll spend and save you $ in the long run.

Hopefully this isn't too late to be useful. Use 12ml for fire ants in 1 gallon of water in hand sprayer.

Termidor works best when sprayed where ants are currently active. It's a tracking solution that will go with them back to their colony before beginning to kill them.

Yes, just make sure you put the pressure sprayer wand into the mound. Works on our fire ants but you need to get it to., the queen to eliminate the colony.

I agree with the other two responses: I have no idea about fire ants but the product works very well with the little tiny ants that invaded my kitchen. It did about a month until they were completely gone.

You bet. I have used this product on both the little red ants and the big black ones. I just dealt with a new onslaught from the other side of the yard (entering the house through some hidden crack in the foundation) this spring and honestly, they're gone.

This has ALWAYS worked for me. First you see a few ants and then when you come back a while later there are hordes of ants, its quite unnerving but you have to let it happen. Then suddenly they're gone and its over. I use this with house/black ants. Never fails.

watch U tube on this "HOW TO KILL FIRE ANTS ~ DEAD !" it has great tip that shouldn't contaminate your entire yard.

The original version of this product killed them. The label says it does but the recent EPA guidelines forces Terro to create a less toxic blend of chemicals. This means it doesn't kill Ants anymore, they just find another route out of their colony. If you have a fire ant colony, this will keep them from coming out the entrance you spread it on, but they'll most likely just move the entrance a few feet or a few meters. To eradicate, you may need a homemade solution that is less environmentally friendly. I've sprinkled this dust directly on carpenter ants and fire ants outside the colony. Both didn't like it, but they ultimately survived and so did the colony I tried to block entrance to. This is more for taking care of the areas where they force a huge mountain of dirt onto your lawn, than for dealing with the reason it got put there.

I've never used it against fire ants or any ants specifically, but it ought to do the trick. This is some awesome stuff. I've mostly used it against Japanese beetles and fleas. Very effectively, mind you.
