I live on the Mississippi coast abuout 1/4 mile from the Gulf. We were plagued with fire ants and it was an ongoing balle using granules and baits until I sprayed the entire lawn with a mixture of Tarus. We have had not one "hill" this year.

I don't know, we live in Illinois and we don't have fire ants here. But it was very effective at killing all of the insects we have around here.

I don't know about fire ants but I haven't had any ants all summer around my house since I sprayed. But I didn't have fire ants.

I never tried it for pest control, only for fire ants. It did not work for them, They only moved to a new location.

Typically you would not use this for carpenter ants. It'll work and it is labeled for regular ants, but it is not labeled for carpenter ants.

I bought 3, 2lb. jugs to treat a multitude of mounds on a horse ranch (several acres). They were small to medium ant mounds, distributed all over the place (I did not count, there were so many). I only used 1½ jugs, so 3 lbs. to rid the ENTIRE ranch of Fire ants! They call me the Fire Ant Fairy. :) Yes, as Steven F. said, a little goes a long way. Follow directions...you'll see results in a day (2 days max)!

Works with swarming carpenter ants. Fire ants usually found outside and there are many products to eradicate those.

I doubt in Jen, works very well and safely on fire ants. You can try PLANT SKYDD it got rid of our rabbit invasion. Good Luck.

No, says the pest control company that recommended this to me. This products works. Put a line in an ant path and they go after it. Used this for years.

I do not know if it works for spiders, I do not have any, however I do know it does not work for carpenter ants.

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.

PLEASE NO NO NO!!!!! Kills the ants well and will not hurt pets. BUT NEVER USE IT ON THEM!

I would say No. However the bait is thick enough that it would stick to the tree. It will attract the ants especially if you put it on the trail up or down the tree. It works great!

I've used it several times on fire ant mounds, it seems to be pretty effective,, whether it's more effective than some of the other products intended solely for that purpose remains unclear. I will say this though we had an issue with carpenter ants in our house that were almost impossible to stop , even our pest control company couldn't put a stop to the ants. Since I started spraying the Demon product pretty heavy around the perimeter 3 or 4 times a year we no longer have them inside the house.

It works great on fire ants, when you top dress the ant mound. As for being garden-safe, if you are growing vegetables in the garden, be careful to not put it on the vegetable plants themselves. I am pretty sure it would not be good for you, and might leave residual on your vegetables. If you are growing a flowering garden, it has not seemed to damage any plants I put it near.

I thinks. It says kills ticks and fire ants on contact. I use it to kill fleas

I don't know. I did not use it on carpenter ants. I did however, have other ants besides fire ants and carpenter ants, and it did work on those.

It has so far worked on ALL types of ants. This includes the large red ants, fire ants and the smallest sugar ants.

No, not with the application method that is involved. It only works with mounds. For sugar ants as well as roaches and any other indoor insects, I use Bengal which works great.
