If I spray in my grass on the ant hills will it kill the worms in the ground? I don't want to. The worms are good for the grass

Yes it will kill the worms as well, for ant hills buy "amdro", the workers will take the bait and feed it to the queen and it will kill the queen, once the queen is dead, within two days all ants will die too, Bifen XTS 25.1% is very powerful

I did not use the spray or traps. I don't see my answer from earlier, but, I am sure that I mentioned that I used the powder, and just poured it around the hill. Next day: no ants anymore. You have to find the hill, but, the ants are big and easy to track. Watch your feet and keep moving. One bite will let you know that you were not alert.

If you get in on grass or your floweres it will kill them. I've used it on areas that are strictly weeds for the most part or not close to other vegetation I don't want to kill.

It does make the ants clear the mound . But I found they will burrow out other outlets, since their tunnels are numerous, you have to make sure you stay on them, and do this when the ground is dry ! Hope this helps

Just wait a few days for the grass to die. This is not a herbicide. It is an organic spray that will only harm grass or weeds it has direct contact with. There are no residual harmful effects to the soil.

In the great N.W., we don't have a 'bag-worm' problem, however, the pamphlet that comes with the product will answer your question. The name of this product was given me by a 'pest-control' person, who uses it on just about everything. Our problems here are quite heavy and I found that it is the answer to just about any and all infestations here. If this helps, good. Our biggest problem here are carpenter ants. NOT ANY MORE.

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.

Of the 60 ants that we received about six weeks ago, only a couple have died. It seems that the other ants move them to a corner of ant farm to make a graveyard. They go on with their other activities. Opening the top to let O2 in makes them very active, and one time a few escaped. I may have pinched one when I closed the top, and this may have contributed to one ant's early demise. At this point, I'm not sure if an ant will die here and there or if the entire colony will expire at some end point.

It will kill caterpillars that eat the leaves it is sprayed upon. Therefore I do not spray it on dill or milkweed so my butterfly friends are not harmed.

It is supposed to kill an ant mound when you release the CO2 capsule into the mound . I used several of the canisters in my garden, but did not get rid of fire ants. It might work on other types of ants.

Greg, In general its not a wise choice to spray any kind of concentrate for ants. The reasons are many but the big one is that they can detect most any active. And once they detect it, they'll stay off the treated surface and avoid where its been applied. This will usually force them elsewhere and essentially complicate the situation. And since the ants you see represent less 10% of the local nest, even if you did kill all the ones you see it wouldn't solve the problem. So what do you do? Well for starters, don't spray inside the home. Instead use a bait. Something like Maxforce Ant Gel or Optigard Ant Gel. These options will readily be accepted by any foraging ant and within a few days, be brought back to their nest and once ingested, kill a bunch of the colony. At the same time you should spray the homes exterior with a "non repellent" active such as Phantom, Optigard Flex or Dominion. These actives won't be detectable by the ants and in turn, they'll readily walk over the treatment. This will allow them to "transfer" the active to other members of their colony so when the active finally does "kicks in" and goes to work, it will kill most if not the entire nest. That will usually happen in 3-4 days following the initial application. The good news is any ants surviving this will in turn know to stay away from the old ant trails for fear of something "bad" in the area so even if you don't kill them all, the non repellents will usually take care of the problem by forcing them elsewhere. Give us a call if you need more advice; its kind of hard to explain all of this via a post. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

Sometimes it works too well and you will get mounds of earthworm droppings after colonies of earthworms start setting in...lol Your front lawn will look like a mine field (with worms castings)

I've only used this for black ants. They LOVE it.....at least mine do. I put that down and they come out of the hills in droves to pick it up and carry it away. Then the next day they're completely gone. I put this in the driveway and sidewalk cracks and I just don't get ants anymore.

Hello. I do not know the answer to this as I used it for trying to get rid of the ants in my lawn. It kept them at bay but unfortunately they still persist.

I have 2 1/2 acres, so I have a lot of ants. It took me about 2 weeks to get rid of them in my acre yard. Spray right on the entrance to hill and let it soak in. Now I walk around once a week with my spray and I might see 1 or 2 little ones starting up. So, I guess you can say it works great.

So you have fire ants. To limit the disturbance of the ant hill, I always spray (plenty) in a circle AROUND the hill. I don't spray it directly on the hill. You know there are other products made specifically for fire ants.

My husband handles this so I asked him. it should not matter. We water the yard where the worms are. Our neighbor uses them too. They seem to work and we had not put any out in awhile but my husband noticed we may have one again so he put the last one out and ordered more.
