Green Light Fire Ant Control is attractive and deadly to fire ants. Fire Ants quickly find/pickup this bait, take it back to the mound, and feed it to the entire colony including the queen(s). Ants start dying in 24-36 hours with mound/colony destruction in 3 to 14 days. Broadcast applications may take longer.
Fire ant colonies are started by newly mated queen(s) that fly into an area, burrow into the ground and begin laying eggs. Several flights are common during the summer, often shorthly after rains. It takes several weeks for new mounds to appear. Combining mound and broadcast applications eliminates/controls visible mounds and helps prevent new mounds from forming. |
Use this product on lawns, around the perimeter of the home, around ornamental plants (flowers, plants, trees), and in home gardens.
Mounds: Sprinkle bait evenly over and around each mound in a 4 ft. diameter circle. Apply gently to avoid disturbing ants.
Broadcast Application: Use a hand-held or ground driven rotary broadcast spreader.
Avoid mowing 1 day before and after application.
Water/Rainfall: Do not water in bait. Do not water within 6 hours of mound application or 24 hours of broadcast application. If rain occurs within 6 hours of mound application or 24 hours of broadcast application, adequate foraging of the bait may not occur and retreatment may be necessary.
When To Apply: Apply when ants are active (usually when temperatures are greater than 60oF). The best time to apply is in the cooler morning and late evening when fire ant foraging is at its peak. Mounds will usually be eliminated/destroyed in 3 to 14 days. Extremely large mounds may require a repeat application. Make a broadcast application every other month during the warm months to keep the fire ants from establishing/starting/forming new mounds.
Amount To Use:
Mounds: 4 Tbs. for each mound (one rounded capful). For mounds greater than 15 inches in diameter use 6 Tbs. per mound.
Broadcast Application: 1/2 to 3/4 cup for each 1,000 square feet
