Come and Get It Fire Ant Killer

USE INSTRUCTIONS

Kills the Queen & the Mound. No Mixing. Dead Ants in 24 Hours. No Watering Necessary.

Use on Lawns & Other Turf Areas Such as Recreational Areas, Rangeland, Permanent Pastures, Ornamentals, Landscapes, Greenhouses & Most Crops including, but not limited to tree nuts, citrus, stone fruit, tree fruits soybeans and vegetables. Contains a bait that attracts foraging fire ants and is readily taken back into the nest as food for the colony. Fire ants that consume the bait will appear sick and lethargic within 12-24 hours. Dead ants will frequently be seen near mounds 24-36 hours after application.

Mound Application: Sprinkle bait evenly over and around each mound in a 4-ft diameter circle. Apply gently to avoid disturbing ants. Use 4 Tbs (tablespoons) for each mound. For mounds greater than 15 inches in diameter, use 6 Tbs per mound.

Broadcast Application: Spread bait evenly over the infested area with a hand-held or ground driven rotary broadcast spreader. Use 1/3 to 2/3 cup for each 1000 sq ft, or 3 to 6 cups per 10,000 sq ft, or 2.5 to 5 lb per acre. Use higher rates for heavier infestations, faster activity, and greater overall control.

Apply when ants are active (usually when temperatures are warmer than 60ºF). The best time to apply is in the cooler early morning or late evening hours when fire ant and harvester ant foraging is at its peak. Mounds will usually be eliminated or destroyed in 3 to 14 days after treatment. Extremely large mounds may require a repeat application. Make a broadcast application every other month during the warm months to keep fire ants or harvester ants from establishing, starting, or forming new mounds.
