  • Excellent Product
Size: Fire Ant Killer (Twin Pack) Style: Mound Treatment
The only thing i disliked about this product was the smell. I wasn’t expecting it to have a smell, and it’s terrible. It killed the ant mound extremely fast, but the smell lasted for days around my home.

  • Great
Size: Fire Ant Killer Style: Mound Treatment
Product works just as it says. Easy to sprinkle over the mounds. Started to kill the ants in about 15 minutes. The only thing was the bottle is more than double the size of what is needed so you have to either stick your hand way down inside or put it in a smaller container for easy access. I highly recommend this product. I have an infestation of red ants and this is working great so far to get rid of them. It does have a chemical smell in the container. ... show more

  • Pest deterer that works and keeps working after.
Size: Fire Ant Killer Style: Mound Treatment
Bought this after being told it can be used for more than what it is intended for. Had a huge pest problem and after using this and placing it on cracks along the wall where the floor boards meets. I was able to get rid of my pest problem. Been free of them for a good 4 months and no sign ofthem coming back. Great for older building where the pest problem is persistent. ... show more

  • Excellent fire ant killer
Size: Fire Ant Killer (Twin Pack) Style: Mound Treatment
Excellent fire ant killer! Anyone who has fire ant mounds knows they are hard to get rid of. This granular ant killer is the best product on the market! Sprinkle the granulated powder on and around the mound and no more ants to be found! Not a fan of using non organic products normally, however, I haven't found a product that works until this non organic product. Don't let the small container fool you into thinking that it' doesn't have a good value. It works fast and its very very effective. ... show more

  • Works great, but at a cost!!!
Size: Fire Ant Killer Style: Mound Treatment
This product kills ants and roaches very fast, but the smell!!! OMG, smells like the carcass of a something monstrous. Used it three days ago and the odor still lingers and it is very strong. Other than that I definitely recommend

  • WORKS GREAT FOR ROACH INFESTATION!!
Size: Fire Ant Killer Style: Mound Treatment
I live in an apartment and have been battling hoards of roaches. It's like everything that I have bought before did NOTHING to them! So they just kept getting worse. We even had an exterminator come by and wipe them out but that only lasted a couple months before they came back. I'm going to keep this one around at all times because I am so tired of cooking and the roaches looking down at me from the counter tops like, "what 'chu cooking?" Basically begging like dogs.🤢 Finally I can say that we are ROACH FREEE BABYYY. This does have a slight rotten cabbage smell BUT it is so worth it!! Trust me. That's not even half the roaches btw. By the next morning, the roaches were falling over dead, piling up even! Had to sweep hoards of them up about 10 times within a couple days and there's still more dying. ... show more

Size: Fire Ant Killer (Twin Pack) Style: Mound Treatment
Great product honestly I didn't use it for ants we used for roaches and it works wonders. We had a small problem but the roaches were out before and especially after the lights went out. This stuff solved our problems. Great for roaches too!!
