Keeps roaches away!
Size: 12 OZ
Style: Mound Treatment
Was starting to see “unwanted guests” and sprinkled some down where I saw them and let me tell you this is MAGIC. Started seeing very few immediately then none at all. If you have a critters problem then this is the solution. Has a “collard greens” smell but I’ll take that anyday if it gets rid of roaches.

No More Roaches After Using This Product
Size: 12 OZ
Style: Mound Treatment
I was looking for a solution to get rid of roaches, and surprisingly, this product—which isn’t even specifically made for roaches—helped eliminate them from my home. The smell is strong at first, but it fades away after about 30 minutes. After using it, I stopped seeing roaches around the house. It worked much better than I expected, and I’m very happy with the results. I would definitely buy it again.

My Secret Roach Fix
Size: 12 OZ
Style: Mound Treatment
No idea how this works as an ant killer, but let me tell you over the last 3 years, only two bottles of this have completely fixed all my roach problems in my apartment. I just sprinkle a little where I see roaches, and it keeps them away for months. It’s so easy to clean up afterward just sweep and mop the powder, and you’re done. In terms of value for money, it’s outstanding. A single container lasts a very long time (lasted me more than a year) since you only need small amounts at a time. The powder itself has a plain, functional appearance nothing fancy, but it does the job. The container comes with a secure seal that keeps the product fresh and easy to store without spills. As for toxicity, I handle it carefully (gloves and washing hands after use), and so far I’ve had no issues indoors as long as I use it sparingly and responsibly. I recommend this to everyone, it’s absolute gold for unexpected pest problems.

Great results, but follow the instructions!
Size: 12 OZ
Style: Mound Treatment
I've seen a few negative reviews on this product, mostly complaints about the smell. One even wrote that his or her neighbors were complaining. Which makes me wonder if the reviewer was applying the product according to the package directions. Yes, it has a smell, but the instructions call for sprinkling just one teaspoon of the product per mound. And one teaspoon of this fire ant killer does not create much of a smell. And obviously this product is intended for outdoor use. If you use it indoors, you are certainly going to smell it. That said, I was skeptical about it, and not just because of a few negative reviews. I've tried several fire ant products, and most just cause the ants to relocate a few feet away and build a new mound. I followed the Orthene package directions, and it worked. Dead mounds, and no new mounds around. I even saw dead ants atop the mounds. Here are a few tips on getting results: 1. Apply it at a time when no rain is expected for at least a week. The powder is tracked into the mound by the ants, and that's how it works. Watering it in will stop its effectiveness. 2. Stand upwind when you sprinkle it over the mound. It is a fine powder, and any little breeze will blow it around. 3. Try for a very light dusting of the whole mound. I sprinkled just a LITTLE extra around the borders of the mound. 4. Don't disturb the mound. If you disturb it, the ants may relocate before the powder works. Or they may do some mound repair that covers the powder before they track it back in. If the ants accidentally get stirred up by the powder being applied, as long as the mound itself isn't disturbed, that seems to be okay -- it still worked when that happened with one mound I treated. 5. It takes a few days to work, so be patient for 3 to 7 days. Then check the mound for results. Reapply Orthene if necessary, but if you get results like I did, reapplying won't be necessary.
