Advion Insect Granular Bait, 1-lb. Shaker Bottle, Effective Insect Granular Bait, Formulated with 0.22% Indoxacarb, Outdoor Use, for Control of Prevailing Perimeter Pests

This stuff works! After one application we saw thousands of dead ants! After a day a day or so, the ants are gone. Incredible! Stop wasting money on sprays and start using this.

Within 10 seconds of putting the bait down (I had a trail of fire ants in my house (yikes!) an ant picked up a granule. They didn't "swarm" the bait, but I did notice over the ensuing days, the little pile of granules getting smaller and smaller. It took a solid week, but eventually the ants went away, AND all the ant hills in my front yard died about a week later, too. So....apparently, they brought the bait from inside my house, to the piles outside, which were all one big colony. For good measure, I sprinkled my front and back yard lightly with the granules. My cat was absolutely repelled by the odor, (though it has no discernable smell to my nose) so safe around cats. Birds apparently dislike it as much as cats. I usually throw birdseed down in my backyard to feed the Cardinals, but after applying the Advion, the birds wouldn't go anywhere near the seed. I bought a bird feeder hung from a tree, and they eat that with gusto. So, it appears that cats and birds are repelled by Advion which is a very good thing! I tested it on my neighbor's dog, just holding the lid about 3 feet from her nose, caused her to retreat in fear. Still, keep out of reach of pets, just to be safe, and away from children of course. I bought these refillable ant bait stations, and put them at inaccessible locations around my house. If ever a red fire ant decides to go scouting for food, it will alert the whole colony to those baits. My verdict, this is BY FAR, the best fire ant poison on the market. The ants love it, and it takes about a week to kill the ants, that long delay allows the poison to be spread deep within the colony. It's not a quick fix, it's PERMANENT fix!

Absolutely wonderful! Killed those red ants like nothing I have seen since chlordane.

This stuff is so good my first time buying this was the bait it works amazing

Bought this off of Amazon, $23. Tiny long granules, longer than the ants. They were dragging these granules around within 2 minutes of me placing granules in a safe place. Safe place away from pets and kids. Then I actually poured a pea sized amount in a spoon and used another spoon to crush into smaller pieces. That was 2 days ago. Did not see many ants the next day, and today have not seen any at all. They take this back to their nests and kills the entire colony. Please keep away from kids, pets, and eating areas. I also sprinkled some outside at their entry point.

I used an ample amount, 3 days later hardly any dead ants. I put down another heavy sprinkle across and around the mound and could not tell I had did so 3 days later. I put down over 1/4 of the entire can on the same mound. 2 days later red ants busy expanding their mound. This can was worthless, I may as well burn my $20.. Good Luck with this product.

First, I hate fire ants. Second, I'm in central Texas, so they're everywhere! In the past, we used the powder to sprinkle on the ant hills, until they started popping up inside the house this summer. We placed the little ant bait things everywhere, but couldn't keep up. So, I bought this after seeing a recommendation by NYT Wirecutter. I didn't think this small amount would last long, but they're small pellets, like cut up spaghetti, and they work wonderfully. Just sprinkle on ant hills, or wherever you see a colony, and watch them carry the pellets away. Later that day, no ants were in the room where we sprinkled these. With that being said, if you're using this indoors, make sure no animals or people get to them. We put a small amount where the ants were coming in and closed off the room. Later, when the ants were gone, we wiped the area down with spray cleaner to get rid of any residue and eliminate the ant scent trails. Then we sealed up the corner to hopefully prevent anything in the future. Also, when using it outside, be sure to consider other wildlife. I've made sure to not use this anywhere near our bird feeders, and to only use a small amount that the ants carry away within minutes. That way a bird won't mistake it for seed and get sick or die. I also don't feel the need to keep my entire yard bug free. Just enough to keep the fire ants from setting up shop in my house or around my patio. Just, please use responsibily!!

Excellent!!!!
