Amdro Fire Ant Killer for Mounds 2 lb — Fast-Acting Granular Bait Kills Colony

Amdro Fire Ant Killer for Mounds is a fast-acting granular bait that lures worker ants to feed it to the colony, killing the queen and destroying the nest within about a week.

If fire ant mounds are disrupting your lawn, garden, or play areas, this 2 lb container of Amdro offers a targeted, easy-to-apply solution. The granules are formulated to attract multiple fire ant species so workers take the bait back into the mound where it is shared with larvae and the queen. Because the bait is consumed and redistributed inside the nest, it treats the colony at its source rather than just killing ants on contact.

How quickly will I see results after applying Amdro Fire Ant Killer for Mounds?

Most users notice fewer foraging ants within 24 hours and substantial mound decline in about one week as the queen and brood are affected. Speed depends on ant activity, weather, and correct application timing.

• Visible reduction often within a day of application.
• Colony collapse frequently occurs around seven days.
• Apply during cooler morning or late afternoon for best worker activity.

Where and how should I apply this granular ant bait?

The product is made specifically for treating individual mounds in yards, gardens, and other outdoor spaces. Scatter the labeled amount directly on and around the mound—do not water in—and avoid applying on wet grass or before heavy rain.

• Use recommended granule amounts per mound as directed on the label.
• Apply when ants are actively foraging for best uptake.
• Do not broadcast over lawns; focus on mound treatment unless following two-step lawn program.

Which ant species does Amdro stop, and can it be used with other Amdro products?

This bait is effective against several pest ant species commonly found in yards, including imported and native fire ants, Argentine ants, bigheaded ants, and harvester ants. For extensive infestations, pair mound treatments with Amdro Fire Ant Killer for Lawns as part of a two-step program for broader control.

• Works on imported and native fire ants and other common yard ants.
• Compatible with Amdro two-step lawn-and-mound strategy for maximum protection.
• Ideal for spot-treating visible mounds and localized colonies.

Is this safe to use around children, pets, and plants if I follow directions?

When used strictly according to the label, the product is intended for outdoor mound treatment and can be used around lawns and gardens with appropriate precautions. Keep children and pets away from treated mounds until granules are no longer visible, and follow all storage and handling instructions on the package.

• Keep people and pets off treated areas until dry or granules are gone.
• Store the container away from food and out of reach of children and animals.
• Follow label for safe handling, application rates, and disposal.
