Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer1, Kills the Queen, Destroys up to 162 Mounds, Begins Working in 60 minutes, 12 oz.

Unbelievable!! I'm a woman living alone for the first time and I'm in Florida. When the fire ants started crawling around all over the pavers next to the pool I was shocked! I thought they stayed in the grass. I panicked and immediately bought this highly rated product and prayed it would help. As soon as I got it I read the directions and loosely followed them. I started sprinkling this powder on the fire ant hills that were near the pool area. I used the whole container but I have not seen one fire ant since! I don't go in the grass. I expect to find them there, but they were all over the pavers! I could lay out and even had to worry about bites in the few steps to get to the pool! It worked better than expected and they were gone the next day! Kills quickly! Great value! There was enough to get all of those nasty ant hills, it probably would have lasted longer if I didn't put so much on, but the cost of this bottle to get rid of all of them is well worth it!! Good size bottle!

A couple of years ago, just *one* bite from a fireant sent me to urgent care with sudden and frightening respiratory and cardiac issues (not to mention the immediate swelling and intense itching on my ankle). Ended up getting a prednisone shot in the butt. 😡Bought this product upon recommendation of a landscaper. Within 90 seconds of application, ants started swarming (had already applied Amdro, which usually works, but they must have snacked on it). I hope that they die...that their families die...that their friends die.Tips:- Don't apply if there is even a hint of a breeze; this is an extra-fine powder. Wear a respirator mask.- Does not have a perforated top (for sprinkling {unless I missed something}); do not cut open entire foil lid.- Ready yourself to smell one of the most putrid odors you've ever had the displeasure of being exposed to.I hope and expect to find a great many carcasses later today.

As soon as I opened the bottle it smelled so bad. The smell is horrible but that’s ok. I placed it everywhere and as soon as I saw the ant piles I poured it in the hole quickly. I started to see some ants kind of getting weaker. After a few minutes I went to check and there was no more movement in the ant piles. I made sure when I took my dog out I wouldn’t let him walk by it. I picked him up and placed him where I didn’t put any ant powder because I didn’t want to risk his life. U never know if it’s not safe for him. But it is very affective. I saw a guy in Instagram say he highly recommend it and he was right. I’m happy. One bottle was enough for the front and back side of the house on all the ant piles we had.

I live in southern California (San Diego County), and we have biting red ants. They are not as bad as fire ants in TX and elsewhere in the southeast, but they will take over your yard and have a very painful bite and spread very quickly. I've tried a lot of different things to get rid of them, but short of hiring a professional exterminator, nothing was very effective. I wasn't sure if this would work, since these technically aren't fire ants, but figured I didn't have much to lose other than a few dollars. I'm happy to say that it exceeded my expectations. After springling just a little around the mound, literally within a few hours, the entire colony was completely wiped out. Not a single living ant anywhere within a five foot radius of the mound. I'm now moving around to other mounds and eradicating them one by one.

I have only had this a week and could barely use it due to rain. BUT, I truly hope it works as awful as it smells! I cannot stress this enough! I had used it and put the lid (securely) on it quickly because it immediately made me gag-badly. I stored the container in the basement waiting for dry weather and the next day I spent half a day trying to find a dead critter and checking sewer pipes because my entire basement smelled like death! Lol. Nope, just the innocent container sitting right where I left it. So just a warning to have an airtight container of some sort to place it in or you will have a nasty smell going on. I will update my review if it takes care of the ants I have been trying to kill. Good luck

The other kind of ant killer I was using was a little simpler because you did not have to pour water over the mound, but it also took longer to kill the ants. With this you will also have to carry a pale of water around with you in order to drench the ant hill once the product is applied. It will kill the ants much faster though. The other product seemed to treat twice as many ant hills as this one but cost three times as much. So overall this product is a better value. The ants I treated were not fire ants, but they are just as dead.

Recomendado para eliminar las hormigas bravas y hasta las CUCARACHAS 😱Recomiendo mezclar 3 cucharas de azúcar y las otras 3 con el producto y las elimina de manera instantánea. No he vuelto a ver hormigas ni cucarachas en mi apartamento.
