Ant Dust Powder Killer for Indoors and Outdoors - Kills Ants, Fire Ants, Roaches, Spiders, and Other Insects - T600 - Up to 8 Months Protection - Easy to Use (Pack of 2)

I had a fire ant infestation in my home 3 years ago and 3 years later. Basically I bought two 3 years ago and had one left over that was not finished, which was a life saver this year because it killed all the fire ants, and got rid of the infestation. I bought 2 more again this year for a bit cheaper than I did 3 years ago. Demise Fire Ant & Insect Dehydrator is listed to kill more insects, but this is less expensive, and lasts 2 months longer.

The traps and dust work well to kill the current nest of ants, but there are billions waiting to take their place, so it is an ongoing process. They disappear for a few days and others return.

This stuff is much better than the Terro pellets, which just sit around the affected areas and don't seem to do much at all. I coated down the few colonies I found around the yard this summer and within two days I wasn't seeing them anymore. After a weekly check and subsequently a small collapse of an unmaintained colony, I found it to remain effective at killing the colony. My only complaint is to be careful about the application site because this compound will either discolor or inhibit the grass from growing if applied on it. EDIT (10/1/14): This product does not kill the ants, but will instead irritate them so they do not want to be around it. The colonies I used it on just seemed to be resurfacing in other areas. As I confirmed, the EPA has more restrictions in the chemicals that can be used and these new versions are less effective in order to meet those requirements. I have used instead another remedy that is cheaper to make, but can be more harmful to small animals as well as small children. Borax powder and corn syrup do a wonderful job of killing off most types of Ants. Mix ~50:50 ratio of borax to corn syrup on a small piece of paper or piece of card stock and leave near the paths the ants use. The sugars attract them so they feed and bring the chemical back to the colony, killing the colony in the process. This version only works indoors and should not be used if pets or small animals can access it. For an outdoor remedy, sprinkle a small amount of borax powder at or near the mouth of the colony if visible. If needed, place some in the mouth of the colony and add a few drops of water to disperse the mixture and keep it from being removed from the hole. That produced results noticeable within an hour, compared to 24 hours or so of waiting for the Terro mix to kick in (which was only keeping them from using exits where the powder was placed, not killing them off).

Terro best for killing ants inside and outside

Good stuff to kill ant

I bought this 3.5 months ago and sprinkled quite a bit on the ant hills in my yard. In a couple of days there were less ants but still quite a few. I waited 1 month and still there were ants. I spinkled some more on the ant hills and around them. Now 2.5 months later, still ants and way more ant hills. These are red fire ants. Glad most people had luck with this stuff, but I still have quite a few ants after 3.5 months.

All their products good for killing ants.

Best for ant hills on sidewalks and cracks around doors

Cause ants to disappear for months. Very effective. Small amount through out the house edges and ants disappear.
