Product Details

The AMDRO Fire Ant Killer Bait kills the queen fast and destroys the fire ant mound. Once you distribute a circle of fire ant bait around the mound, it is only a matter of time before the worker fire ants share it with the queen. After the queen eats it and dies, her colony dies with her. The ant granules are designed for individual mound treatment but can also be used for broadcast application in outdoor areas, for total ant control.
  • AMDRO Ant & Fire Ant Killer and Ant & Fire Ant Bait

  • Can be used to destroy individual mounds
  • Destroys visible and hidden mounds
  • Ant bait trap is for outdoor use

        A:  I have used a large container the next season but it does not seem to be as attractive to the nest. Just my observation not a study.

        by|May 18, 2021

        A:  This is my experience with this product. I don't use a whole bottle of it in one season so I make sure the lid is tightly secure and store it in a cool dry place. I have used it for three seasons and it work just as good three seasons later as the first. This will be my fourth season and I'll be using it up this go round. Hope this helps.

        A:  I've used it for several years after opening with no apparent loss of effectiveness.

        A:  Short answers: Not immediately. And yes. Amdro loses its attractiveness to ants (and hence effectiveness) as it goes 'stale'. That said, I have opened and unopened Amdro in the barn that is several years old, and it still works. I always seal my open working container with a piece of plastic under the screw-on cap (like a sandwich bag, or piece of plastic wrapping) to keep moisture out. I have tried to carefully peel the existing foil seal and push it back into the cap, but my success on that procedure is limited.

          Q:How long is the wait until it's safe from rain?

          Answer This Question

          A:  I've only used it when it was dry. I put a few grains at the entrance to the ant colony, and the worker ants picked it up immediately and took it inside. If any grains remain outside within a few minutes, it probably means you've used too much. A small amount works well. I've only used it when the worker ants are moving around outside. I wouldn't use it when it is raining or wet.

            A:  Hello, The Amdro Fire Ant Bait granules are made from a corn grit granule. If that granule gets wet it may no longer be appealing to the ants and may be ignored. We do not recommend applying it when the ground is soaking wet or if heavy rains are expected. Thank you

              A:  Rain will wash it away. Wait for a dry spell. Ground should be dry with low chance of rain for at least 5 to 7 days. IMHO

              A:  I would not use it when rain is forecast within two or three days as it is meant to be taken into the nest dry.

              A:  Nope I don't think it would effect the tree.

              by|May 6, 2023

              A:  Don't know about a new planted tree, but I used it along a 15 ft bed that had bromeliad plants. It killed the red ants and the plants are all fine.

              A:  I have had to re-apply this ant bait as ants will relocate their mounts but it has not affected any vegetation, but please consult the manufacture's website or customer number.

                Does not work
                Applied product liberally to mound and to a long trail of ants proceeding from that mound. 24 hrs later, no change at all (except ants walking around Amdro granules). Applied Spectricide Fire Ant Mount Destroyer -- mound dead within 30 minutes. Bottle says "Guaranteed to work or your money back" but there is no method to redeem this guarantee. Hollow marketing ploy.

                  Amdro for fire ants
                  Read all the instructions before you plan your attack. Remember to not disturb the actual hill around the ant tunnels as you spread the Amdro around the area. Don't spread when you are going to water or rain is expected. Expect to repeat the treatment more than once. Some of the hills are gone in a matter of a few days, others are more persistent. There can be multiple queens in one ant hill and if they are not all dead, the ants won't be gone. Repeat the treatments in between your watering schedule as new hills reappear or persistent ones remain. Be vigilant, as the ants seems to spread rapidly if not destroyed. One hill last year turned into 8-10 this year. Buy the large container!
