Questions & Answers
How many pounds are required to treat each mound?

Is this good for all ant/ant mounds or just fire ants
Asked by Taggylou June 19, 2020Ortho Fire Ant Killer Mound Treatment is labeled for fire ant mounds only. We cannot recommend it for anything other than applying to fire ant mounds.
Is this also working regular ants
Asked by Bocellis May 31, 2020Bocellis, the Ortho Fire Ant Mound Treatment is for fire ants only.
Is this safe to use in. lawn where pets play?
Asked by Kennybuddha April 15, 2020No. After following instructions correctly, my 6 month old dog got into the treated area and got horribly sick. Thankfully, the vet thinks he's going to make it, but I'm expecting a large bill, and my poor pup has been through something awful. It is IRRESPONSIBLE for the warnings on the back not to flat out say that this should not be used under any circumstances where pets play. They could easily add explicit text like that and refer customers to one of their products that is actually safe. I intend to contact the company directly and beg them to correct this, so other customers, their dogs and their children, don't have to go through this kind of ordeal.
Can you apply this product any time of year?
Asked by John November 13, 2019We appreciate your interest in Ortho Fire Ant Killer Mound Treatment. For best results, apply when temperatures are between 65° and 80°F, during the morning or late evening when it is cool and the ants are most active. Please contact us at 877-220-3089 if there is anything else we can help you with.

3 lb will treat how many mounds ?
Asked by Mila April 28, 2019I personally treated over 15 and still had some left over! Depends on the mound size I am sure but over 5 of my mounds were massive.
Do you have to apply water?
Asked by Sherry April 16, 2019Yes, after you spread the granules, you have to pour water on them. The instructions clarify how much water to granules.
Can you apply to hill/mound dry??
Asked by Jim April 4, 2019Yes you can, but in order for it to work and kill the mound water needs to be applied.
