          A:  LindaB71, keep people and pets out of the treated area until the dust has settled. It's best to keep pets away from the mound until the ants have died.

            A:  This stuff works fast, keep dogs away for a couple of hours and it should be gone.

            by|Aug 10, 2022

            A:  Two or three days , our dog was curious while I was applying it. So I went outside with him to make sure he stayed out of the stuff whenever he had to use the bathroom.Then I knocked the mounds down with a rake. By that time most of the powder was gone . I wonder if the ants carry it into the mound because this happened without any rain.

            Horrible
            Burned the grass all around and did NOT kill the ants. Have used before with good results and no grass-killing, but this cannister completely burned the grass slightly wider than the product actually touched. And did absolutely nothing to the ants.

                smells like a dirty diaper
                Smells like a foety diaper left in a car in july.... but the price was right and it kills them dead. Heres a tip cut a small 1/4” wide 2” long opening in thr paper cover and it last lomger and comes out so much easier. Not mu else to say hope that helps i just sprinkle dust over the whole mound u til i csnt see it snymore DO NOT WATER and dont rake it sround jaut lay it down and leave it

                            Orthene by Ortho is pretty much the best method of ridding a yard of the useless Fire Ants, their queens, adjacent mounds, etc.
