Ok, I had 4 Rough Harvester ant mounds in my yard. I've tried twice before to kill them. This time I bought the product shown in this video. The ants were dead in 24-48 hours. The colonies were about 6 years old. AMAZING product! Thanks!

My ants just relocate 12 inches away when I use this product. Still hasn’t killed them, just makes them abandon the mound, and rebuild right beside it.

You should do a video on your most rain resistant varieties, it would be very helpful for your east coast viewers.

The challenge is keeping dogs away from the poison in the garden...

[garybarkley]

I’m definitely going to get some of that thanks for the heads up 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

DE has worked for me especially around dead tree stumps.

[DonnaMorrison-yz]

This stuff looks fantastic but I cannot find it on Amazon UK or anywhere else in UK. Can you supply it to UK ??

[tbirdsdign]

Thank you. What do you suggest if I have a whole acre of yard with nothing but
ant hills? Every inch is nest. Sandy soil with scarce grass bc of sandy soil. Thank you. New sub’r here. 👍🏻

Rather than a product, what about the active ingredient?
I'm in Aussie, and tree ants (weaver/green ants ) are a huge problem in the tropics. We don't have the same brands as America.
I have found Fipronil used in dog and cat tick gels is deadly awesome. Mix a tube of dog tick thingie, with whatever the target ant eats ...
I did an entire Mango tree I couldn't climb within 24hrs. Just a few teaspoons of the tick treatment mixed with a half small tin of sardines.
Armageddon for green ants.
Mangoes are important in my neck of the bush : )

Going to pick this up today! Can’t wait to try it! I have a few ant colony in my backyard I live in the desert so I have different problems. Hope it works!

[annalawler]

I've poured vinegar and lemon juice on mounds in the garden and the ants are gone.

[AH-yrge]

What's your thoughts on using it around the trunk of your fig trees? Or in the container with the fig? Is this not poison that your tree will eat up?

[acidnut]

Is it ok to sprinkle where I see a line or worker ants? Because I dont know where their colony is. It is probably under my cement slabs in the garden since I always see tons of ants come up when I flood the cement area.

[HasanBabasi]

If they were in the center of my yard where it's clay and they aerate that would be one thing, but they are all on the sides of my foundation. Going to try this asap

[flintstonegirl]

Dumb question, because I know you probably wouldn't promote it if it was, but is it harmful to plants? I have a fire ant bed at the base of 1 of my pear trees, but am worried about putting anything on them because I don't want to hurt my tree. TIA

[DebraofSENC]

This video just came up on my feed. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been loading the fire ant beds down with Amdro, needlessly wasting it. Will use your tips from now on. It was getting really expensive!!!

[leaongat]

Does this help prevent them from coming in the house ?

[kathleenfannin]

Will this work for other types of ants besides fire ants? We have horrible ants that are similar to pharaoh ants.

[pekelopeter]

Thanks for the tip. I love your channel.

The active ingredient is 0.73% Hydramethylnon blended with some sort of corn grits. This is not a pesticide I'm familiar with.
