Killing of fire ants permanently

1 Ortho Orene Fire Ant Kkiller
Best Ortho Orthene Fire Ant KillerThis bottle of Fire Ant Killer is mainly designed for ornamental plants and lawns. A good thing about Ortho Orene is that it does not require water to kill and is very easy to use. Just one tablespoon of dry powder over the mound is enough to kill the queen of the Fire Ants. Once the queen is taken care of, we can be sure of no re infestation. The queen usually dies within 3 days and the effect lasts for 6 months or more. The composition of this Fire Ant killer is 50% Acephate and it can treat up to 162 mounds. The time for active effect is few minutes and it works well against Red harvester Ants too.

     Pros:

The Ortho Orene has a very long lasting effect. That is for 6 months or more.
The action of this insecticide is pretty fast compared to the other models
We do not need to mix the granules of Ortho Orene with mater before pouring it.
     Cons:

When applying the insecticide, it should be applied directly onto the mound.
At times, the product is kind of difficult to apply
The granules of Ortho Orene are harmful for other plants and animals and may even kill or harm it.



2. Advion Ant Gel Insecticide
Advion fire ant bait is one of the best in the world. This is a four pack, and it works as an attractant that lures in all types of ants. Since ants love sweets, this is a sweet feeder that is odorless.

The goal is to place the gel in an area where the ants will take the bait and bring it back to their colony.



DuPont Professional Products offers a plunger with this product, and it is simple to use:

Place bait in key areas where the ants traverse
You can use the plunger to get into tough cracks and crevices, too. The rest is up to the ants. These little insects will feed on the gel, bring it back to share, and kill their entire colony. Ants flock to the bait, and it’s a lot more potent than borax.

When using this product, try to not kill any ants for a few weeks, as it takes time to get into the colony and kill all ants. If possible, place the bait next to the colony to draw out ants and lead to a mass killing.
