Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer1, Kills the Queen and Destroys Mounds, Begins Working in 60 minutes, 12 oz., 2-Pack

Living in apartments complex it's hard to keep bugs away so I Purchased this to kill roaches and it works wonders. The smell is horrible for the 1st 3days but Im willing to deal as long as there are no roaches water bugs or ants. I used a piece of aluminum foil and made it into a bowl and placed around the house where I seen roaches.. kitchen sink corners an cabinets behind stove the bathroom under sink an behind toilet laundry room floor basically anywhere there is water also around my dogs water an food dish. Since I've use this product no sign of roaches for months I choose to replace the powder ever 2months meaning each hand made foil bowl I empty an replace power with new powder but it can last 4months I use the foil because it's hard to clean up with a broom. Hope this helps for the most part it's safe to use around pets an children just don't let them eat or touch it..

Este producto realmente cumple lo que promete. Tenía varios montículos de hormigas rojas en el jardín y estaba cansado de probar soluciones que no funcionaban del todo. Decidí probar este “Value Pack” de Ortho Orthene y fue la mejor decisión.✅ Lo que me gustó:• Comienza a hacer efecto en cuestión de minutos.• No necesita agua, solo se aplica el polvo directamente sobre la colonia.• Mata a la reina y elimina las colonias por completo.• El envase rinde mucho: pude tratar más de 10 montículos y aún tengo producto de sobra.• Ideal para uso exterior, especialmente en climas cálidos donde las hormigas son una plaga constante.Quiero especificar que lo compré primeramente para las cucarachas alemanas en casa y llevo 1 año sin ver ni rastro de ellas.⚠️ Recomendación:El olor es un poco fuerte, pero desaparece rápido.Estoy más que satisfecha con los resultados.

Unbelievable!! I'm a woman living alone for the first time and I'm in Florida. When the fire ants started crawling around all over the pavers next to the pool I was shocked! I thought they stayed in the grass. I panicked and immediately bought this highly rated product and prayed it would help. As soon as I got it I read the directions and loosely followed them. I started sprinkling this powder on the fire ant hills that were near the pool area. I used the whole container but I have not seen one fire ant since! I don't go in the grass. I expect to find them there, but they were all over the pavers! I could lay out and even had to worry about bites in the few steps to get to the pool! It worked better than expected and they were gone the next day! Kills quickly! Great value! There was enough to get all of those nasty ant hills, it probably would have lasted longer if I didn't put so much on, but the cost of this bottle to get rid of all of them is well worth it!! Good size bottle!

I have only had this a week and could barely use it due to rain. BUT, I truly hope it works as awful as it smells! I cannot stress this enough! I had used it and put the lid (securely) on it quickly because it immediately made me gag-badly. I stored the container in the basement waiting for dry weather and the next day I spent half a day trying to find a dead critter and checking sewer pipes because my entire basement smelled like death! Lol. Nope, just the innocent container sitting right where I left it. So just a warning to have an airtight container of some sort to place it in or you will have a nasty smell going on. I will update my review if it takes care of the ants I have been trying to kill. Good luck

The 15 minutes might be a but of an exaggeration, but it definitely kills the entire colony ober night. My yard was eat up with fire ant mounds, and I sprinkled enough to lightly cover the entire mound of each one, and the next day the mound was D-E-D. So it is confirmed this product works well at killing the ants. It didn't just make em.mobe to another location like some products do. My yard has remained fire ant free since I nuked all the mounds a week ago. Will keep a bag of this on hand at all times.

I have used few types and 3 I like a lot this is one of them but when you have fire ants in yard sometimes you seem to kill the immediate colony only to have another colony pop up few feet away but regardless of what I use this has been my experience , in time you do seem to kill them all but might take an entire bag as fire ants are pretty tough but yes it kills them .This kills the colony I put this over .

I have tried everything to control the ant problem in my back yard and around my in ground pool. This powder has worked very well so far. I think after a while they become immune… to be seem. Very strong odor, so I suggest wearing a mask. I sprinkled this around the perimeter of the pool and my house and watered it in.
