Spectracide® One-Shot™ Fire Ant Killer controls fire ants up to 3 months with one application – and prevent new mounds from forming. The active ingredient kills worker ants slowly so they have time to take the bait back to the queen and kill the colony. This product is a bait, so you will initially see more ants. Decreased ant activity will be observed as soon as 24 hours after bait placement, and fire ant control will occur in as little as 48 hours after application. Use for broadcast or mound treatment – this 5 pound bag treats 10,000 square feet for broadcast treatment. Apply in early spring or summer at the first sign of fire ant activity, then again the fall to reduce the number of ants that return next spring.

For best results, apply Spectracide® One-Shot™ Fire Ant Killer in morning or evening hours. At these times, fire ants are actively foraging. Avoid watering or mowing the treated area for 24 hours after application to allow ants time to forage the bait and take it to the mound.

Environmental Hazards: This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 24 hours. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid runoff to water bodies or drainage systems. Do not apply to any impervious surfaces that may contact or lead directly to surface water, storm drains or urban runoff conveyance systems (gutters). Sweeping any product that lands on an impervious surface back onto pervious surfaces will prevent runoff to water bodies or drainage systems. Cover, incorporate or clean up granules that are spilled.
