Amdro Pro Fire Ant Bait

Product Information

Amdro Pro Fire Ant Bait is a bait which is highly attractive to imported and native fire ants and other ants. Worker ants carry the bait into the mound as food for the colony. The bait is eaten, fed to the queen, and the mound is destroyed. Amdro Pro starts to kill ants immediately. In about a week the queen is dead, destroying the mound. Further information regarding ants can be obtained from your Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service.

Amdro Pro controls:

Imported fire ants, little fire ants, native fire ants, and other ants, such as harvester ants and bigheaded ants.

Indoor Uses

Amdro Pro Fire Ant Bait may be applied in homes, residential, commercial, and other structures, and in the nonfood/nonfeed areas of institutional, warehousing, and commercial establishments, such as groceries and supermarkets, hotels and motels, hospitals and nursing homes, schools, laboratories, computer facilities, food storage areas, sewers, transportation equipment, pet shops or zoos, and in the inedible product areas of meat or poultry plants. Nonfood areas can include garbage rooms, lavatories, floor drains (to sewers), entries and vestibules, offices, locker rooms, machine rooms, boiler rooms, garages, mop closets, and storage (after canning or bottling).

In the home, all food processing surfaces and utensils must be covered during treatment or thoroughly washed before use. Cover or remove exposed food.

Using a duster or similar equipment, apply bait ONLY into cracks and crevices or other inaccessible areas such as, but not limited to, structural voids, unfinished attics, or crawl spaces. Apply 0.25 to 0.5 ounce per crack, crevice, or other inaccessible area where ants are entering the structure or where ants are nesting. Clean up any loose or excess bait. Apply evenly in unfinished attics and crawl spaces at a rate of 0.25 ounce per 100 square feet only if the space is secured or otherwise inaccessible to children or domestic animals.

Outdoor Uses

Amdro Pro may be applied outdoors on lawns, landscaped areas, golf courses, and other noncropland areas such as airports, roadsides, cemeteries, commercial grounds, parks, school grounds, picnic grounds, athletic fields, and other recreational areas, as well as on grounds surrounding poultry houses (excluding runs and ranges) or corrals and other animal holding areas. DO NOT expose animals to Amdro Pro granules.

Amdro Pro may be applied in and around container or field-grown ornamental and nonbearing nursery stock and on sod farms (commercial turf). Amdro Pro can also be applied to the soil around nonbearing fruit or nut trees. DO NOT harvest food/feed from nonbearing nursery stocks within 1 year of application.

DO NOT graze or feed lawn or sod clippings to livestock.

Apply when ants are actively foraging (typically when soil temperature is greater than 60° F). Test using a small amount of bait near a fire ant mound. Repeat applications as needed.
