About This Tool

There are dozens of registered fire ant insecticides for turf, ornamentals, landscape and nursery sites. Some are baits, some are direct poisons, some are for mound treatment and some are for broadcast, some are for licensed applicators only. This tool is designed to help the applicator, whether a homeowner or professional, determine which products are suitable for a particular site.

Use this tool to select a site where you wish to treat for fire ants. Products will be listed that may be used on that site. Do not use any products around fruits and vegetables unless labelled for such. Cost of application can vary greatly so compare prices.
