Fire Ant Killer - Acephate 75 SP

Martins Fire Ant Killer works great! I removed the top lid and poked holes in the aluminum cover allowing me to shake the powder out onto the ant hills. I used it on Fire ants and large red Harvester ants. An hour later the ants were gone. Use caution, keep pets and children away! wear g!oves, don't breath in the powder, replace the metal lid over the aluminum lid and store it securely away. I put it in two zip lock bags and a 5 gallon bucket. It does smell but worth every cent. Easy to use.fast shipping, exactly as advertised.

This is AMAZING! We had fire ants so bad we couldn’t go outside in the yard and enjoy ourselves without getting bit from head to toe. A friend of my husband said it got rid of their roaches and I told my husband if it’ll kill roaches it’ll kill anything. We got it and applied it in the yard and we haven’t had to reapply it since. However be warned it smells like rank cabbage.

You want to rid anything from fire ants to roaches? This is IT. I 💯 Back this ....you Will see bugs run like heck to get away from this. Smells like rotten cabbage...but worth it, only smells for couple hours..let it settle..but you'll see whatever critter run for the hills on this stuff. I keep a can on hand now ...even if Don't have any critters.

This has a strong smell

There are a lot of products that say greyhound”kill the queen” but over the last 15 years I have found that most big box store products, like Ortho Orthene, are not effective. The same location comes back year after year, often multiple times in the same year.This product is different. #1 I notice that about 80-90% of the powder is picked up by the ants and taken into the nest. #2 the colony dies and new mounds do not reappear at the same location.Yes, Ants breed and spread so I need to treat the new arrivals. And, when it is wet, I use liquid Bifenthrin. But this product kills the colony.

Today my house started stinking. I was a Concerned. Is that mildew? Dead vermin? Wtf? I hope it’s not a gas leak!I go on a journey to locate the source of the smell.My mail is sitting in the entryway. Nothing fun so I didn’t open it earlier. And then I remember: I had ordered ant killer from the internet. Reviews say it stinks (as in it’s smelly) but I’m like, eh I have four cats and regularly use fish fertilizer on my plants. Country living prepared me for this.I open the box. Wrapped in layers of plastic is a sealed canister. That’s what stinks!Outside I open the canister.Coherent thought ceases.This is the worst smell I have EVER encountered. And I’ve dealt with some SMELLS in my life, let me tell you.I am so close to losing dinner. But the ants have to be eliminated. Get to sprinkling.It’s now 10x worse with the powder floating. Imagine a demon made of fermented fec*s bathed in 5 month old duck eggs stored in an infected skunk’s hind glands. That’s but a sampling of the scent that assaults my nerves.It bypasses the nose to directly manipulate the brain. I’m not sure if this stuff is made of Satan’s cologne or Satan’s colon.When I finish distributing the Powder of Lovecraft’s Sleep Paralysis Demon, I am covered in drool and tears from my body’s battle to keep down my dinner.Roommate is justifiably concerned.Deed done, ants expiring (from the stench or the pesticide, I’m not sure), I retreat to the filtered indoor air. After thoroughly irrigating my sinuses, huffing coffee beans, and sipping vinegar, I’m starting to recover.There’s only one smell I’ve ever endured which makes my stomach churn just remembering it, but this experience reminds me that life can always be worse.I’d rather stick my face in a bowl of fermented maggots feasting on gangrene than endure that again.In conclusion: the ants died immediately. Product recommended for COVID patients with an infestation.

I have tried all the big box store offerings and a number of rumor mill options before this product with little or temporary success. THIS product works. I've waited a month to review and it still seems to be effective. I've treated mounds at two properties and all were completely effective. I am not an entomology, so I can't confirm which ants I had, but they're gone. 👍🏻👍🏻

Pro: worksCon: smells horrible. (Even stored in a zipkock plastic bag in the garage)Will need to be reapplied.
