Description

Don't let fire ants keep you from enjoying your lawn. Stop the takeover by killing the queen and destroying the mound with Ortho® Orthene® Fire Ant Killer. This powerful, easy-to-apply solution destroys the mound and kills the queen to keep the colony from repopulating. It begins killing in 60 minutes, so you can get your yard back fast. One bottle can treat up to 162 mounds. Simply sprinkle powder over the mound and let it work its magic — no need to water-in. Use it as a mound treatment for home lawns and around ornamental plants (including flowers, shrubs, and trees). Follow label instructions to determine how much product is needed based on mound size. For best results, apply product while ants are active. To keep fire ants at bay, use as part of the Ortho® 2-Step System - use Ortho® Fire Ant Killer Broadcast Granules (sold separately) as a second step to prevent new mounds from forming for up to 6 months.

Q: I have used this product on an ant pile recently and white powder substance still is present after 3 days. Is this normal? And can my dog be around it since it had been days?

submitted by Nikkiiiii - 1 year ago

  • A: Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer1 is designed to release the active ingredients and not dissolve in water. The white substance you see, granules and the remaining carrier, will disappear over a period of several weeks under normal weather and watering conditions. Once the dust has settled on the ground it is ok for dogs and cats, to enter the area.

Q: Hi, I purchased yesterday and used for the first time. I know bottle says to stay away until dust goes away. My son likes to big hunt in the area where I had to use product? What would be a safe amount of time before he can bug hunt there again?

submitted by Pfsmom14 - 6 years ago

  • A: Thank you for your interest in Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer. For the product to be effective the application area needs to be left undisturbed until it is no longer visible. Once you can not see it anymore, it will be safe for him to play in the area. We encourage you to contact us at 877-220-3089 if there is anything else that we can assist you with.
