Licensed Florida pest control operator...We use this product here in Florida for small fire ant mounds. We use a product called top choice for
Removing fire ants completely from
Large property such as cow pastures...after 29 years in business
These are the only two products that work for our customers and we guarantee both ...
Never heard of Top Choice.
Looks like it takes a little longer to work, but maybe works longer.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Ant wars work just as well and no poison needed. All you need is two separate ant hills. Take a scoop from one and put it onto the hill of the other and vice-versa . They will battle until all ants from both hills are dead.
Badass momma thank u so much for this info. Ya all have a gd week n take care
I've heard that, but few people have ever told me it worked for them.
Be careful as you carry the scoop of ants... they will crawl up the shovel and GET you! 😎
who holds the shovel? Not me.
HerdDat 😎
@@BIGALTX spray WD-40 or lithium grease on the lower end of the shovel handle to prevent ants crawling up the handle
I was advised to put an old milk crate over the mounds where I put poison to keep other animals from getting into it
That might work for chickens!
I have had good success with boiling water. You need a large pot though +2 gallons. Helps if you make a whole in the center of the mound first.
I've heard of very few people that used boiling water successfully. Can't remember if I ever tried it or not.
Why? Because the risk of carrying boiling water around on 2 acres is much greater than using something like this.
Be careful. That's a good way to really hurt yourself. 😎
I use my crawfish pot. It gets even those monster mounds we get in Texas!
@@BIGALTX I use boiling water because I'm on 38 acres on the coast and can't use most pesticides because they'll runoff and kill ocean wildlife. I just haul the pot, the 5gal of water, and the propane rig to the location of the ant mound and boil it there.
@@NunYaO It does work very well, I live on the Texas Coast as well !
I have used boiling water and it has worked but it killed the grass around the mound and took few months to grow back. I use Orthene white powder now and it works well.
I took your word as a fellow Texas and ordered through your link. Thanks for the information!
Hope you like it!
Let me know how it works for you.
Thanks for another good option - I'm going to get some of this for other areas of my property. I found your youtube channel a couple of years ago looking for how to get rid of fire ants. Based on your video, I bought a gallon of Bifen I/T and it has worked well. I'm on 7.5 acres in the Texas hill country and we have those pesky suckers also. Amdro has worked for me, but the chickens would also try to eat it (but not the ants, dagnabbit). The Bifen worked great and no poisoned chickens. It also worked on chinch bugs in my small area of St Augustine. Love your videos, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
So did ambro work better for you or bifen?
@@Jimfabbio I like the bifen much more than the amdro. I also use it around the perimeter of my house. The gallon jug of bifen is lasting a long time too - I've only used about 1/2 of it in 2 years.
In Australia we can buy Bifenthrin in a granule (called Ant Killa). I've found it to work well. For organic control orange oil with a concentrated dish washing liquid works fast, but you need to stir up the next with a metal stick to get to the queen fast before they remove her.
Great tip. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻 😊
Bengal and Extinguish are very effective, broadcast Extinguish twice a year like fertilizer. Bengal is powder form sprinkled on the nest works in 24 hrs.
Good to know... thanks Roy!
Well shoot the bed! I'm in NE Texas and live with fifty billion trillion fire ants and when I saw this vlog, I immediately ordered the Advion. First time I put it out on some small to medium size mounds, it worked! yay!! But I have 2 larger mounds that I have treated 3 times now and they are still alive! :(
Give it a little time.
Make sure it doesn't get rained on... or a heavy dew.
I have a massive network of fire ants in my backyard. They are at my back door across my whole back wall. I followed their trail and it goes over 120 ft across the yard pas my fence line to some overgrowth area then I loose it. I think they may have a nest under a pile of old rubble I found. They are also in my tree. When I go to the rubble area the trails seem to go multiple directions like a highway and they even have trenches worn into the ground they have so much traffic. I’ll have to try this stuff.
It works for me.

@@BIGALTX thanks, it’s worth it instead of wasting money on multiple other brands that don’t work.
AMDRO
So i finally gave up and lost a 2 year battle with these ants. I tried everything on the shelf and even a few off Amazon. Nothing phased these ants. I finally called an exterminator and it turns out they weren’t fire ants but he thought they might be Argentine ants. The guy said he’d never seen anything like what I had going on. There not only made little highways but were also making paths up all the trees. Just every where you look just thousands of ants. He admitted he wasn’t even sure he could get rid of them. He also told me the advion and optiguard was the good stuff and they ate it like candy. He sprayed something all over the place and used granuals and some other stuff . One day later finally saw good results and by the end of day two they were almost completely gone.
Amdro works for me every time.
That's good, I just never had any success with it.
@@BIGALTX in fact. I just used it two days ago. Ants are dead.
👍
It's worked out for me on the bigger red and black ant's but I can't get rid of them little ones. Keep finding em all over my container garden. They aren't fire ants just them lil buggers🤬 does this work for them? Or just fire ants?
Hi from Southwest TN.
Thanks.
I just used your link to purchase this ant killer.
I will let you know how it works.
Well, thanks, and yes... let me know.
It works very well for me 👍😎
Is advion labeled for use around honeybees and other pests. Ps was in mineola the other day and stopped at Bob wells nursery. Knowledgeable people
I don't know, but since it's only used on the ground, I don't see honey bees being interested in it.
try orange oil mixed with dishwasher soap and then apply it...gone!!!
Thank you Alan
You are very welcome
I was told that when you sprinkle around the outside of the mound and not on the mound. Don't disturb the mound. There are feeder openings around the mounds.
Makes sense to me 👍
Well T.P., we got em up here in OK., best thing we found is Terro liquid, break off end of vial poke in center of mound let gravity take it down. Gone in 24 hrs. Guaranteed.
I'll check out Terro, thanks!
Thanks for this! I have tried all the non chemical tricks and nothing works
Here it is on Amazon... cheapest I've found: amzn.to/3ohFyNQ
I've heard if you allow orange peels to moss out the green and bluish stuff, then place those next to the ants, they will collect the moss which keeps its population in control. I haven't really tried it since I haven had any problems with ants, yet I do have a lot of rotten orange peels in the compost, it might be acting like a deterrent without me knowing.
👍😎
OH SOAP AND WATER MIXTURE DID GIVE ME TIME TO MOVE GROW BAG FROM PLACE TO PLACE FOR SHADE CONTROL;;;LOL;;;LEARNED THE SOAP METHOD WHILE CROPPIE FISHIN FROM BANK YEARS AGO;;;KEPT SOAP MIXTURE IN SPRAY BOTTLE FOR CAMP CLEANIN;;;ALL I HAD TO TRY TO DETER SO COULD FISH AND IT WORKED BUT HAD TO KEEP SPRAYIN OCCASIONALLY;;;LOL;;;LOTS ANT BITES AND FEW FISH;;;;
Hahaha. Thanks Ole Man!
Can you use this if they are in your planter pots
It’s my understanding that the label says don’t use in gardens. But, since this is a “Bait”… the ants will come looking for it.
So, if you sprinkle it around your containers, they will find it. That’s what I typically do. Around the containers or around the garden.
Does it kill the queen though.
I will try it for sure.
Here's the Link to a 2 LB canister of Advion Fire Ant Bait: amzn.to/3ohFyNQ
I also use corn meal. If you don’t get the queen and it moves keep putting corn meal on them. They will eventually die.
👍😎
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
I have the little ones that ones that are mean and attack in a blink of an eye...nasty critters for sure..
For sure...
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Here it is on Amazon... cheapest I've found: amzn.to/3ohFyNQ
dug my garden out tonight along the walls pulling the earth back and revealed holes in the brick work underneath , that houses colonies of ants
So if you have them in gardens try pulling the earth back anywhere where earth meets wall and paving slabs I found 6 nests in about an hour and a half in fact about 8 nests
Then when you find them use fair liquid with water in a pump spray bottle and it kills them in about 5 to ten seconds
Glad you found them… And exterminated them! 👍🏻 😊
@@BIGALTX so am I they have a nasty sting for a creature that's probably more than 1 million times smaller than me
I have 3 dogs and I am afraid of using topical. Does the warning label mention pets? thanks for the tip. We have plenty of the little buggers in Okla. Havagudun TP.
I really don't know.
Here's the label: www.syngentapmp.com/current-label/advion-fire-ant-bait
Is it necessary to put this on the mound/colony? The red ants I have are usually under nesting flat objects like a concrete slab, piece of tar paper, or in vegetation like leaf mulch etc and can be difficult to find. However, they seem to be everywhere--ie can't sit on my lawn for long without getting stung. So, if I just put the bait where ants seem to be moving around will they transport it back to the colony? Also, concerned about my two dogs and cat. What is a good approach--perhaps put it on a surface that can be removed later like a piece of tarp, or plywood?
No, you do not have to put it directly on the mound. This is a “bait“… Meaning they come looking for it. It’s a food source for them, and they take it back to the mound to kill the queen.
Works pretty good.
I have a link to it below the video. I would appreciate it if you would use it.
ADVION sold on Amazon $49.95
Yep. It’s gone up a little bit, but it sure works.
Re the headline, how the ferk can you kill something not dead?
Does this work on regular ants? We are over run outside by all kinds & size ants in NE Arizona, on clay & sand land.
They climb up everything to get into all of my hummingbird feeders. I put fresh fruit, vegtables, oatmeal & water for the wild rabbits, chipmunks & birds but they have to fight off the ants while they eat. (It is funny to watch the oatmeal walk away 1 piece at a time across our dirt driveway to their nest.)
Dont like to use Raid because the lizard eat the ants & it is too expensive.
Help!?!?
I really don’t know if it’s for anything except fire ants.
But, in Arizona, I think you DO have fire ants. The northern states don’t, but I would imagine you do.
@@BIGALTX
Yes AZ does have Fire Ants but we are lucky because not any where around us.
Just thousands upon thousands of the micro small, small, medium, large & huge ant mound large in all different colors.
There rarely travel in single lines. It is more like a couple inch wide path of them up to a foot wide carpet making the ground look alive.
I did the constant dusting with Diamataus Earth like 50ft all the way around our home & driveway. Thru the spring, summer & fall. I went thru a huge bag I got at the feed store. Slowed them down a little.
Tried the Borax & Sugar mix, tried the solid & liquid ant baits, tried boiling water & tried lighting them on fire.
Can't move because we spent all our money buying a couple acres here when Covid hit because I'm disabled & can't get sick.
Will take advice from anyone with good ideas. I read the answer back comments if sent to me.
Thank you!
@@loridyson569 Hopefully someone can comment and help you... alan
Now what you just said is very interesting an ant ness in a chicken yard... you must have weird chickens or ants are friends with the chickens. All my dad and uncles always done was let the chicken eat the ants and they will even dig for them.
Funny you said that…😆… My chickens refused to eat fire ants…. and I thought chickens ate pretty much everything that moved. But they would not eat ants…even those little black piss ants.
@@TexasMyTexas Interesting to know for sure. Is it because they are trained on dead food and that is the custom or do they eat other insects. Kill a few ants and see if they will eat dead ants when you throw them done on the ground.
Where i'm from they eat ants but we don't have fir ants and they will termites as well.
@@antiowarr9467 I don’t think so…. I mean I’ve seen mine eat “dead” and living food… even small frogs before…gruesome. 😵 I always wondered if they would get a sting from the fire ant… cause they have a real nasty bite. And you don’t know they’re all over your feet and hands until you start feeling the sting. I hate fire ants with every fiber of my being…😤
@@TexasMyTexas lol lol My first encounter happened when I was on vacation and was helping a friend of mind install a new fence. lol lol Little buggers all I got to say...lol
I don't think I've EVER seen a chicken eat a fire ant.
They must sting their throats on the way down 😎
Have you tried honey and borax?
No, I haven't
Honey would *_absolutely_* attract bees.
I don't know if the borax is harmful to bees or not.
@@BIGALTX I’m sure it would be bad for bees. Didn’t know you kept bees. I know it worked great for our ant problem. They weren’t fire ants .
Ortho Orthene works. I have been using it for 25+ years.
That is pretty potent stuff. Don’t get downwind of it.
Orthene has less movement through the soil and a faster half life.
We also use orthene
I used Orthene for YEARS... and it WILL get the fire ants.
But, it is sooooo toxic... and such a *fine* powder.
I had to use it on a very calm day so it wouldn't blow back in my face.
A friend of mine got really sick using Orthene when he got a big whiff of it on a windy day.
So, be careful!
@@BIGALTX The LD50 for Acephate and Indoxacarb are about the same. I will give you that the granuals you are using are much much less toxic as the percent of active ingredient is MUCH smaller. But it sticks around for a lot longer. Yes it's a gamble either way.
@@BIGALTX yes it is VERY toxic and we are careful. It is almost never windy in Florida.
Saw Advion on E-Bay for $45 for 2 pounds with free shipping.
It's $2 cheaper on Amazon: amzn.to/3ohFyNQ
@@BIGALTX The reason I mentioned the price is because around 4:50 into your video, you mentioned (twice) that the price was about $40.00 for your container which was also 2 pounds.
What do you have for bagworms?
Never heard of 'em... so...I don't know :)
Thanks for sharing. I hate fire 🐜.
👍😎
diatomaceous earth works till it rains.
It never worked for me.
I bought 100 LBS of it years ago!
I haven't had any luck with DE here in West Texas. Yet 🙄
import a pet ant eater.
Then it would get too fat... then just lazy... and the ants would just come back
hahaha 😎
I have armadillos but all they do is dig up the yard. They don't ever get the queen.
Best method was the old tried and true Chloradane. Sadly it was outlawed back in the day.
Chlordane will kill the Devil himself.
Sad when they banned it here.
Oil or gasoline?
Ethanol?
If you have lots of ant hills ..tried professional didnt work..in meantime..I havent mowed for over a month...Do you NOT MOW before you treat ants!?? I also have fire ants afraid to disturb with mower ir trimmer...but my yard is over grown! Please help
If you disturb the nest enough they'll move. Modern fire ant nests are housing multiple queens today.
Good to know, thanks
I love his accent!!!
What accent?!?! 😊
My problem is I don't see any mounds at all but the ants are all over the place. You can't step outside without getting stung at least once if you stand still for a couple minutes, sometimes even if you don't stand still.
Some are living in my walls. So I can't bait them with that inside, right?
Fireants don't usually come inside so not sure if that's what they are.
You can bait around the outside of the house. That would probably get them
If they are not fireants, this product may not work on them
Does this actually kill all the ants or just the queen? Do the ants go somewhere else?
Seems to kill the queen, which kills the mound. I’ve been very pleased with the results.
Have you tried the borax and sugar method?
Not sure about that one, but I've tried several "organic" methods without success.
I did it took several times but I think it finally worked, after I poured boiling water and then Amdro around the mound. I have these tiny ants all over the yard I can't seem to get rid of. I don't like using the chemicals cause I have dogs and cats outside. I try the bait in places the animals can't get into it.
Have you tried a 2 liter bottle?
No, I haven't.
How does that work?
@@BIGALTX supposedly if you take a 2 liter coke bottle about half full of water (or was it coke?) and bury it up to the rim they will crawl inside and drown. Since fire ants collect their dead, one right after the other will go in looking for the dead ones and all die. A guy that I knew who was a Mackinaw Indian told me that about 20 years ago. I've never tried it. I just leave fire ants alone. I've always noticed that they were really busy doing things that are usually more beneficial to me than harmful if I just watch where I step. They usually finish their business and go somewhere else. Besides, I thought it was kind of a lousy way to exploit an honorable trait of another living being. I've heard people say that pouring gasoline down their holes and setting them on fire is especially effective too. IDK. At least it won't make the frogs gay.
@@rehoboth_farm
HAHAHA!
AN EVEN EASIER METHOD:
Get you a bottle of orange oil. Mix about an ounce of orange oil with an ounce of Dawn liquid dish soap and some warm water to make approximately half a gallon and pour that right on top of the mound.
Within minutes, the entire mound will be dead.
This won't hurt anything but the ants and it smells nice too.
Interesting, thanks!
This worked for me very, very well! Shocked actually. Learned about it from the Dirt Doctor. I had non-ionic surfactant which I used instead of Dawn. Poked a hole in the middle as deep as it would go and poured 1 gallon of diluted orange oil slowly then poured another gallon around the edge of a large circle. It will kill the bacteria in the soil but you follow up with molasses and compost tea to bring the soil life back into the soil.
Great I need this SC is all fire ants....
Yep.. not sure exactly how far north they go.
Here's the Link to a 2 LB canister of Advion Fire Ant Bait: amzn.to/3ohFyNQ
If it gets rid of them then why do you still have them? Just asking.
I have 17 acres but only treat the 2 acres I live and garden on (can't afford to treat all of my land)
So, I don't treat the other 15 acres.
There are a lot of mounds on the 15 untreated acres and they move in on the yard from time to time.
TP, try using some TP pee on them, three "applications" usually does it, I've killed a big 18 inch mound just two weeks ago. Aside from that, talstar is my nuclear bomb, or DE around my Okra, which they seem to love
I've peed over many mounds with no effect... except for the relief on my kidneys 😎
Talstar is pretty poisonous
You rock
Thanks! 😍👍
amazon has it
Yes they do.
Here's the link: amzn.to/4621nnN
Dragon flys love eating
ants and armadillo as well.
👍😎
That is TOO EXPENSIVE!!! Here is a better, natural killer that you can watch the ants die immediately! Out of 30 mounds, I have had only one that I had to retreat and it died too! This is far better for your garden!
First: Do NOT disturb the nest until you treat it!
Mix 1.5 ounces of orange oil and 3 ounces of the Dawn into 1 gallon of water, and 2.11 ounces of orange oil to 1 gallon of water. Apply as a mound drench during early morning or late afternoon hours of the day, which is when the fire ants are most likely to be home.
Pur on the mound and watch them immediately panic and die! Safe, effective and so much cheaper.
Glad it worked for you, but I've tried several organic methods.
Orange oil, molasses, DE... lots of stuff, with no success.
That picture is not a fire ant by the way
Ha ha ha… Google images thinks it is 😊
Where do you get ? I hate fire ants
You can't find it at Lowes, etc.
Either a big chemical store, or Amazon.
