Talstar is the winner. When we had that year of bad sod webworms, I broadcast my entire lawn with Talstar and I didn't see an ant pile in my yard for damn near two years after that.

Well that’s attributed to luck. Bifenthrin granules have a 3-4 month residual.

I’ve been using Amdro with success for 15 years. Past year it just hasn’t been effective.

Agree, I've used Talstar for years. Stuff works great.

This!!! it says fire ant I believe, but I use it on any mound and done. Maybe in 10 years I had a mound move on me twice I think. Good stuff

Maybe they have become smart enough not to eat it? Interesting.

I've tried this and it does work.

Taurus SC. It was recommended to me by a buddy of mine years ago who was in the pest control business, and it works better than anything I've ever used. I've recommended it to lots of folks and all have used it with great success. I've been buying it here:

This. In all seriousness, it is highly satisfying to blow those little frickers all over the place.
