Yep, been using bifen granules the past 3 years solely on high areas in my yard. One application per year works for me. I apply it with a Scotts "walk-behind" spreader.
I do the granules in the spring and then just spray talstar the rest of the year.
Seems to work.

Fire ants are invasive. To not kill them makes you a Communist traitor to your country. They're in the same pile as European Starlings and House Sparrows.
Spot treating mounds and protecting your home via foundation treatment and such is a different approach than regularly broadcasting wide-spectrum insecticides on your property, trees, and shrubs.

Hand full of BiFen on the mounds kills them dead. That's what we use.

I’ve used Andro this season and 4 mounds are gone

I hate fire ants with a fiery passion but I can’t bring myself to do a broadcast treatment of pesticide. I spot treat only. Too many good bugs.

I put out Talstar XTRA granular on 30+ mounds at my farm this weekend. Have somewhere around 1000 more mounds to hit but its a start.
