Exactly how does Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer kill the fire ants?

Answer:

Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer contains acephate, which is an organophosphate insecticide.  When insects ingest it, their bodies turn the acephate into another stronger insecticide chemical called methamidophos, both of which affect the nervous system, causing over-activity in the nerves, muscles, or brain.
