Customer Reviews for Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait

This is the best fire ant treatment. Over the years I've tried everything on the market to kill those horrible fire ants. I didn't realize until my husband got stung on the wrist and red streaks started running up his arm that they can carry streptococcus! He had to take a Zip pack of antibiotics. This meant war. I ordered the Extinguish Plus and I'm impressed how this product works. Just a 1 or 2 tablespoon around the mound and in a few days the mound is empty of ants. What's even more fun is to locate their "pantry door" and put the granules close to it. They act like kids in a candy store. I love watching the little buggers grabbing these yellow chunks and running down the hole to feed their colony. The "pantry door" isn't always easy to find. It can be 15' away from the mound. The ants were even killing seedlings in my garden. I put a line around the perimeter of the beds last week and they're gone. Well worth the money considering some poisons (Acephate} stink to high heaven. Extinguish and Extinguish Plus have a pleasant odor that's barely detectable. I highly recommend this to everyone with those nasty creatures on their property.

Florida: My yard was overrun with fire ants, it was actually comical how ridiculous the problem was. One week after spreading over the whole yard the problem was gone! Surprising how well and fast it worked.

This stuff is fantastic. In Florida after a goid rain the ants build condominiums in the yard and this killer takes care of them.

Absolutely amazing. It got rid of all my fire ants in 3 days. Fire ants that I've been trying to get under control for years. I used it very sparingly with great results so it should last throughout the Florida summer.

This product is great. The ants ate it all up and within 8 days they were dead. I dug the mounts up six inches below the surface and no signs of ants. I give this product 5 stars

We can't eliminate the fire ants from the planet but this stuff sure is effective on our property. Sure, from year to year, they return. But as a satisfied customer, I do too.

Get the buggers! We have maybe 4 acres of Bermuda around the house, while cutting the grass I dropped a little bit on each mound and stabbed the mound with a shovel making them all come. Went back and broadcast spread over. They are gone, and they were everywhere. There are a couple mounds in the Woodline that I originally missed that are still active but at least 40 mounds I hit are decimated! Genocide is my jam! Felt like Ender!

Great product, it's a little pricey but you only apply twice a year. It doesn't take much and you want to make sure ants are forging and won't get rain for a couple days.

The Extinguish fire ant bait is very attractive to the fire ants, they readily pick it up in their foraging. If they pick it up, that's most of the game. I don't believe they make sidewalks or snow cones with it down in their mounds. It takes awhile for the poison to be effective, but that's all to the good; it will allow a larger dispersal. If, as it is believed, there are multiple queen, "super mounds", this should allow it to be even more advantageous in the elimination of them.

Found DoMyOwn on line and was highly impressed with their line of products and complete information layout of such. I have sprayed a few times for ant control wich would limit activity for a while but always came back soon after. Thought I'd give Extinguish plus a try and it's been about 3 weeks now and it seems to be working well... The main thing with this bait is killing the egg cycle and thinning these ants out... we'll see. Will be dealing again with this company.. Thanks !!

Great product for long term control.

It will kill 100% in the treated area, but it will not be over night. I treated the front half of my property last spring. Did a broadcast over the area and spot treatment on known mounds. Saw most mounds dead in days but still has some survivors that would show after rains. Mid summer I realized I was not seeing any more mounds. Doing it again this year over all my cleared property and only doing broadcast to maintain.

Bought this to eliminate fire ants in my pastures. A little early to tell but as it takes time to work.

I sprinkled a bit on and around a harvester ant pile and the next day, their were ant bodies all over around the opening. The second day they were all dead. I kicked the top off a fire ant nest and sprinkled a small amount on the nest. The next day, they were dead! This product works great. I highly recommend it for ant control.

This stuff is just fantastic! I place it in all my pastures and the next day the ants are gone. Plus they'll stay gone! I can't tell you what a relief this as I've inadvertently stepped in ant hills in the past. DoMyOwn quickly ships and has great customer service!

Mu sister got me to try this stuff thee or four years ago. The only knock is the price. Local farm stores get around $22.50 per 1.5, $60 for 4.5#. Not much better here but some. I shoulda waited for the other source to restock. That said, OA i'm a satisfied customer.

I purchased this product after my pest guy suggested it. I was being overrun by fire ants on our property this year. I followed instruction to a tee including the potato chip test. I used a hand spreader set on the lowest setting and covered the entire acre with a brisk walk. This product eliminated more than half the ants and continues to stay steady. I will be purchasing this again in spring through domyown.com.

I was tired of products that I call "movers". Products that kill some fire ants and the others move 5 ft. over and start a new mound. So I called Clemson's Ag. Department looking for answers. My lawn is Centipede (turf grass), so I am always concerned when using any product on my lawn. I call Extinguish Plus magic in a jug, as it will take out a whole colony, including the queen (some mounds may have a dozen queens) in around 3 to 4 days. It does not kill ants like a pesticide, it works more like borax acid that we use in the house on those tiny little piss ants that somehow always finds their way into the house. It wreaks havoc within their digestive systems and gradually kills them from the inside out. I get better results if applied 24 hours or more before rain is expected. I have never treated my whole lawn, but I treat in areas where they tend to show up and spot treat as needed (colonies search for food, water, and cooler temperatures). I have a little over an acre and 4.5 lbs has lasted for over two years. Don't over apply, because you are wasting product. For the average mound, a hand full is too much. I have on occasion had to treat a mound twice. In those cases it was due to a deep depth of the mound or unexpected rain. You can control fire ants if you have the right products. Extinguish Plus is always in my arsenal and it is worth the price.

This is the one and only product I recommend for fire ants. It is expensive, but you will not be disappointed no matter how many or few you may have. They will take over do I say keep this on hand and any time you notice a mound take care of it. I also put this out over my yard in very small amounts to keep them from moving to another area once I notice. I cannot day enough wonderful things about this product! Also, it's safe for at animal they may eat it.

This ant bait does kill or reduce mounds quickly. Some bigger mounds may have to have a repeat application. DoMyOwn did a Great job of getting my order sent quickly to me. I would definitely buy from them again.

The product works very well but you will likely have to repeat treatment every 3-4 months based on my experience.

We moved to South Carolina from Pennsylvania 1 year ago so this is our first experience with fire ants. I always thought that they were really big. After working around the landscaping I soon found out they are tiny and have a big painful sting. We get mounds of colony's throughout the yard and landscaping. Our pest control people charge over $150.00 to treat the property, about 1/3 acre. I have used DO MY OWN back in Pennsylvania for bee and wasp control and loved how effective it was so I decided to try their product on the fire ants. I have been using the EXTINGUISH PLUS FIRE ANT BAIT now for a couple of weeks following the instructions and it works as advertised and for a lot less than professional exterminators.

I have been fighting fire ants for years with no success! I would get rid of a dozen mounds just for a few dozen to pop up. I finally got extinguish plus fire ant bait, and followed the instructions on this website. I waited till a warm day in the Spring, and put out a potato chip in the yard to see if the ants were forging-- They were. I then spread this poison across my 5 acre yard. I monitored the ants for the next couple of days. The same day I put the bait out, they were carrying it back to their beds. I went out the next day and poked some of the beds, sure and behold their tunnels were filled with the poison they collected. A few days after I noticed that there were many dead ants the mound had gathered outside of the bed as well as the bait that they realized was killing them. It was too late at that point. Every single mound was gone and then for the rest of the summer I didnt have any mound appear. Not till it was almost fall. I now got more and placed it out and once again, no ants. I will use this bait from now on!!

Ordered this product to get rid of lots of fire ants working behind our lanaii cage. Soon after applying, I noticed a quiet scene of no more ant activity. Thanks a lot. Mary Jo, Estero, Florida
