    Q
    Can this be used with a drop spreader? Have almost 2 acres with mounds every few feet, how much do I need?
    Mountains of SC, mostly red clay soil. Super rainy winter caused erosion that Fire Ant's have taken advantage of.
    A

    Yes, Ferti-Lome Come and Get It! Fire Ant Killer II can be applied via a spreader but does not list settings on the label as it usually just sprinkled in cups measurements. For broadcast application the product states: Use 1/3 to 2/3 cup for each 1000 sq ft, or 3 to 6 cups per 10,000 sq ft, or 2.5 to 5 lb per acre. Use higher rates for heavier infestations, faster activity, and greater overall control.

    Q
    Is Ferti-Lome Come and Get It! Fire Ant Killer II safe to use around honey bees?
    A

    Ferti-Lome Come and Get It! Fire Ant Killer II is a granule bait that should not harm bees. It contains an attractant that will only attract fire ants. However, if the bees were to land on the product there is a risk that could affect them but not likely. We would advise keeping it away from where they are pollinating if possible to reduce the risk
