    Q
    How long does Hi-Yield Ant Killer Granules take to kill the ants?
    A

    Hi-Yield Ant Killer Granules contain bifenthrin, which is an insecticide that starts killing insects on contact and then has a residual for several weeks after the application has dried. Depending on the size and health of the individual ants, they can start dying within minutes. Keep in mind that this insecticide is not a transfer product, so if you are treating ant mounds, then you need to follow the label directions for direct mound drenching.

    Q
    Can you use Hi-Yield Ant Killer Granules around chickrns?
    A

    The Hi Yield Ant Killer Granules are not labeled for use in grazing areas or where animals such as chickens would peck the ground and risk ingesting the chemical. You may want to consider a spray option instead so there are no loose granules on the surface for them to pick up, or use outdoor ant baiting in stations in the area to allow the ants only to have access to the chemical.

    Q
    Will Hi-Yield Ant Killer Granules kill the colony or does it only kill the ants that come in contact with it?
    I have a bunch of little black ants outside trekking their way into the house. I want to get the colony and queen not just kill in contact. Should I bait them so they take that back to the colony and then apply this as a barrier and control outside? Please advise, thank you!!
    A

    Hi-Yield Ant Killer Granules will only kill ants that contact a treated area, it does not get carried back/transfered to others.  Maxforce Complete Granular Bait would be a better option for baiting to kill the colony.  Just do not apply the 2 in the same areas as the HiYield can contaminate the bait.
