Product Q&A

Answer:

Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer is not labeled to be used in pastures. We would recommend using Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait. A broadcast treatment across the entire area would be best so that the fire ants do not just move their mounds to other areas. If you do an individual mound treatment, be sure to treat at least three feet out as well. There are no grazing restrictions for companion animals, such as horses, llamas, etc. You will use 1.5-2 lbs. per acre for a broadcast application and 2-5 tablespoons for individual mounds. While spring and fall are the best time to apply the bait, you may apply as needed, when ants are active and foraging (usually early morning or late afternoon with soil temperatures above 60 F). **Ants must be foraging for this to work. You should not apply this product in the late fall or winter if ants are not foraging: it will not work! Also, bait must remain dry. Do not apply if it is going to rain within 8 hours.
