We have many ant hills in our lawn, what would be the best product to use?
Demon Max is a great product that is labeled for ants (including fire ants). For general broadcast spraying in your lawn, you would mix at a rate of ½ ounce per gallon of water. For treating for fire ant mounds, per the product label you would want to use the Drench Method (Ant Mounds, Fire Ants): Apply 1-2 gal of 0.1?mon Max emulsion to each mound area by sprinkling the mound until it is wet. Treat a 2 ft diameter circle around the mound. For mounds larger than 12 inches, the higher volume and wider treatment diameter (up to 4 ft) may be needed. For best results, apply in cool weather, such as in early morning or late evening hours, but not in the heat of the day.
