Will Essentria IC3 kill fire ants? Will it kill the colony or just the ants that come into contact with it?

Answer:

Essentria IC3 can eliminate any type of ant crosses over treated areas. You should note that the product will not be carried back to the colony and transferred to other ants: only the ants that actually come in contact with treated areas will be eliminated. We do carry Taurus SC and Phantom which both work with a transfer effect and are labeled for most types of ants. If you would prefer to stick to all natural products you should consider using a combination of ant baits such as the Gourmet Ant Bait Gel and the Intice 10 Perimeter Bait. Baits will be picked up by the foraging ants and carried back to the colony. After the infestation is gone you can follow up with the Essentria IC3 as a barrier spray around the exterior of your home to stop new ants from moving in.
