Local sources of Antixx or Firefighter Fire Ant baits?
#10
If it works, why are you still making more batches of it?

I used Tango for six months.  Followed directions and proper intervals.  I saw no change. 

One treatment of Avant and they were gone the next day.

Started seeing some ants after about 3 months.  Did another treatment.

6 months later, same thing.

Then same thing 9 months after that.

The black ants took over from there and I haven't seen a fire ant here in over 2 years.

I was a big proponent of Tango when it first came out.  I no longer recommend it.  Other things work better and faster.

Antixx doesn't require the whole mixing thing, so if it works that would be great.

"Don't the poisons just kill the workers and the queen just keeps pumping 'em out?"

The key is that the poison bait has to be slow-acting enough to allow the workers to get it back to the nest before they start getting sick and won't share it.
