Why settle for partial control when you can control the entire colony? Advion Fire Ant Bait controls the entire colony of fire ants, pavement ants, or big-headed ants in just 24 to 74 hours. In addition, Advion is the ideal choice for broadcast applications or for treating fire ant mounds directly.
Up to 4 applications of Advion Fire Ant Bait may be applied per year. These are generally applied at 12 to 16 week intervals. However, rainfall or irrigation within 2 to 3 hours after application may reduce the effectiveness of Advion Fire Ant Bait and a repeat application within 7 days may be necessary to achieve the desired level of control.

Advion Fire Ant Bait is a granular insecticide bait labeled to control Imported Fire Ants, Big-Headed Ants, and Pavement Ants. Designed for use in lawns, landscapes, and other outdoor areas, the bait helps target ant colonies and provides an effective solution for managing active infestations and maintaining long-term ant control.
Advion Fire Ant Bait is labeled to control:
For best results, apply the bait when ants are actively foraging and follow all label directions regarding application rates and timing.
Advion Fire Ant Bait works best when fire ants are actively foraging, which typically occurs during spring, summer, and early fall. For optimal results, apply the bait when soil surface temperatures are above 60°F, and ant activity is high.
Apply the bait during dry weather conditions and avoid applications when the treatment area is wet from rainfall, irrigation, or heavy dew. Applying the bait when ants are actively searching for food helps improve bait acceptance and overall colony control.
Advion Fire Ant Bait can be applied in a variety of outdoor locations where fire ants are active, including:
The product may be used as a broadcast treatment over larger areas or as a targeted mound treatment around individual fire ant mounds. This flexibility makes Advion Fire Ant Bait an excellent option for both localized and property-wide fire ant control.
Always follow the product label for complete site-use directions.
Advion Fire Ant Bait is intended to be collected by foraging fire ants shortly after application. Performance depends on factors such as ant activity, weather conditions, and application timing.
Applying the bait when ants are actively foraging and environmental conditions are favorable helps maximize effectiveness. For ongoing management, repeat applications may be made according to label directions.
Like most fire ant bait products, Advion Fire Ant Bait may require multiple applications throughout the year for ongoing control.
Up to four applications per year can be made, typically at 12- to 16-week intervals, depending on fire ant pressure and environmental conditions. Routine applications can help maintain long-term control of active colonies.
Rainfall or irrigation within 2 to 3 hours after application may reduce the effectiveness of Advion Fire Ant Bait by limiting the amount of bait collected by foraging ants.
If significant rainfall or watering occurs shortly after treatment, a repeat application within 7 days may be necessary to achieve the desired level of ant control. For best results, allow ants sufficient time to collect the bait before rainfall or irrigation occurs.
No. A broadcast spreader is not required to apply Advion Fire Ant Bait. Many homeowners successfully apply the bait by hand around active fire ant mounds.
If you are treating larger areas, you may use a broadcast spreader, hand spreader, or fertilizer spreader as long as it can be calibrated to distribute the low application rate required for the product. Because Advion Fire Ant Bait is applied at very low rates, begin with the lowest spreader setting and adjust as needed to achieve even coverage.
Whether applying by hand or with a spreader, always follow the application instructions on the product label for best results.
A 2-pound container of Advion Fire Ant Bait covers more than one acre when applied according to label directions.
At the labeled broadcast application rate of approximately 1.5 pounds per acre, a single container provides enough product to treat large lawns, landscapes, and other outdoor areas affected by fire ants.
Advion Fire Ant Bait can be applied as a broadcast treatment across large areas or as a targeted application around individual fire ant mounds.
Broadcast Treatments: Make application with broadcast equipment capable of applying 1.5 pounds of Advion Fire Ant Bait per acre. Calibrate and adjust equipment prior to application to ensure that the proper rate of product will be applied. Retreat after 12-16 weeks if needed.
Individual Mound Treatments: Do not disturb the mound. Do not apply to the tops of mounds. Apply 4 level tablespoons (0.5 oz) of Advion Fire Ant bait per mound, uniformly distributing the product 3-4 feet around the mound. Retreat after 12-16 weeks if needed.
For best results, apply the bait when fire ants are actively foraging and always follow the application instructions on the product label.
Advion Fire Ant Bait has a shelf life of approximately 2 years when unopened and stored in its original container.
Once opened, the product should be used within 6 months for optimal performance. Store the bait in a cool, dry location and keep the container tightly sealed to help maintain freshness and attractiveness to foraging fire ants.
Advion Fire Ant Bait

We used this for the first time on our home in Florida. When we arrived there were several new areas of infestation. We checked the weather forecast to avoid rain and using a hand spreader treated the entire yard. It was immediate that the ants starting taking the small pieces into their home. Ants were gone overnight. Three days later we had a heavy rain (usually we would have several new hills after a rain) and we only noticed one new hill on the periphery of our treatment area. No new areas have occurred yet and it has been almost a month.

Advion Fire Ant Bait

I recently moved into a new house in southwest Florida. I immediately noticed numerous fire ant hills all around my yard and house. I had fire ant hills near one side of the house and the colony was so large that even my grass was not growing in that are because all of the mounds. Tired of being bit and my yard looking horrible I invested in Advion Fire Ant Bait through DoMyOWnPestControl.com. I received the product and followed its directions. Sounds too good to be true but I noticed results within one day. After about a week I noticed one active mound and I applied a little more Advion in that area. I am now in my opinion fire ant free in my yard. I recently mowed my yard with my push mower and anybody that push mows their grass pretty much sees their whole lawn! I am very pleased to have my yard back.

This stuff is great

I read the reviews and thought I would give this product a try. I used to use the white powdery crap in the brown container with the yellow lid that you can buy at the big home center stores. You'd find lots of dead ants about half an hour after you sprinkled it on the mound, but there would always be another mound pop back up in the same general area a few weeks later. It seemed to just make them move to a new spot and build another mound. Since we moved into our house about 5 years ago, there has always been a fire ant mound by the lid to the septic tank, and another one around the edge of the concrete on our back patio. I'd sprinkle the white powdery crap on them and they would go away for a bit, then there would be a new mound a few feet away. I purchased some Advion bait this past spring and sprinkled it around these mounds without disturbing them like the directions say, and plenty of others that I found around our 1 acre lot. The mounds are all gone now and have not popped back up in the same general area. This stuff works great and I recommend it to others.

Very fast shipping. Applied the product according to directions and within 3-4 days ants were gone. I have 2.5 acre yard and had a very heavy infestation of fire ants, other products seemed only to make the mounds move a few feet. Great product

No problem anymore

I was very skeptical at first after reading the claims for this product, but my ant problem was growing bigger and I had to do something. To make a long story short, this is one fire ant bait that actually works. I'm very pleased.

A friend in the profession told me that Advion is the only product that works. Just moved to Texas, and am unfamiliar with fire ants. Brand new build, 5000sqft, infestation was in my son's room on the first floor. I had a professional service do the perimeter and the inside of my home. I would like to treat my entire yard, but after reading the label and MSDS sheet, I have concern for my son and my two small dogs. Thank you for any assistance on my question, and I'm open to any hints on how best to apply!

Do we need to use a broadcast spreader to apply the Advion Fire Ant Bait, or can we just sprinkle it on/around the mounds? Affordability of a spreader is our main issue with purchasing one. We do have a fertilizer/weedandfeed spreader, can we use that to apply the Advion Fire Ant Bait?

Advion Fire Ant Bait should not be used on an area of edible vegetation. We recommend that you treat outside the dripline of the garden only.
