    Q
    Can Advion Fire Ant Bait be used on a garden plot before any plants go in the ground?
    Can Advion be broadcast several weeks before garden plants go in? If not, will spreading Advion around the outskirts of the garden dirt kill the ants (many small mounts) that are actually in the garden plot. Nothing is planted yet
    A

    Advion Fire Ant Bait can not be used in the soil where you are going to plant but can be used around the perimeter and will help with ants.

    Q
    What setting is used for a Scotts spreader for Advion Fire Ant Bait?
    A

    You do not have to have a broadcast spreader to apply Advion Fire Ant Bait though it can make the application a bit easier for you. You can simply just sprinkle the bait around (not on) the mounds as directed on the product label. As long as the spreader you have can be calibrated to spread the small amount needed per acre you could use it. Please contact the manfacturer of the spreader for specific settings.

    Q
    Can I use a hand spreader to apply Advion Fire Ant Bait?
    A

    Yes, you could potentially use a hand spreader to apply an ant bait such as Advion Fire Ant Bait. Since the rates for ant baits are very low, we recommend starting on the lowest setting on your spreader and then adjusting if needed.

  • Asked by Arianna from San Angelo

    Q
    How soon after applying Advion Fire Ant Bait can I treat my lawn with Demon Max for mosquitoes, earwigs and spiders? I also want to apply a Weed N Feed, will any of these conflict with one another?
    Fire ants are all over my Texas lawn and I've already treated with Demon Max inside cracks and crevices, along baseboards and the exterior perimeter foundation. I want to use Advion Fire Ant Bait for the Fire Ants and treat the entire lawn also with Demon Max. Are there issues or conflicting applications with any of these treatments.
    A

    In regards to using baits and insecticides, Demon Max and Advion Fire Ant Bait applications need to be applied in different areas in order to keep the insecticide from contaminating the bait. There are no issues with apply a Weed n Feed and insecticide together as one is for turf and one is for insects. 

    We would recommend using Advion Fire Ant Bait for treating fire ant mounds individually or as a broadcast application over the entire lawn and using Demon Max for residual control on exterior foundation, around windows, doors, under sofits and eaves but also spraying the upper and lower foliage of bushes, trees, shrubs, etc in landscape beds and wooded areas around the home.

    Review the Advion Fire Ant Bait product label for mound and broadcast rates. 

    Keep in mind, Demon Max is oil based so it can stain surfaces, siding, etc and also burn foliage if applied during the heat of the day or mixed stronger than the product label recommends.

    Q
    Why do you say Advion Fire Ant Bait can’t be resolved in water
    I read on a web sight that Advion Fire Ant Bait can be resolved in water and put down with a sprayer
    A

    Advion Fire Ant Bait is not designed to be dissolved in water. Application instructions per the label are below.  It is a dry bait granule that is spread.
     
    SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS:

    1. 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.
    2. Individual Mound Treatments: Do not disturb the mound. Do not apply to tops of mound. 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. Individual mound treatments.
