    After using Advion Fire Ant Bait you should wait at least a year to plant anything edible in that area out of an abundance of caution, or replace the soil if you need to plant before than.

    Q
    Can Advion Fire Ant Bait be applied if an irrigation system will water the area within 24 hours after the application?
    A

    For best results, Advion Fire Ant Bait should be applied when rainfall or irrigation is not expected for atleast 4 hours after the application. Per the product label, rainfall or irrigation within 2 to 3 hours after application may reduce effectiveness and a repeat application within 7 days may be necessary to achieve the desired level of control. Do not apply if the area to be treated is wet with dew, irrigation or rainfall.

    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.

    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.
