Thank you for your comments! Usually when fire ant baits are not effective it is either because insecticides were used just before or after the bait was applied, or because the ants are not foraging. Fire ants will generally be foraging when temperatures are around 65-80 degrees F. You can test to see if fire ants are foraging by placing a few potato chips around the mound and checking after a few hours to see if the ants have foraged on them: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-fire-ants-a-470.html Please let us know if we can further assist you anytime!

The entire Advion line was bought by Syngenta, so all Advion products are now made by Syngenta, although none of the formulations have changed.
