    Q
    Does water hurt the efficacy of this Amdro Pro?
    Do you need to water in? What if a rain comes in the next 12hrs?
    A
    Amdro Pro does not need to be watered in. According to the Amdro Pro product label, " Amdro Pro may remain effective for up to 10 weeks (or longer) depending on environmental factors. Excessively wet (prolonged high humidity, frequent and prolonged rainfall, and heavy mists) conditions may reduce the effectiveness of Amdro Pro." You should not apply the granules withing 12 hours of rain fall.

  • Asked by Don from Dalzell, South Carolina

    Q
    Placed Amdro in garden plot. Can I plant another garden in the same soil?
    A
    Amdro Pro Fire Ant Bait cannot be used in the same area where you plan to plant an edible food garden. The manufacturer recommends that you either wait one year from the date of placement or that you remove the soil and replace it with non-treated soil. In the future you can apply a fire ant bait product around the outside perimeter of the garden or use the bait contained in a bait station in the garden.

  • Asked by Amber
    03/29/2011
    Q
    How long should I wait before eating veggies that were in the vicinity of Amdro?
    Amdro was placed near my veggies garden, then scooped out, but not placed in it. Should I wait so long then eat the veggies or are the plants no longer edible?
    A
    As long as the Amdro wasn't actually placed in the garden and it wasn't in contact with the plants, there would be no reason to wait. Amdro doesn't move through the soil so it should have no effect on the plants.

  • Asked by Rona
    05/25/2011
    Q
    Will Amdro kill Argentine ants or do you have a product that will?
    A
    Amdro is strictly labeled and formulated for fire ants only and it is not labeled for Argentine ants.  If you are trying to get rid of Argentine ants outside and they are not an issue in the house, then you should apply Termidor.  Termidor is the # 1 choice for ant control around the outside of your home. Termidor is a non-repellent insecticide that also has a transfer effect. That means that ants cannot tell that the Termidor is there and will walk right over it and then pick the product up on their bodies and inadvertently carry it back to the colony, then through normal social interaction the ants spread the Termidor and wipe out the colony. Termidor only needs to be applied two times per year and is effective for a wide variety of insects including ants, centipedes, roaches, spiders, silverfish, wasps and many other nuisance insects.

    Q
    Can I use Amdro on house plants?
    Hanging baskets from greenhouse with ants
    A
    While Amdro Pro Fire Ant Bait is labeled for indoor use, it is only labeled for use in cracks, crevices and voids that will be inaccessible to pets and children. The product will not hurt non-edible plants but will be left exposed which would go against the product label instructions.
