Karen from Iowa, La writes

Are the Orthene pellets supposed to be mixed with water? I've been applying them directly on the mounds.

Answer:

Yes Orthene PCO Pellets should be mixed with water as directed on the product label. 
 
Ants, Fire and Harvester (excluding carpenter and pharaoh ants) in mounds within a treated perimeter: In order to control a mound or nest, a drench treatment is necessary. 
 
For mound drench treatment, dissolve 1 packet (1.4 oz.) of Orthene PCO Pellets in 9 gals. of water. Apply 1 gal. of mix to each mound by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat a 4 ft. diameter circle around the mound. For best results, apply Orthene PCO Pellets in the early morning or late afternoon when ants are most active. Mound drench applications made under prolonged hot and dry conditions may be ineffective due to the location of ants deep within the nest.
