    Q
    Is Ascend Fire Ant Bait chemical free? Is Ascend non-toxic to people and pets?
    I'm searching for non-chemical, natural, not toxic to humans/pets solution for fire ants. Is Ascend? (We've recently been invaded by LFA, & the whole island is searching for product that's effective & non-chemical, non-toxic. I really hope I've found it in Ascend!)
    A
    Every single insecticide has some level of toxicity and some type of chemical, even all natural or organic products. If there is absolutely no toxicity in the product there is no way to kill the ants. Ascend Fire Ant Bait does contain Abamectin which is usually categorized in the "lower risk" group of insecticides. This means that when used as directed on the product label Ascend Bait Granules pose a much lower toxic risk to non-target animals than other ant bait granules. We recommend you take a few moments to read the Ascend Fire Ant Bait product label as well as the MSDS to see if this product will fit your needs.

    Q
    How long will Ascend Fire Ant Bait last? Is there a money back warranty?
    A
    Ascend Fire Ant Bait should be used within 5 months of opening the container.  Once you apply the product, you should repeat application as necessary.  It will all depend on how many mounds you have and how much activity there is.  There is not a money back guarantee, but all of our products are professional grade and our used by professional companies.

    Q
    re these granuals small enough to be used in Ants-No-More bait stations?
    A
    The Ascend Fire Ant Bait granules are small enough to be used in the Ant-No-More bait stations. Keep in mind unless you are using the bait in a garden area or a pasture area where having it in a station is needed, most fire ant baits including Ascend work much better as a broadcast application .

    Q
    I would like to use the Asend fire ant bait on my lawn.
    I have a Scotts Turf Builder Edge Guard Mini and a Scotts Handy Green II. My lot is 120ft by 80ft. with a big old house and pool in the center so I do not have an acre. I was just wondering the setting for the edge guard if you know. I could treat the imported red fire ant mounds individually but I would rather broadcast. I'd rather not have to find a mound by stepping on it like I have been doing.
    A
    You can most definately broadcast the Ascend Fire Ant Bait. When used as a broadcast it should be applied at a rate of 0.4 oz per 1,000 square feet or 1.8 oz per 5,000 square feet. At this very minute application rate it can be very difficult to use a spreader of any type. We recommend contacting Scott's for a setting recommendation for this application rate or sprinkle the bait using a teaspoon or tablespoon. Be sure not to reuse the utincils for food after using with the Ascend Fire Ant Bait.

    Q
    How can I get the 2 lb container or just 2 pounds of Ascend Fire Ant Bait?
    My whole yard (approximately 1/2 acre. I don't need a commercial amount. Just want to get rid of these now before they get in my house.
    A

     Ascend Fire Ant Bait was discontinued in the 2 lb container. It is currently only available in a 25 lb box. You can browse our other Fire Ant Control Products here; we do sell several other fire ant baits that are available in smaller quantities.
