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!)AEvery single insecticide has some level of toxicity and some type of chemical, even all natural or organic products.

Read Full Answer »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. -

Asked by Mike from Ozark, Al06/02/2013Qre 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 .

Asked by Debbie from Cape Coral Fl04/30/2014QI 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.AYou 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 contacti…

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. -
