Margaret from Columbia, Sc writes
Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is not labeled for ants directly. If you have a lot of ants on your trees or other ornamental plants, then they may be feeding on honeydew that is being produced by sucking insects such as aphids or scale. The systemic insecticide will treat for those sucking pests, so a treatment can indirectly help to eliminate the ants in that situation. Please see our Ant Treatment Guide for more tips on treating for this pest.
