Customer Reviews for Ferti-Lome Come and Get It! Fire Ant Killer

I don't know why it didn't work for other reviewers, but it has been vital for us for the last few years. All those mounds are likely one colony, which can extend up to an acre. It may not wipe out the colony, but it has kept our yard clear of mounds and safe for the kids without chemicals. I have to reapply every few weeks, whenever a new mound pops up, but I don't think that is unexpected or unreasonable.

I have used Come and Get It fire ant bait on my yard in Texas for several years with excellent results. We have chickens, dogs, and grandchildren so don't use chemical pesticides. This bait works. Yes it says you'll see some dead ants in 24 hours but it does NOT say all ants will be dead! In my experience usually the entire mound will be dead in 2 or 3 days and ant activity will be diminished for sure (you might still see a few ants after a day or 2). Do NOT disturb the mound for at least a couple of days. Total kill may take 5 to 7 days. Use as directed on the label and it will work.

Fire ants moved into my compost pile. I wanted to use something organic to not ruin my compost. I used up most of the bag over a weeks time and nothing happened. Now Im just trying to get them to leave by disturbing them daily.

I tried this on 10 mounds I had in my yard. It says dead ants in 24 hours. It has been over 24 hours and y ants are still running around. I think it is just food for them. I will not buy this again.

I bought a 5 acre place last fall and by this spring realized I must have 40 hills of ants! I bought a couple of pounds of this stuff and it seemed to work, so I bought the 12 pack. It's all gone and I still am finding a couple little startup hills, but I consider that pretty good. I'll have to buy more and hopefully they will be easier to maintain. They no longer are stripping whole trees I planted of their leaves in one day. Yeah!!!! (You may have to treat them 2 or 3 times, if your hills are as established as mine were.)

I sprinkled as directed. Many times. At first ants tried to take the granules into the mound. The granules were too large to drag in. On future occasions the ants ignored the bait.

Excellent for organic garden beds. It works! Be patient! This is the only type I use in my organic garden!

I was actually impressed at how well this did work for being so easy and not using harsh chemicals! Out of probably 30 ant hills I treated there were about 4 to 5 that seemed able to ignore it but the rest were dead within a couple of days. I'm not sure why some weren't affected but it wiped out most!!

This was the cheapest I could find on the internet or in-store. I use it on ant piles that try to make homes in my garden and it usually kills them within a couple of days.
