Fire ants are all over my Texas lawn and I've already treated with Demon Max inside cracks and crevices, along baseboards and the exterior perimeter foundation. I want to use Advion Fire Ant Bait for the Fire Ants and treat the entire lawn also with Demon Max. Are there issues or conflicting applications with any of these treatments.
In regards to using baits and insecticides, Demon Max and Advion Fire Ant Bait applications need to be applied in different areas in order to keep the insecticide from contaminating the bait. There are no issues with apply a Weed n Feed and insecticide together as one is for turf and one is for insects. We would recommend using Advion Fire Ant Bait for treating fire ant mounds individually or as a broadcast application over the entire lawn and using Demon Max for residual control on exterior foundation, around windows, doors, under sofits and eaves but also spraying the upper and lower foliage of bushes, trees, shrubs, etc in landscape beds and wooded areas around the home. Review the Advion Fire Ant Bait product label for mound and broadcast rates. Keep in mind, Demon Max is oil based so it can stain surfaces, siding, etc and also burn foliage if applied during the heat of the day or mixed stronger than the product label recommends.
