    When I cleaned up, I swept it with a broom which stirred it up in the air. I went outside and breathed fresh air a while and then added water to clean up, and some got on my feet and hands. It has been 24 hrs and I feel ok. Are there any other precautions I need to follow up on? I still need to clean it up some more but thought I would wait till I know a little more on how to clean it up.

  • Asked by Mike
    01/28/2018
    Q
    Is Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer approved for use on pastures?
    County requirement is to verify prior to application that product is labeled for pasture use.
    A

    Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer is not labeled to be used in pastures.

    We would recommend using Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait. A broadcast treatment across the entire area would be best so that the fire ants do not just move their mounds to other areas. If you do an individual mound treatment, be sure to treat at least three feet out as well. There are no grazing restrictions for companion animals, such as horses, llamas, etc. You will use 1.5-2 lbs. per acre for a broadcast application and 2-5 tablespoons for individual mounds. While spring and fall are the best time to apply the bait, you may apply as needed, when ants are active and foraging (usually early morning or late afternoon with soil temperatures above 60 F).

    **Ants must be foraging for this to work. You should not apply this product in the late fall or winter if ants are not foraging: it will not work! Also, bait must remain dry. Do not apply if it is going to rain within 8 hours.
