    Q
    Will Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer kill the queens?
    Since it is a contact killer, I'm assuming it may not kill the queen. Is this accurate?
    A

    Martin's Surrender Fire Ant Killer is not considered a bait since it does not include specific food attractants. The ants contact this product and ingest the active ingredient when they groom. So while this does not cause traditional transfer like other baits, you will still see fast results that usually result in colony collapse.
