    Q
    Will rain make Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer ineffective?
    After I put it on the mounds we had some pretty heavy thunderstorms pop up.
    A

    When using Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer, it is only labeled to be used on mounds once per season, and this is a water-soluble product. So you would not want to re-apply per the product label to the same mound more than once per season regardless of how much rain you get.

    Q
    Will grass contain enough poison after using Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer to harm him?
    My dog eats grass when he is in the yard. I've seen that surrender is absorbed through roots of plants, (and I assume grass). Will the grass be a poison concern if my dog ingests after application
