Mrs. from Commerce, Texas writes
I am concerned that by spending the extra money to get THIS Amdro Fire Ant killer because it "says" it kills the entire mound, including the queen, in about 5 minutes, that I am being naive. What makes this specific product more likely to kill the whole mound including the queen more quickly than the same brand (not this specific label) available locally retail?
We are unsure of what product you are comparing to the Amdro Quick Kill Fire Ant Mound Drench Ready-To-Spray. However, this product will kill the mound, queen and all, within 5 minutes. Zeta Cypermethrin, the active ingredient in Amdro Quick Kill Fire Ant Mound Drench Ready-To-Spray is a very fast acting insecticide with a fast knockdown. Keep in mind this is not a commercial grade product and there is no difference in the product (with the same EPA#) whether it is purchased from us or locally.
