HOW IT WORKS:

Safer® Brand Fire Ant Bait is attractive and deadly to fire ants. Fire ants quickly find/pick up this bait, take it back to the mound, and feed it to the entire colony including the queen. Ants start dying in 24-36 hours with mound/colony destruction in 3 to 14 days. Broadcast applications may take longer. Fire ant colonies are started by newly mated queens that fly into an area, burrow into the ground and begin laying eggs. Several flights are common during the summer, often shortly after rains. It takes several weeks for new mounds to appear. Combining mound and broadcast applications eliminates visible mounds and helps prevent new mounds from forming.

If Swallowed:

• Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice.
• Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow.
• Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control center or doctor.
• Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

FIRST AID
Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor
or going for treatment.

WHERE TO USE:
On Lawns, Perimeter of Home, Around Ornamental Plants (flowers, shrubs & trees) and In Home Gardens (1 Acre or Less).

AMOUNT TO USE: (Tbs = Tablespoon)

Mounds: 4 Tbs/mound. For mounds greater than 15 inches in diameter use 6 Tbs/mound.

Broadcast Application:1/2-3/4 cup for each 1,000 sq. ft.

HOW TO APPLY:

Mounds: Sprinkle bait evenly over and around each mound in a 4-ft diameter circle. Apply gently to avoid disturbing ants.

Broadcast Application: Apply bait evenly, direct from product container using shaker opening or use hand held rotary broadcast spreader.

WATER/RAINFALL NOTE: Do not water-in bait. Do not water within 6 hours of a mound or 24 hours of a broadcast application. If rain occurs within 6 hours of mound application or 24 hours of broadcast application, adequate foraging of the bait may not occur and retreatment may be necessary.

WHEN TO APPLY:
Apply when ants are active (usually when temperatures are greater than 60°F). The best time to apply is in the cooler morning and late evening when fire ant foraging is at its peak. Mounds will usually be eliminated/destroyed in 3-14 days. Extremely large mounds may require a repeat application. Make a broadcast application every other month during the warm months to keep fire ants from starting new mounds.
