I don't know, but it's worth a try. The ants I had were I think were brownish and very small and on my kitchen counter coming out of a crack at kitchen window.

I agree with the other two responses: I have no idea about fire ants but the product works very well with the little tiny ants that invaded my kitchen. It did about a month until they were completely gone.

I wish I could tell you for sure, but I honestly don't know. It works extremely quickly and effectively with other ants and for the price I'd say it's definitely worth a try. Good luck!

Jennifer, Probably not. First, Timbor is not that good for "controlling" an existing problem. Especially when targeting carpenter ants. Second, its designed to protect wood and this is done by coating the surface of cellulose before it gets a problem - not after the problem exists. So if you have an active infestation, you'll be best served to use something like Drione Dust. This product works great and will penetrate the nest through and through when puffed into entrance/exit holes. Alternatively you can use Carpenter Ant Gel or something like Phantom Aerosol as well.

It is supposed to kill an ant mound when you release the CO2 capsule into the mound . I used several of the canisters in my garden, but did not get rid of fire ants. It might work on other types of ants.

I used it to kill fire ants in a kennel run where I have show dogs and didn't want to use insecticides or poisons. It worked well.

I've used it several times on fire ant mounds, it seems to be pretty effective,, whether it's more effective than some of the other products intended solely for that purpose remains unclear. I will say this though we had an issue with carpenter ants in our house that were almost impossible to stop , even our pest control company couldn't put a stop to the ants. Since I started spraying the Demon product pretty heavy around the perimeter 3 or 4 times a year we no longer have them inside the house.

No, not with the application method that is involved. It only works with mounds. For sugar ants as well as roaches and any other indoor insects, I use Bengal which works great.

I would say probably yes because it says to keep away from your pets. But yuou may want to send a email to Terro directly and ask them to be sure. But as for using it on Ants it works amazingly. I have never seen anything that works so fast on the ants. We have used the indoor and out door ones. This one is for indoor ants.

Hopefully this isn't too late to be useful. Use 12ml for fire ants in 1 gallon of water in hand sprayer.

Yes. I used it around the perimeter of the house. None of me foundations plants showed any effect of the Terro. I used the powder and the liquid Terro inside to control the ants.

I don't believe this product is designed to be used indoors or for fleas and ants necessarily. This should be used in a propane powered outdoor fogger and is primarily for flying insects like mosquitoes, moths and flies etc. If you need a product specifically for ants and fleas I would use a liquid, spray on product in an aerosol can, one that is applied with a garden hose & sprayer attachment or a dust or granular type you sprinkle on the ground. Hope this helps..

I've never used it for ants, but I have a neighbor who did and she said it worked great.

While not an expert on ants, I do believe (based on the pictures) that I have some carpenter ants at my cabin. This Terro Ant Killer has greatly reduced my ant problem with all ants. There are still a few but nothing like before. For the price, it's definitely worth trying. I've got to order some more for my mother who has an infestation of thousands of small ants in her house. Wish I could answer your question with 100% certainty. I would, however, be surprised if it didn't work on carpenter ants. Terro has a website where they will answer any questions or concerns that you might have. http://www.terro.com/guide-ants.php

Fire Ants cannot be controlled with liquid insecticides. I tried for years. I now have them under control using AMDRO Fire Ant bait that is labled to kill the queen. It comes in a black 15 pound bag available at Lowe's. Sprinkle two tablespoons around each nest, or, if it is a small yard use as the lable directs. It takes a week or 10 days to kill the nest AND QUEEN. It must be slow kill to get the queen, for otherwise the nest's queens will just move over and begin other nests. Workers only live 34 days anyway. To kill fleas, you must both kill the active fleas and the flea larvae. Many insecticides will kill the adult fleas, but the larvae take a special insecticide like Precor. Just killing the adults will not solve the problem, for the larvae hatch to begin the cycle over again.

Don't Know how effective it is with Fire Ant critters. We don't have them in Nevada where I live but Terro is the best for those we do have.

YES. I live on a ranch and we have many varieties of ants. Big and small,, black and red, biting and stinging ones. I powder every nest I find at the entrance and any crawling ones around it. It works within minutes and is non toxic to birds and pets. Just be sure not to get the powder wet.
