Description

Surrender Fire Ant Killer, manufactured by Control Solutions Inc., is an insecticide dust designed to kill ants , such as fire ants and harvester ants, in as little as 48 hours. As a water-soluble insecticide, it can readily be absorbed by plant roots and foliage to provide systemic control for feeding insects. Formulated with the active ingredient acephate 75.00%, ants that touch or eat this product's material become paralyzed, leading to eventual death. This occurs because the chemicals interrupt the electrochemical processes that nerves use to communicate between cells and muscles, which then become overstimulated. Surrender Fire Ant Killer is an easy-to-use product that can be simply sprinkled from the container onto dry ant mounds to treat for an entire season. Due to its low use, this product becomes an economical option, with one package treating 108 fire ant mounds. Tools Needed Surrender Fire Ant Bait comes ready to use, with no tools needed for application. However, be sure to wear personal protective equipment when applying. You may use a teaspoon to apply the product. Teaspoons should not be reused for cooking or eating purposes. Applications with a handheld spreader, handheld application equipment, or directly from hand are prohibited. How to Use Step 1: Prepare the area by clearing debris away from mounds for best results. Surrender Fire Ant Killer is best applied when ants feed, usually in the early morning or late afternoon. Shake the product container before using it to undo any clumping. Step 2: Pop open the lid and peel away the seal. Step 3: Measure 1 to 2 teaspoons of Surrender Fire Ant Killer and evenly distribute them over the ant mound. Be cautious not to apply it at a height where the wind could drift the product onto non-targeted areas such as grass. Do not treat the ant mound more than once per season. Where to Use Surrender Fire Ant Killer is meant only for outdoor use on listed ant mounds in turfgrass around residential, recreational, commercial, and non-crop areas (such as field borders, fencerows, roadsides, ditch banks, and borrow bits). Do not apply to trees, shrubs, and potted plants. When To Use Use Surrender Fire Ant Killer when you have an active fire ant or harvester ant infestation on the premises. Some harvester ant species will create a raised dirt mound or a crater with a visible entry tunnel in the center, while fire ants create mounds without entry tunnels. Apply in the early morning or late afternoon when ants are most active. Applications made under prolonged hot or dry conditions may be ineffective due to the possibility of ants burrowing deep into their nests to escape the heat. Treat each mound only once per season. Safety Information Surrender Fire Ant Killer is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling or applying this product. Wait until dust has settled before allowing pets or other individuals from entering treated areas. Special Considerations Surrender Fire Ant Killer has a strong odor that may be off-putting to some. Grass in treated areas may be injured if contacted directly by Surrender Fire Ant Killer material.
