Fire Ant Killer - Acephate 75 SP

I’ve been dealing with ants since I transferred to my current apartment despite pest control doing routine sprays (they’re paid by the landlord, not me). Also a relative who had moved in until they found a place of their own and brought German roaches with them- I did not have a roach problem until this person had moved in. I had been trying EVERYTHING I could think of to get rid of these pests on top of daily deep cleaning with vinegar and putting borax behind problem areas such as appliances because that’s where nests typically are. Combat gel did not work. Roach motels did not work. RAID did not work. Liquid ant baits did not work. I saw an ad for a different pest control solution on Facebook and also saw a comment where someone suggested Surrender because what was advertised did NOT work for them- did some digging here on Amazon and read the reviews which were mostly positive. I couldn’t afford pest control coming in and doing extermination services so I figured, “This is affordable- I’ll try this before hiring pest control as a last resort.” Now my only drawback is the horrendous odor but given that this product kills and does it QUICKLY, that was very easy to overlook. You don’t even need to throw out a lot of dust either so you’ll have some leftover because you get a pretty sizeable container for the price. I like how you can mix the powder with water and make it a spray, too. I have never been more satisfied with a product in my entire life. Finally having a solution to a pest problem is a huge burden off my shoulders. My home feels clean again. I’m not afraid to invite friends and relatives over anymore.

This is AMAZING! We had fire ants so bad we couldn’t go outside in the yard and enjoy ourselves without getting bit from head to toe. A friend of my husband said it got rid of their roaches and I told my husband if it’ll kill roaches it’ll kill anything. We got it and applied it in the yard and we haven’t had to reapply it since. However be warned it smells like rank cabbage.

There are a lot of products that say greyhound”kill the queen” but over the last 15 years I have found that most big box store products, like Ortho Orthene, are not effective. The same location comes back year after year, often multiple times in the same year.This product is different. #1 I notice that about 80-90% of the powder is picked up by the ants and taken into the nest. #2 the colony dies and new mounds do not reappear at the same location.Yes, Ants breed and spread so I need to treat the new arrivals. And, when it is wet, I use liquid Bifenthrin. But this product kills the colony.

I have tried all the big box store offerings and a number of rumor mill options before this product with little or temporary success. THIS product works. I've waited a month to review and it still seems to be effective. I've treated mounds at two properties and all were completely effective. I am not an entomology, so I can't confirm which ants I had, but they're gone. 👍🏻👍🏻

Doesn't take long to see the effect of it. It is a pain when the ants seem to move 3ft over but then I go get them too😂. I know a place that had roaches & I moved the fridge & put this under there & moved it back. It probably wasn't 20 minutes & them things were come'n out on gurney's, a few on crutches, so.e in wheelchairs, they even had a medical tent set up & a graveyard next to it🤣 Yep,this even kills roaches. It's just a tad on the expensive side though when you really can't buy it like you need it.

Today my house started stinking. I was a Concerned. Is that mildew? Dead vermin? Wtf? I hope it’s not a gas leak!I go on a journey to locate the source of the smell.My mail is sitting in the entryway. Nothing fun so I didn’t open it earlier. And then I remember: I had ordered ant killer from the internet. Reviews say it stinks (as in it’s smelly) but I’m like, eh I have four cats and regularly use fish fertilizer on my plants. Country living prepared me for this.I open the box. Wrapped in layers of plastic is a sealed canister. That’s what stinks!Outside I open the canister.Coherent thought ceases.This is the worst smell I have EVER encountered. And I’ve dealt with some SMELLS in my life, let me tell you.I am so close to losing dinner. But the ants have to be eliminated. Get to sprinkling.It’s now 10x worse with the powder floating. Imagine a demon made of fermented fec*s bathed in 5 month old duck eggs stored in an infected skunk’s hind glands. That’s but a sampling of the scent that assaults my nerves.It bypasses the nose to directly manipulate the brain. I’m not sure if this stuff is made of Satan’s cologne or Satan’s colon.When I finish distributing the Powder of Lovecraft’s Sleep Paralysis Demon, I am covered in drool and tears from my body’s battle to keep down my dinner.Roommate is justifiably concerned.Deed done, ants expiring (from the stench or the pesticide, I’m not sure), I retreat to the filtered indoor air. After thoroughly irrigating my sinuses, huffing coffee beans, and sipping vinegar, I’m starting to recover.There’s only one smell I’ve ever endured which makes my stomach churn just remembering it, but this experience reminds me that life can always be worse.I’d rather stick my face in a bowl of fermented maggots feasting on gangrene than endure that again.In conclusion: the ants died immediately. Product recommended for COVID patients with an infestation.

Works great on those pesky fire ants! I must add the product has a strong “fragrance” “odor” so place it where you have plenty of ventilation.

You want to rid anything from fire ants to roaches? This is IT. I 💯 Back this ....you Will see bugs run like heck to get away from this. Smells like rotten cabbage...but worth it, only smells for couple hours..let it settle..but you'll see whatever critter run for the hills on this stuff. I keep a can on hand now ...even if Don't have any critters.
