Hi-Yield Fire Ant Control is a systemic insecticide manufactured by VPG, Inc., that protects the exterior of your residential, commercial, landscape, and recreational turf from fire ants.

Hi-Yield Fire Ant Control has an active ingredient Acephate 75%, which works well to quickly kill fire ants within your lawn and non-crop areas such as field borders, fencerows, roadsides, ditchbanks, or borrow pits. By applying to grassy areas needing treatment, you can gain control of the fire ant's termination by allowing them to directly ingest the water-soluble powder.

Hi-Yield Fire Ant Control offers a long residual and 1 pound of product is enough to treat up to 108 square feet.

Tools Needed

When applying Hi-Yield Fire Ant Control you will need to sprinkle the product evenly out of the bottle or with a measuring spoon meant for applying chemicals.

How to Use

• Step 1: Prepare the area by removing any debris and available food sources such as pet food or trash from the area where application is to be placed. Hi-Yield Fire Ant Control will best be applied early in the morning when fire ants are more active and increase the chances of fire ants ingesting the material when they search for food.
• Step 2: Apply by evenly distributing 1-2 teaspoons over the top and sides of the mound. For best results, do not disturb the fire ant mound when applying the powder. If the mound is disturbed, fire ants will ignore Hi-Yield Fire Ant Control and prioritize saving or moving the queen fire ant. When applying, be cautious of the wind to prevent possible drift into food, forage, or other plants that might damage crops unfit for consumption.

Where to Use
