Q:Can I put surrender fire ant be put inside house?10/31/23A:Absolutely NOT,Would, be my reply! This is some great ant poison but it has an odor thats lasting and very powerful. Just to store the can it comes in requires putting the closed can in a twist open plastic container to store it in my mower barn,with odor still escaping. I definitely would not store in my garage for fear of odor stinking up garage and house. Let me change the word odor for stench! For outside use ;this stuff is number 1! This is only my opinion, good luck if you try to use it in your house.

Will the squad be safe to eat since it has been a long time since application?6/4/23A:Surrender Fire Ant Killer cannot be used on squash or any plants intended for consumption. This product can only be applied on non-crop areas and on ant mounds in turf areas. It would be best to not eat the squash at all since it has been treated with this product.
