| Keith's Pro Tips | "To effectively control imported fire ants on a lawn, the entire lawn must be treated, not just the fire ant mound. If only the mound is treated with insecticide, the scavenging ants that are in other areas of the lawn will most likely survive and build new mounds. Using a granulated insecticide is an easy way to treat the mound and the lawn." |

Q:Why is it restricted in so many states? Seems like a red flag. We are in one of the states that allows it, and my pest control company keeps insisting we have this applied.5/22/23A:I think but I'm no expert its because of the potetial of it being washed out into our waterway and there by contaminating the waters, or the other aspect is the functionality of top choice is emacullate and will put pest control companies out of business, I used to have a pest control company used the product and it works excellent.

Q:Is this safe for pets? I have a puppy that needs to go outside frequentlt10/27/22A:Yes it is a fine granular. Spread it out and water in. Once yard dry pets are good to go. However Topchoice works best when ground stays undisturbed. So if your pet digs it will break barrier and lose effectiveness,
