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 in other lawn areas will likely survive and build new mounds. Using a granulated insecticide is an easy way to treat the mound and the lawn." |
