Product Documents
ACEPHATE 75 SP is an insecticide for control of pests on selected agricultural crops and in certain non-crop areas. The active ingredient in ACEPHATE 75 SP is acephate, a water soluble insecticide readily absorbed by plant roots and foliage to give systemic control of feeding insects. Insect pests are generally controlled more effectively by Acephate 75 SP through ingestion than by contact. A one (1) pound container of Acephate 75 SP can treat up to 108 fire ant mounds, and in most situations you only have to treat once per season!
Fire Ants Mound Treatments:
• Dry Method- Evenly distribute 1 to 2 teaspoons over the mound
• Drench Method- Mix 1 oz. in 5 gals. of water. Apply 1 gal. of mix to each mound area by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat a four (4) foot diameter circle around the mound.
Agricultural Pests:
• Preparation of Spray Solution- Empty the entire contents of package into a spray tank containing at least one-half of the total quantity of water required. Add remaining water with agitator running until the spray volume is reached. The Acephate 75 SP should completely dissolve within 5 minutes. Do not add any fertilizers, micronutrients, or adjuvants to the solution until the Acephate 75 SP has completely dissolved.

Stinks but works great!
By Sue on May 3, 2008Acephate 75 SP is the best product I have found to get rid of fire ants!! I went into our local feed store one day and asked about poison for fire ants, because what I was buying at Walmart just was not working. So she told me this stuff stinks awful and is expensive but it works. She told me to mix about 4-5 teaspoonfuls into a small bag of cornmeal and just sprinkle it on the ant mounds and yahoo!! Fire ants be gone!! I will not use anything else!! I do not mind paying good money for a product that works, and this stuff does.

Honey bee control with Acephate
By Bob on June 9, 2010I used Acephate to get rid of Honey Bees in the walls of a trailer at the deer lease. There were about 1000 bees going in a hole of the trailer. Put 3 large teaspoons in the hole after dark and we never saw another bee around the trailer, starting with the very next morning. I was told about this from a bee keeper here in Texas. It also does a great job on fire ants.

My first review, ever
By Leon on May 4, 2013My neighbor told me to buy Acephate 75 sp and mix one cup with five pounds of cornmeal and sprinkle on ant hills. This mix has killed every ant hill on my 3 acre property. This has worked better than any product that I have ever used. I will buy more and highly recommend.

WORKS!
By Carla on April 30, 2013I have tried to stay organic or at the very least use the fire ant baits but I had two problems. The first was that my goats like the taste of the bait and tried to eat it. The second was that it didn't seem to work very well. I felt like the ant bed just relocated. After using the Hi-Yield I have probably seen 80% less ant beds. When I check the bed I have treated, I never see any activity or live ants. I have decided it is better to use "heavy duty" treatment once or twice than to keep treating with the other products. Also because if it's strong smell my goats have no interest.

Similar to Orthene for Fire Ant Control
By David on March 27, 2013Have used Orthene for years to control our pasture ant mounds in South Texas. This works out about same price per pound as what you get at Home Depot, although it is a higher percentage of Acephate (the active agent). I could not tell any difference in performance. Think the idea stated by another reviewer to mix with cornmeal and place on mounds is good idea...may be able to use less Acephate than putting out straight on mounds.

Smells Terrible, but is Extremely Effective Fire Ant Killer
By Herbert on September 16, 2012The Acephate 75 SP that I purchased is very effective at combatting my fire ant problem. More care must be taken to seal the containers, gallon sized zip lock bags are ideal for this purpose, or the smell of the product is very offensive to the United States Postal Service. The smell from the box was so bad the Post Master of my post office made a special after hours trip to deliver the box to me rather than let it continue to smell his entire post office, prompting many complaints from postal customers. He was nice about the problem, and accepted my apology for the smell escaping from the packaging. I did not receive an open container in my shipment; however, there was some Acephate on the containers that apparently was the result of a different container having leaked. I will use this product in the future, but I hope that I do not receive complaints from my Post Master about the smell.

Fire Ant Control
By John on August 11, 2012I have been using fire ant control with Acephate 75 for some time and it is very effective at eliminating mounds. It is a great product and purchasing it online was very simple. With the free shipping it saved me the gas I would have used to purchase it at the local store.

August 7, 2011Robert from Hartford, Wi asked:
QWhat quantities of acephate 75 do I mix per gallon of water for home sprayer uses?
The fire ant killer -- acephate 75% -- can be used as a systemic insecticide in non-food applications but the can's label is not helpful in determining how many teaspoons, for example, to use per gallon of water in various garden applications.
AAcephate 75 was reviewed by the EPA and they had to change their product label for only the fire ant uses listed. Any other use would now be considered an "off label" use and we are prohibited from giving directions for off label uses. You most likely can find the old label by searching "Acephate 75 product label" online.

June 23, 2011Chuck asked:
QWhat is the correct mixture of Acephate 75 SP for drench application to control aphids?
Yes I have read the label and it isn't there, however, I have found it in the metric system on a European site. I need it in ounces and gallons.
AThe reason you cannot find this information on the product label is because Acephate 75 is no longer registered for use as a systemic on plants in the United States. The EPA made this change in the last year or two. We recommend that you use a product that is labeled for use a systemic such as Criterion 75 WSP, Dominion 2L, or Merit.
