Amdro is great!
October 12, 2010
I love this product. Mound treatments work well if you know where all the mounds are. Spread Amdro and the ants will find it, take it home, and it will kill the whole mound. It is not cheap but it works great...

Amdro Pro Fire Ant Bait
September 30, 2011
Verified Purchase
I have an eight-acre estate in fire-ant ridden rural Louisiana. There are no other homes nearby so the fireants are not controlled on adjacent property. My location, therefore, is a particularly difficult one with regard to fire ants.
I have used Amdro fire ant bait for many years to control fire ants, which I sprinkle in the vicinity of the nest.
The nest usually dies within 48 hours of treatment.
I don't know of a better product for fire ant control.

worst product that I have used
October 6, 2011
I used this product and treated ant mounds, went back 1 week later and retreated again. Checked today, 1 week after 2nd treatment, and the mounds are being fertilized by this product. There are more ants and more mounds after the use of this product. Will never buy again.

Nothing is perfect, but Amdro Pro "works"
March 28, 2012
I'm giving Amdro Pro 4 stars only because I have yet to use anything that actually works better. I've tried all of the home-baked remedies (instant grits, hot water, Indian chants, etc) and most of the commercially-available ones as well, and as a single product, Amdro works reasonably well. Unfortunately, Fire Ants are aggressive, invasive, and extremely hardy, so true extermination is impossible. Control and mitigation are the only possibilities, and that requires fairly intensive, sustained effort. There simply is no annual "one and done" method. Amdro Pro has TWICE the effective amount of active ingredient than does "Extinguish Plus" so it actually costs considerably LESS than EP for the amount of killing power in each bag. However, even with AP I often have to treat the same, larger mounds (and I've seen some monsters!) 2-3 times over the course of a month to finally kill it completely. Make sure it's dry (but not too dry), warm (but not too warm), and thoroughly spread. Forget tablespoons, we're talking CUPS per mound spread over a 10-15' radius (if spot treating). I don't want to broadcast, because we have livestock.

Great product.

Verified Purchase
This product works very well. I have 6 acres and was infested with fire ants, mounds everywhere. I first applied a small amount of this product to each mound I could find. This worked well but after following up with a broadcast application they were gone. I went from 100's of mounds to 0. Not sure if we will ever have a problem again but as for now no fire ants.
