this product does NOT kill Texas Leaf cutting ants-Known as ATTA TEXANA . Tried treating mounds waited 3 days -treated again still never killed them . and i watered it down to make sure . after a week i had to go back to amdro ant block .
Expert response:
Leaf cutter ants can be a difficult pest to get rid of. The colonies are large and the ants make their own food so poison baits only have limited effects on this species of ants. DeltaGard granules is one of the only products actually labeled for leaf cutter ants. The product label recommends treating the mound directly and lightly watering the granules in. Again, it may take several treatments to get the desired results. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to see if they have any recommendations for products that have worked for other people in your region.
Does absolutely nothing for springtails

Maybe works for some of the other bugs labeled, but these have done absolutely nothing to deter/kill/work as a barrier for springtails. I have videos of them walking right over this stuff all around the foundation of my home, even after being watered in and
Expert response:
We are sorry to hear expectations were not met with Demand G. Insects do have to contact the treated area to be effected and they will not die on contact with a treated area. It can take several minutes to 24 hours or more for insects to die after contact with a treated area depending on several factors. Springtails thrive on excess moisture so removing any issues is also key for elimination.
