    Medina Orange Oil

    By Anonymous on 08/27/2013

    Verified Purchase

    Used as fire ant killer in Mother Earth News recipe. Worked great. Ants were dead in just a few hours and no new hills developed nearby.

    Fire Ant Killer

    By Tamara on 10/15/2016

    Medina Orange Oil when mixed with Dawn dish washing liquid is an effective organic killer of fire ants. Mix 1 1/2 oz of Medina Orange Oil with 3 oz of Dawn dish washing liquid with 1 gal of water. Stir and pour onto the fire ant mound. The mixture usually kills about 90% of the ants. Wait about a week and repeat the procedure. The second application will kill 90% of the remaining 10% that survived. Wait a week and repeat the procedure a third time to finish the job. After the three applications, 99.99% of the ants will be killed. I've been doing this for several years and it works. I learned about the procedure from Texas A & M University agriculture department publications.

    Great success on fire ants

    By Deborah on 10/11/2014

    Verified Purchase

    I purchased Medina Orange Oil to control fire ants in my new vegetable garden spot to avoid using nasty chemicals. Mixed at 1 1/2 oz. to a gallon of water and a few drops of dish detergent and poured into the nest, I have seen better results so far than Amdro used in other parts of the yard. After 10 days, I have seen no more fire ant activity in my new garden. YEAH!!!

    Don't want to be without it!

    By A. on 10/04/2015

    I bought this oil because I read that orange oil kills fire ants and my property was overrun with them. Because they get in the garden I am especially mindful of what I use. I found a great recipe using 3 oz. of blue Dawn and 1.5 oz. Medina orange oil to 1 gal. water. I live right next to a cow pasture so fire ants will be a constant battle. And yes, now that we're getting lots of rain and cooler temps I've put some parasitic nematodes down to help control them as well, but this stuff is great. I also like to use a small amount in home made cleaning solutions because of the wonderful smell as well as its cleaning power boost.

    Great Product

    By Anonymous on 06/09/2013

    I've been using this product from Medina Agricultural Products for several years, and I have been using orange oil to kill fleas and their eggs for over 25 years. This is a great product. My animals haven't had fleas since I first started using it 25 years ago. I add water and orange oil in a spray bottle and spray my carpets before I vacuum. I probably wouldn't use it on something white but other than that it doesn't seem to discolor anything. I also use iron oil based spills to clean up in my husbands shop. It works wonders.

    Orange oil is great for fire ants

    By Michele on 01/23/2016

    I would have given this product five stars for it's effectiveness! Mixed with some Dawn dish soap and water it efficiently eradicated the ants in my vegetables without damaging the plants or fruits, and without adding any nasty chemicals to the soil. I held back one star because I feel the price is too high for a product made from citrus "scrap." I think, if the price was more reasonable many more folks would use this product for safe fire ant control - an important thing for those of us in Florida!

    It Works

    By Andrea on 05/04/2016

    Combined with 20% vinegar, Medina Orange Oil is a natural and effective plant killing agent. The product was shipped promptly and was carefully packaged. I recommend both Medina Orange Oil and domyownpestcontrol.com

    Ant Mound Killer

    By Jack on 02/04/2016

    I try to stay chemical free in my yard because of free range chickens and a shallow well to water cows. Orange oil has helped me do that. In a one gallon pump up sprayer I add 4 oz. of dawn dish detergent and 4 oz. of orange oil to a gallon of water. I make the ants mad/bring them to the surface and spray them with the solution. Some mounds have to be treated twice. It seems to depend on the size of the mound. I have started to enjoy my spraying sessions and feel I am starting to win back my yard. My house is surrounded by cow pastures on all four sides so it will always be a battle.

    Great Stuff!

    By Rudy on 10/16/2015

    Not only does its bouquet smell like fresh oranges, it does a great job on ants and termites. Used it around the house where ants were invading, stopped them cold! Can't say enough about this product, no nasty chemicals, just good, cold pressed orange rinds resulting in a great cleaner, and insect controller. I will buy more, for sure...

    Love this stuff

    By Andra on 09/27/2016

    I'd been searching for a safe and natural way to control fire ants. I live in the Florida panhandle next to a cow pasture so the problem is endless! I found a formula using blue Dawn and Medina Orange Oil (1.5 oz. orange oil, 3 oz. blue Dawn in 1 gal. water). DoMyOwnPestControl is the best place to get this product that I've found. I love to add a bit of this oil when I clean or mix up one of my indoor repellents. I love my cats, but they dig in my houseplants and scratch furniture. They don't like orange oil, so a mixed repellent spritzed around or cotton ball soaked in this oil placed in the pot keeps them away.

    Love the smell....

    By Debbie on 05/04/2016

    Bought this as a cleaner and ALSO to use for pest control. Supposed to help with ant problems. To date, I have used twice as a "drench" and apparently the ants I used it on like it.....in other words, didn't work! Will try again....perhaps I didn't use enough!? Will update later... However, it is GREAT for cleaning... I added a tsp to my usual homemade cleaning product (vinegar & water with essential oil-used orange oil instead) and it smells great, too!

    Orange Oil and Fire Ants

    By Karen on 04/11/2017

    I bought the oil, because of a recipe to kill mounds of fire ants naturally and safely and in TX, we have lots and lots and lots of fire ants, especially during the rainy season, when they come to the surface...I am still working on the mounds, but have killed several, successfully, so am pleased with the role of the orange oil...also like it for cleaning and just like the smell...thank you for making it available in bulk.

    Medina Orange Oil

    By Marsha on 05/31/2016

    It will kill the ants it touches and it will also kill any plants it touches. I was not happy when I noticed it killed the plants. The ant it did not kill just moved over to another spot.

    Fire ant solution!

    By Debbie on 11/28/2016

    I live and garden in SW Florida where fire ants and Florida red ants are a real problem in my vegetable garden. I have been using Medina orange oil for two years now to rid my raised beds of ants. An ounce and half of orange oil and a few drops of dish washing liquid to a gallon of water and pour it into the nest. Ants die and the remainder leave and no toxic chemicals in my veggies! Highly recommended.

    By Denise on 05/19/2017

    the BEST out there

    By Lisa on 10/07/2016

    MEDINA brand is the best! this is my "go to" cleaner for everything (except floors! it does get very slippery) been using it for over 5 years. used to have ant problems in kitchen and some times bathroom. first year i had to use the oil on a sponge along trails where ever i can detect after cleaning with "the mixture" as general spray cleaner. the dozen of so annual ant problem got less and less during the first year and had no issues during years 2-3. 4th year only had couple occurrence. last year and this year only twice. the scent (this is subjective) is great. i put a splash of this with distilled white vinegar and water as air odor freshener for bathrooms too!

    still loving it

    By A on 06/26/2017

    Been using this for a few years now. I got it as a safe way to kill fire ants in my yard and garden. I mix 1 1/2 oz. Medina Orange oil, 3 oz. dish soap and one gallon water and drench the fire ant hill. Because my property boarders a cow pasture the battle will be a continual one. I've also discovered that the same formula works great as a spray to kill pests on my garden plants with no worries of toxins left behind. It works especially well on nymphs of the leaf footed plant bug.

    Medina Orange Oil

    By David on 03/22/2017

    Only received the product two weeks ago but so far good at killing fire ants, and repelling critters digging up my tomato plants, but you have to spray every day for this

    I love it! Fire ants hate it!

    By Pam on 09/04/2017

    My sister in Texas clued me in to Medina Orange Oil and it's done a great job in fire ant control. 1 1/2 oz orange oil, 1 gallon hot water, a light squirt of original Dawn. Swirl and pour a steady stream in the center of the mound early morning or late evening. DONE...and no poisons near my pets!

    Didn't work:(

    By Rose on 08/12/2017

    Watched a video and read recommendations on using orange oil to kill ants. It didn't work. Sprayed one day and went back to look at the ant hills the following day. They were even more busy rebuilding the ant hill. Obviously the orange oil was an expensive investment that did not work :(

    Orange Oil - Kills Fire Ants

    By J. on 03/16/2018

    I have used a combination of molasses and orange oil to kill fire ants for a few years now. This is the only non toxic way that I know of that effectively kills fire ants. I always buy from DoMyOwn.com. Good price and fast shipping.

    Hawaii808

    By Josephine on 01/27/2019

    I saw the reviews here about fire ants and ordered Medina Orange oil and mxd 2 oz orange oil with 1 oz Dr Bronners liquid peppermint soap in a gallon of water and have gotten excellent results with fire ants, especially if you find the nest location which a lot of times can be at the base of a tree. About 3 or 4 applications in a month will control them. I order this by the case. Thankyou for taping the caps to prevent spillage while enroute to Kona, Hawaii.
