so far so good

Time will tell. So far Asend fire ant bait has helped tremendously. I live next to empty lots in Florida so I think the ants come over to my yard and set up camp. I sprinkle some Asend on the mound and in a few days their gone, It doesn't appear that I'm just chasing them around the yard like when I used Amdro. However I did broadcast when I first noticed them foraging. I have a lot of Wild birds in my yard and I did catch them pecking around the broadcast. The young lady at do my own told me the birds wouldn't eat it that they wouldn't like the way it smelled. I found out that birds don't have a very good sense of smell and they appeared to want to eat it. I moved my bird bath to where I wasn't broadcasting to keep them away from the product which helped a lot I also put some wild bird seed there to attract them to the area . Avermectin is known not to be toxic to birds and they even use Ivermectin for certain parasitic infections in birds. But I'm sure they could overdose. I guess its better than any other ant bait in that respect. I'm trying to avoid using a contact insecticide but still may have to if the situation progresses.
