It'll do the trick temporarily

But they'll eventually come back.
Best bet is to just get a lawn company that will cover all the bases. I use Fairway Lawns and I haven't seen a fire ant mound on my property in two years.

I thought I used knockout last year and it worked solid for 6 months....so I did it again this year. Nothing. Then I said let's spend twice as much, that should work. Nothing.

I drove a C43 and it frightened me. I would have 100% killed myself if I got that thing, can’t even imagine how fast the 63 is. I got a CPO C300, this is the car to get me out of the 4Runner and didn’t want to spend too much. #### it’s so sweet though. I think when it’s time to buy the car car, I’ll want to make it my own and spend the guap to buy new.

Watching that lawn fellow do his work while I just kick back an ordinary glass of Pappy in my Ralph Lauren Polo button downs, sittin' in my Tommy Bahama beach chair in the driveway.
I may have to cut him back to just two days a week what with the price of premium unleaded and all right now.

See ant mount, sprinkle on it, give it a little kick just because it's amusing to see them carry poison into their nest. It's not instant, but a day or two later, they're dead as fuck. Are you disappointed that it's not instantaneous, like wasp spray or something?

Me not wearing socks.
ants biting me... probably because you you aren't wearing socks.
well I AM wearing socks... yea, but they're not tall enough.
You know that ants will just climb over the socks and bite me... no, that's not how they work.
it's a running joke in my family, anytime somebody gets bit by ants... well did he/she have SOCKS on????

I use this stuff like therapy for me. Take my pitchfork when they are active and walk around stabbing the mounds and dusting all the antses that I just made mad. Pro Tip: Don't do this barefoot or with sandals on. Kills queen about 80-90% of the time then a follow up. I have about 6-8 acres of open area and it does a satisfactory job. I just like coming back in 30 minutes and seeing all the little dead bastigages.
