Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fire Ant Control W/Conserve- 1 lb.
Customer Review: 20 years of battling fire ants and finally a reliable control !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
We love this product and buy it by the case for use on our 15 acre farm. We love it so much we're thinking of building out another web site just to sell it.
We are inundated by fire ants this year in central Florida possibly due to the amount of rainfall. We have had fire ants trailing up our exterior walls, into our soffits and in our garage.
For years our defacto standard has been 93% d'limonene (diluted to 5%) as a spot control and cedar oil as a barrier. Neither typically kill the queen and certainly never kill polygynous (multiple) queens.
This is the only organic product that has worked for us and we have tried them all. We've begged university researchers to let us test Thelohania infected fire ant larvae on our property or release Phorid flies here. We've even experimented with a Old World Bluestem grass called WWB Dahl which supposedly has an odor that fire ants don't like. We're not experts but have been battling these little [...] for 20 years.
We are seeing more and more multiple queen nests and those seem to be very linear in appearance. Often it takes multiple applications of GreenLight to terminate all the queens. One part of the nest may be killed but a new section pops up a foot away.
If applied early or late in the day or when overcast - the ants typically come blasting out to investigate.
They love the soybean based carrier and it's great there is something soy is good for. It sure isn't as a human food.
Within an hour the ants have usually carried all 3 or 4 tablespoons of product into the nest. Twelve hours later the activity is reduced by at least 95% with only a few workers active. It's fun to watch them take the bait in a feeding frenzy.
Large grasshoppers, carpenter ants and Argentine ants also take this bait although the label doesn't mention it as being effective on anything but fire ants and Texas harvester ants.
One concern was the ants developing resistance to Spinosad (Conserve). We've been assured by a fire ant expert (PhD) that there is no record of a social insect developing a resistance to a pesticide due to breeding with surrounding untreated colonies and therefore swamping any possibility of adaptive selection.
We'll be broadcasting it over 11 acres soon in an effort to get control and avoid all the spot treatments. Contact us through LilDonkeys (the dot com not the dot org) in Dunnellon, Florida if you wish to find out about the success of our broadcast application.
Description of Fire Ant Control W/Conserve- 1 lb.
Green Light Fire Ant Control is attractive and deadly to fire ants. Fire Ants quickly find/pickup this bait, take it back to the mound, and feed it to the entire colony including the queen(s). Ants start dying in 24-36 hours with mound/colony destruction in 3 to 14 days. Broadcast applications may take longer.Personal Care
