Mound Blitz works as advertised!
This product really works! I had an infestation of carpenter ants on an old tree stump. I applied this product to the top of the stump and they were all gone in a day or so. I also use it on fire ant mounds in my yard and it destroys them quick.

Ant Mound Killer
To be honest, this is the first Fire Ant killer I used in a long time that actually worked. The individual packets are genius. I had a large mound with a lot of busy ants all over the place. I got the Ortho Fire Ant killer and sprinkled all over the top of the mound. The next I checked the mound and all those busy ants were gone. I looked around trying to find where they may have moved, but could not find any more ant mounds. I checked three days later and still could not find any more mounds. I believe that this ant killer really works as advertised and actually kill the mound. Would highly recommend.

Southern fire ants Beware!
We have some tough fire ants here in the south, but they were no match for this Ortho Fire Ant Mound Blitz. I've tried other products but none of them have worked as well as this. Thank you for making this product!
