This outdoor ant kit is a bait used to control various ant species, including Texas leafcutting ants, fire ants, carpenter ants, and odorous house ants. To treat mounds, sprinkle the bait directly onto and around the mound or around the mound for fire ants using a disposable spoon or measuring cup. For protection around structures, apply the bait in a 1-foot wide band around the building perimeter, in flower gardens or around trees, and as a crack-and-crevice treatment on impervious surfaces like patios, driveways, and sidewalks where ants are nesting or trailing.
