Fire Ant Fighter Bag

Meet the bait that takes down stinging ants

Fire ants and harvester ants are relentless. But they're also predictable. They forage, they share, and that's exactly how this bait gets them. Spinosad comes from a naturally occurring soil bacterium. Stinging ants find it, carry it back to the mound, and feed it to the colony. Within days, the queen goes down and the mound follows.

One application. Ants handle the rest.


The good stuff inside

  • Safe but savage Bio-based bait, no harsh ingredients
  • Spinosad-powered Derived from naturally occurring soil bacteria
  • Colony control Kills the queen and workers in 3–14 days
  • Fast uptake Bait activity starts in 24–36 hours
  • Long-term prevention Helps stop new mounds for up to 2 months
  • Formulated for fire and harvester ants in the South

How to use

Apply when ants are active, in dry conditions typically above 60°F, early morning or late evening.

  1. For mounds: sprinkle 4 tablespoons around small mounds, 6 tablespoons around large ones.
  2. For prevention: broadcast â…“ to â…” cup per 1,000 sq ft.
  3. Keep bait dry. Do not water in. Let ants carry it home.

For heavy infestations, reapply as needed. For prevention in warmer months, broadcast every other month to keep new mounds from forming.

How do I apply Fire Ant Fighter?

Timing matters. Apply when fire ants are foraging, above 60°F, early morning or late evening. Sprinkle 4–6 tablespoons around mounds depending on size. For broadcast prevention, use ⅓ to ⅔ cup per 1,000 sq ft. Keep bait dry; don't water it in.

Can I use this with other Sunday products?

You betcha. Apply liquid lawn or repellent products first and let them dry completely, then place bait. The key is keeping the bait dry. If it gets wet, reapply.

Is Fire Ant Fighter safe for kids and pets?

Spinosad is derived from natural soil bacteria, but it's still a pesticide, so follow label directions. Place bait carefully and keep kids and pets away from treated mounds until the bait is collected by ants or removed.

What types of ants does Fire Ant Fighter work on?

Fire Ant Fighter is specifically formulated for fire ants and harvester ants, the stinging ants common in the South and Southwest. Regular ant bait won't work on these species. For common household ants like pavement ants or Argentine ants, use the Sunday Ultimate Ant Kit instead.

Is this only for Southern states?

Fire ants and harvester ants are most common in the South and Southwest: Texas, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Alabama, Louisiana, Arizona, New Mexico, and across the Gulf Coast. If you've got stinging ants building mounds in your yard, this is built for that problem.

Fire Ant Fighter Instructions

Good news: You don't need scary chemicals to control fire ants! This cutting-edge formula uses spinosad, a biopesticide derived from a naturally occurring soil bacterium, to control fire ants and harvester ants. When bait is carried back to the nest as food, it kills the entire colony (including the queen) within 3 to 14 days.

It works!

The fire ant killer works as advertised. Ant piles are dead within a few days. There isn't any noticeable smell once the fire ant killer is on the ground. Even when opening the bag there isn't a strong odor. This product works and it's safe for my kids and dogs.

Effective and definitely pet friendly

Worked well to kill fire ant mounds. My only issue was that for some reason my dog loved whatever is in the product. He would eat and lick the mound clean every time I applied it. This product is definitely pet friendly as it never caused any harm to my dog.

Works best if you get 'em mad first.

They definitely seem to like it. You have to stir them up first or they just ignore it.

Ok

Honestly, it didn’t seem to work super well but might have at least helped. It was sort of inconclusive. Weeks later some ants were still coming out of the piles but maybe not as bad
