Does this also kill black ants?

Very effective on fire ants, but I've had mixed results with black, sugar ants. I've switched to another bait for black ants.

Can it be used on organic farms (vegetables and fruits)

Amdro is a trade name for a hydramethylnon-based hydrazone insecticide, commonly used in the southern United States for fire ant control. Amdro was patented in 1978 by the American Cyanamid company, now Ambrands, and was conditionally approved for use by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in August, 1980. It is a delayed-toxicity food chain killer, in which soldier ants carry the bait into the mound and feed it to the queen, killing her and decimating the mound. Amdro uses a corn grit and soybean oil base, and must be used within three months after opening to be effective. Amdro has several drawbacks: (1) when it rains, or the bait is moisturized, Amdro loses its effectiveness entirely; (2) insecticide baits tend to be slow working, and take up to a month to be effective; and (3) Amdro cannot be used on food crops.

do you have to water?

No water is needed. Just sprinkle the bait around the ant hole, but not on top of the hole. It will take about 2 weeks, but the product works!

How long do I have to keep my dogs out of the back yard after applying. Would covering with a can or box help?

Dogs are attracted to this product. My dog ate some and I called the emergency number listed on the product. They told me they often get called about their dog eating this product. Fire ants usually consume this within 24 hours if you don't over-apply. I've used it for over 20 years. Just follow instructions on the product and you can put your dogs out.
