Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer1, Kills the Queen, Destroys up to 162 Mounds, Begins Working in 60 minutes, 12 oz.

No idea how this works as an ant killer, but let me tell you over the last 3 years, only two bottles of this have completely fixed all my roach problems in my apartment. I just sprinkle a little where I see roaches, and it keeps them away for months. It’s so easy to clean up afterward just sweep and mop the powder, and you’re done.In terms of value for money, it’s outstanding. A single container lasts a very long time (lasted me more than a year) since you only need small amounts at a time. The powder itself has a plain, functional appearance nothing fancy, but it does the job. The container comes with a secure seal that keeps the product fresh and easy to store without spills. As for toxicity, I handle it carefully (gloves and washing hands after use), and so far I’ve had no issues indoors as long as I use it sparingly and responsibly.I recommend this to everyone, it’s absolute gold for unexpected pest problems.

I've been dealing with fire ant mounds in my yard for years and had tried several products without much success. I decided to try Ortho-Orthene Fire Ant Killer1 on a recommendation, and it really works much better than expected. Applying the powder is very easy: I simply sprinkled it directly onto the mounds as directed, and in less than a day there was no visible activity. The best part is that it kills the queen, so they don't return to the same location like other products do. A single application was enough to eliminate several mounds in my backyard. The 12-ounce package goes a long way: according to the packaging, it can destroy up to 162 mounds, and from what I've seen, it's true. There's no need to mix with water or use special equipment. It's a very convenient dry powder with visible results in a matter of hours. Highly recommended for those looking for a fast and long-lasting solution against these pests.

Although Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer is designed to eliminate fire ants, I decided to try it for a cockroach problem in my apartment. In just one week, I noticed an impressive reduction until they completely disappeared.In my case, I applied a very thin layer of the powder on the floor, inside the kitchen cabinets, and in the corners, and that made a noticeable difference. The product is easy to use thanks to its dry powder format, and its action was faster than I expected.I was surprised by how well it worked in my situation, even though it’s not its intended use. I always recommend reading and following the manufacturer’s instructions, but my experience was very positive and effective for controlling this pest.

I bought this because I saw TikTok videos about killing cockroaches. I live in an apartment building, and I started seeing them recently. We have regular pest maintenance here but that was not cutting it. I can NOT live with bugs! I sprinkled this stuff around every single baseboard then took my broom to "dust" it into the crevices. It smells like total a** BUT the smell goes away in a day or two. I woke up the next morning and found many dead bugs on my floor. For the next 5 days I continued to find dead bugs. I have not seen another one since day 5 and it has been 2 weeks at least. I left the poison/powder along the floorboards. If you have pets or small children, this is NOT a good idea to do unless you can place it where they have zero chance of touching. This is by far the BEST remedy but be careful as this is intended for outdoor use. I live in a small, one bedroom apartment that is around 850sq ft and I still have plenty of product left. I would highly recommend!

This is hands down the best fire ant killer I've ever used. After trying a few other products with no success, I finally bought this, and it worked like a charm. It completely destroyed a large mound in my yard within an hour. If you're looking for something that actually works, this is it.

“This stuff works fast! I had several fire ant mounds in my yard, and after applying Ortho Orthene, I noticed a major reduction in activity within a day. It’s easy to apply directly to the mound, and best of all—it kills the queen, so the colony doesn’t come back. No mixing or watering needed. If you’re serious about getting rid of fire ants, this is a must-have!”

This ant/insect killer is the best I’ve ever purchased. We had a lot of ants on our car port and I put this out & I haven’t seen a single ant or insect since putting this out. I am very highly satisfied and recommend this problem to anyone with an ant problem. It absolutely gets the job done!

Works so well for roaches. Could never get rid of them until I tried this!
