TREATMENT METHOD
Individual mound treatments may take the form of a drench, where the mount is flooded with a large volume of liquid insecticide labeled for this purpose. Individual mounds may also be treated with a surface application of dust or granular formulation insecticide. While baits are generally much slower than direct mound treatments, they are safer and typically more effective if properly applied. When broadcasting fire ant bait, it is important to remember that the product should be applied very sparingly.
