If you have fire ants this stuff is for you. I sprinkle about half a cup around the fire ant mound then stomp on either side of it to stir them up. Once the see the granules they go crazy dragging it back in the ant mound and eating it. The first time I used it I came back the next day and had thousands of dead ants laying around outside the fire ant mound, it was unbelievable. The best part of course is no harsh chemicals that I have to worry about, and my dog never shows any interest in it.
