Benefits

No withdrawal period or grazing restrictions on treated areas
Treat all visible fire ant mounds with 3 to 5 tablespoons of Extinguish Fire Ant Bait. Apply evenly to encompass the mound to a perimeter of 4 feet (don't just pu it in one spot ). Do not disturb the mound while applying the bait. If you do disturb the colony, it can cause the foraging workers to avoid the bait and relocate.
