Question 1

If we put this around the perimeter of our house, will there be "drift" via ants or wind to other areas of our yard where there are berries & herbs?

Accepted Answer

I don't think so. So little is required to stop the ants - just a sprinkle and it works. No need to do the whole perimeter of the house - just in a few spots and it does the job. Make sure you keep the container stored inside for maximum shelf life

Question 2

My issue is carpenter ants  in a tree. should i just sprinkle the granules around the perimeter of the tree? the ant powder i applied has washed away

Accepted Answer

You will need to put it where the ants can find it. In the tree, around it wherever. It doesn't take much.

Question 3

Will this kill pharaoh ants?

Accepted Answer

I don’t know what pharaoh ant is. After hurricane HARVEY our yard was full of fire ants. Called an exterminator and watched him ONLY use this product. I asked him was that all he was going to do   ?
YES he replied. He told me to call him back no charge within 2-5 days if I still had ants. I DID call him back and got the name of the product. It works for sure on fire ants. If I see any ants now, I just sprinkle area I see them. Then they are gone.

Question 4

Will this harm a 3 year old oak tree. Ants are about 18" away in dirt under mulch pile

Accepted Answer

No, it will not harm the tree.  Quote directly from manufacturer's label "Be sure to treat areas such as porches, patios, driveways, sidewalks, flower gardens, landscape timbers and around trees, wood piles, air conditioning units and garbage receptacles. DO NOT USE ON EDIBLE FOOD CROPS OR ON AREAS INTENDED FOR EDIBLE FOOD CROP PRODUCTION."
