Award Fire Ant Bait Uses / Applications:
Award Fire Ant Bait is slow acting but very effective for control of fire ants. Following application, Award Fire Ant Bait is collected by worker ants and distributed throughout the colony. Within 4 - 8 weeks, there is considerable ant mortality and a continual decline of the fire ant colony. Applications made in the fall may take up to 12 weeks before decline of the colony occurs due to cooler weather.

Methods of Application: Apply Award Fire Ant Bait when ants are actively foraging. This is usually when soil temperatures are above 60°F.

Avoid application during excessively hot periods of the day or when grass or other vegetation is wet. Heavy rainfall within 2 or hours of application may reduce effectiveness.

In cases where re-infestation occurs or when very large mounds remain active, re-treatment may be desirable after 3 - 4 months. Single Mound Treatment: Apply 1 - 3 level tablespoons of Award Fire Ant Bait per mound, uniformly distributing material 3 - 4 ft. around the mound.
Do not contaminate kitchen utensils by use or storage.

Broadcast Application: Apply uniformly with ground equipment calibrated to give the correct dosage.
Apply 1 - 1.5 lbs./A.

Aerial Application: Apply uniformly with aerial equipment calibrated to give the correct dosage. Apply 1 - 1.5 lbs./A. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas.

BIG-HEADED ANT (PHEIDOLE MEGACEPHALA) CONTROL
Broadcast Application: Apply Award Fire Ant Bait uniformly with ground or hand-held equipment calibrated to deliver the correct dosage.
Apply at 1-1.5 lbs./A. Treat surrounding areas, adjacent borders, and fence lines to help prevent ant migration into the treated area.
