Ferti-Lome Come and Get It II Fire Ant Killer
Control fire ant colonies and queens with Ferti-Lome Come and Get It II Fire Ant Killer. Ready-to-use spinosad bait for home lawns and labeled gardens.
Ferti-Lome Come and Get It II Fire Ant Killer uses a food bait to carry 0.015% spinosad into the colony. Foraging ants collect the granules and share them inside the nest, helping control the colony, including its queen.
This ready-to-use bait requires no mixing or watering in. Apply it to individual mounds or broadcast it across labeled residential areas. Ants commonly begin dying within 24–36 hours; mound control generally takes 3–14 days, and broadcast treatments may take longer.
