Actually worked. Tried other solutions but this one actually killed the fire ants and haven't seen a new mound in two weeks so am hopeful.

We had never had roaches before but after a new huge warehouse was built down the street, we noticed a sudden influx of brown roaches coming out of our bathroom sink drain. Not a ton, but maybe about 5 really small ones and three large ones here and there. We tried bug sprays, vinegar and baking soda mixtures, peppermint sprays, other essential oil sprays, literally everything! Finally, I saw something about this powder on TikTok and everyone swore it got rid of their roaches. I promise you, this works! There are several different methods, some people mixed it with water, some with sugar, on paper plates, etc. but the only thing I did was sprinkle it as is on the edges of my baseboards in every room, outside of the doorway and overhead garage doors, on my window ceils, under my stove (just in case), under my fridge (just in case) in the corner of my pantry floor (just in case) and under my sink. I also sprinkled a little near the drain of my sink every single day (because this is where i originally saw the first roach crawl out of). It smells bad, like rotten eggs but that is only when you first use it, it fades away pretty fast after that. I did see two or three really small roaches the next day (dead) and then did see a dead small roach on the 2nd day as well as two live ones so I then repeated the application in all the same spots and never saw a roach again. It's been over two weeks and they are completely gone (i was seeing live ones on the daily for about a week straight before). I am so glad someone found a solution that works. Keep in mind, I do not have small children or pets so if you do, this may not be the solution for you.

This works better than nothing but in my judgement is not as effective as Amdro yard treatment. I am still noticing g some fire ant beds so will switch back to Amdro in the fall.

Living in South Florida, we would get waves of medium and tiny ants invading our townhouse all throughout the year. Huge nuisance, would treat indoors by placing Terro baits wherever the ants swarmed to, which was effective but unsightly and a pain in the butt.Few years ago I noticed ant colonies in a ground planter near my front door, and also in some of the potted plants in my front courtyard. These were definitely not fire ants (living in FL, you betcha I know the difference!) but my research on granular ant killers told me that, basically, an ant is an ant, and this product will kill any ant that comes in contact with it. It's cheap enough at $5, so I bought a bag and sprinkled it everywhere in my front courtyard where there was soil, and watered it in.Halleluiah Chorus!!! Not only did it wipe out all of the ants in my front courtyard, but when my neighbors were complaining about the ritual ant invasions into their townhouses, I thought "Huh. We're not seeing a single ant, haven't for months..." The light bulb went off in my brain at that point, and ever since we've applied this product every 3 months to all of the soil and potted plants around our home. Even the pots on the balcony. For the past 3 years, I have only noticed ants in the house maybe 1 time and had to set out a Terro bait. I'd say it cut down our nuisance indoor ants by 90%.Wish I'd figured this out years ago, so wrote this review to maybe help others who are fighting the good fight with ants coming indoors - the trick is to cut them off at the pass. Cheers!

It killed all ants in my yard. And I had alot. Very easy to use, no smell and works as it should. I stuck it in my grass seed spreader and it was not clean up after.
