WHY AMDRO INSECT KILLER GRANULES IS SO EFFECTIVE: 1. AMDRO Insect Killer Granules is highly attractive to many insect species, including roaches (German, American, Oriental, Smoky Brown), Ants (acrobat ants, Argentine ants, bigheaded ants, carpenter ants, cornfield ants, crazy ants, field ants, fire ants, ghost ants, harvester ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants, Pharaoh ants, thief ants and the Texas leafcutting ant), crickets and firebrats. 2. AMDRO Insect Killer Granules are carried directly into the ant mound by workers ants as food for the colony. Inside the mound, AMDRO Insect Killer Granules is passed to the queen, as well as to other ants. By the end or one to four weeks, the queen and most of the ants in the mound will have eaten this product and died. 3. When the queen is dead, no new worker ants can be produced, so the mound dies. 4. Ants think that Amdro is food. They carry it into the colony and share it with other ants and the queen. When the queen dies, the colony dies.

This formula contains a special blend of foods, combined with the delayed-action stomach poison, hydramethylnon. The delayed action of the active ingredient allows foraging ants to bring the bait back to the nest so that the entire colony, including the queen, is destroyed. When properly used, this bait will control many of the following insects, including ants, cockroaches, crickets and firebrats before they can enter a structure. Do not apply other (such as aerosols, sprays, etc) on top of or in close proximity to this product, as it will reduce the effectiveness. You should see (expect to see) fewer ants (insects - or - roaches - crickets) within a week.
