HOME USE
These products are designed for the homeowner and are widely available in retail stores, garden centers and farm and ranch supply stores (Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, Home Depot, CoOp, Tractor Supply, etc.). They are sold in small containers with enough material to cover a home yard up to a few acres. For areas larger than about 10 acres, it is usually much more economical to purchase a professional or agricultural product in 25 lb. bags.

DISCLAIMER
This site is intended to cover only broadcast-applied fire ant control products and slow acting fipronil containing granular products. Literally dozens of products are available as individual mound treatments. Contact your local Extension Agent or return to http://fireant.tamu.edu for more information on individual mound treatments.
Because of the constantly changing availability of fire ant insecticides, it is virtually impossible to include every product on the market. Mention of a product on this site does not imply an endorsement by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, the Southern Region IPM Center or any cooperating state. Lack of mention does not imply that the product is not an effective fire ant control product.
These products are available through professional pest control distributors such as BWI, Helena, John Deer Landscapes, Target Specialty Chemicals, Univar, Winfield, etc. They may also be available through farm and ranch supply stores and specialty pesticide suppliers that will sell directly to consumers. Products are usually available in containers of less than 5 lbs. and in 10 to 25 lb bags. The per-pound cost in larger quantity bags can be considerably less than in the smaller containers.
