Best ant mound killer // Fire Ant Mound Killer //Fall insect killer // Orthene VS Terro

[@70smusicmama]

i make up a Garlic concoction. Cheap garlic at samsclub. A few spoonfuls in pressure cooker with some herbs like peppermint oregano. Then blend it with my immersion. Strain well. I add some polysorbate80 with some essential oils neem lecithin. All that in a one gallon sprayer. Works better than my neighbor using chemicals. Works for mosquitoes and them other buggers. Plus i can use it around in my garage,porch etc.

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Awesome 👏🏽

[@jamesbarron1202]

Don’t pull the paper off the lid on Orthene. Poke big holes in it and you won’t dump a bunch in one spot. You can spread it more evenly.

[@AwesomeProjects20]

Good idea!

[@daniellang6112]

Ditto

[@Heisenberg55]

I prefer Over'n Out by GardenTech in my lawn simply because I can knock the top off the mound apply and water in so there is no damage to my Zoysia from the dirt mound being left there till the mound dies. Thanks for the info on these two products. I have used Terro products for years with great results and will add this and the Orthene to my arsenal and reserve the Orthene use for the lower 40. Keep em coming.

[@TratUsYT]

Hello sir, I enjoyed the video. I have used the Orthene product and sprinkled it like you recommended, just a small amount. I checked on the ant mounds a few days later. I treated about 10 mounds and all 10 the ants were gone. Very effective product. Thank you!!

[@lukewiley161]

Love this! Orthene is the best I’ve found. You’re right that you need to be careful with its Acephate, but it gets the job done.

[@mgmauricio6946]

Orthene has also worked on the dreaded termites I have found under fire wood I have. Moved the logs slowly applied the Orthene and put the log back. I checked back in two days and it worked.

[@adventuresofaradtech8399]

Hey BYD! Love the channel and thanks for the tips. I have two ant mounds at my place, a big one in the front and a smaller one in the backyard. I used the Terro Ant killer and multipurpose product but mine was in a shaker bag. The instructions on my particular product said to water it in after application. So far so good, it looks like it’s destroying that ant hill.

[@jims1942]

I use the ORTHENE ... it works! :) (and it STINKS!) :)

[@mrhkp2000]

I use Spectricide granular and treat the whole yard as well. The Bermuda that grow out of those ant mounds is some of the best grass in my yard.

[@MrGirishpsis]

Hello, your video really helped me find a good ant killer.

[@jerrycurl2166]

Now this is easy to apply to your lawn but let me show you how to totally get rid of the 💯 percent. Click here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXmrfqJnac19g80

[@Darth_Skater]

I've used the orthene this year, but I actually did the 2 step recommendation and applied the granular across the yard. It's supposed to prevent for up to 6 months(?) I believe. It's doing good for the most part, but I still found a couple little mounds. Not 100% free for 6 months but much better than before.

[@SnowCamo45]

Question. I have bedrock/ clay. Is it ok to let the ants continue to break down the soil?. They're doing a great job.

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Snow Camo I’m only concerned with ants in the lawn and home, so if it’s beneficial to you then let them have at it👍🏾

Is there a product that prevents fire ants ? What do you think of ortho Max 11.5 lb. Fire Ant Killer Broadcast Granules??

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

andrew just like you fertilize you lawn 3 times a season you need to put down insect control a couple times a season. As for prevention this will help, but Mother Nature wins in the end.

[@williemelton7544]

Hey BYD I have been using ortho for years and if anybody ask me about a mound killer to me it’s the best on the market and I tell my neighbors that this is the best , sprinkle it on the mound and come outside the next day u can stick your foot in the mound and if a ant bite you I will treat your yard for free for the whole summer lol I stand by this product 100%.

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Willie Melton it’s the best one that you can walk into any home depot or Lowe’s and buy. It’s been my go too for years 👍🏾

[@SunnyBermuda]

🌞I went all Summer without ants, but they showed up a few weeks ago. Great video, BYD! After the ants die do you rake out the mound with a lawn rake? 👍

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Sunny Bermuda I rake my if they are big like the one you saw in this video. Hope rain 🌧 will push them down. The small ones that you can barely see I leave as is.

For ants specifically, I use Amdro. Ant Block and the Fire Ant. I don't know that we actually have fire ants. Mostly carpenter ants, and the pi$$ ants!. For bugs in general, keeping them out the house, I use Ortho Home defense. Has worked for me for almost 10 years.

[@timh363]

i use the spectricide triazicide for lawn insects . 8 dollar bag at lowes cover 12,000 sqft. broadcast spreader when i fertilize and dont have ant problems. and if i get a mound i just shake some on it

[@dupeesfashionconsultant4204]

I had a couple fire ant mounds in my backyard last week me and my dog stepped on one accidentally and both got quite a few bites. I used that Ortho stuff for the first time (I'm from new York and just moved to north Carolina so I've never dealt with fire ants before. But I put one tablespoon of the Ortho on the four mounds around my house and 12 hours later I didn't see a single ant and 48 hours later I moved over them and the colonies were all completely wiped out. And yes open it outside the smell that comes out is unreal, it's smells like it's made from a dead body

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Oh yes, the smell is Awful 😷, but it works great 👍🏾

[@pedroc2462]

Pedro Cleveland thanks Pedro

[@myluvgobangbang]

I sprinkle the orthene on the mound then poke a hole in the middle and sprinkle more on the hole. I like watching the ants running around in it lol. I know you’re not suppose to do that but it will get rid of the mound.

These ant mounds seem to pop up overnight!! I used the Walmart version of these products and it worked pretty good. I think it’s called eliminator.

[@janewalker1731]

I think you should wear a mask. I'm surprised it works by sprinkling on the mound, as I haven't seen too many ants walking around on top of their mound. Around the base might be better??

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

@@janewalker1731 please read the directions of the product you are using.

I bought Orthene and tried it out, have been using it for a year now. What I have discovered is that within 2 or 3 days later they just pop up in a NEW MOUND a few feet away. You'll just keep chasing them around the yard. Very disappointed... :(

Everytime someone says to watch to the end, i stop watching at that very moment. And when they say to like subscribe bell notifications comment share and tell me in the comments, i just stop right then and there. When opening the youtube app, instead of showing the logo, it should just show like subscribe bell notification and all the same stuff everyone says. Better yet, it should just automatically do each of those things anytime a video is watched.
