Why does the label say this doesn't work for fire ants even though some reviewers have said they worked on fire ants?

I would only assume that Terro tested on Fire Ants and didn't get 100 percent kills, or satisfactory kills. It may kill some fire ants, to a home owners liking, but not to Terro specifics.

what color is this? White powder? How big are the granules? Similar to Sugar in the Raw?

They are kind of a yellowish color and they are approximately the size of course sugar. I get ants of all sizes eating this stuff, even the extremely small red ants that you could hardly see. They just seem to break it apart.

So is this mainly a repellent, poison, or both? And how long does it last till the next application?

This product is an ant bait, where they would gather it and return with it to the colony. It will kill both the ants that you see and those still in the colony. This product can be reapplied as needed. We recommend checking every 1-2 weeks to see if the bait is still visible, if it is not and there are still ants, more should be applied.

Does Terro work on other insects, or just ants?

TERRO® Perimeter Ant Bait Plus (T2600) will be effective against ants (except fire ants), cockroaches, crickets, earwigs, silverfish, slugs and snails. This product will not harm beneficial insects (ladybugs and butterflies).
