Review: Bien muy bien - I’ve tried many products for fire ants, but this one really works! Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer starts working within minutes, and I could see the results almost right away. The best part is that you don’t need to water it in—just sprinkle it on the mound and let it do its job. It kills the queen and completely destroys the mound, which means the ants don’t come back like they usually do with other treatments. The container is easy to use, and one bottle goes a long way since it can treat many mounds. It’s definitely worth the price for the effectiveness. If you’re dealing with stubborn fire ants, I highly recommend this product.
