Fire Ants vs. Nuisance Ants in Florida: Targeted Baits, Perimeter Sprays, and Treating Honeydew-Producing Pests

Winter Haven, FL (central). Open pasture next door. St. Augustine grass, Scott's mulch. Millions of small ants everywhere—flower beds, pool, every plant. Tried Andro, Scotts, Terminex, pro agencies—no luck.

If Fire Ants

Amdro spring & fall + 75% Acephate powder on mounds.

Other Ants

Perimeter spray: permethrin (good) or bifenthrin (better).

Ants on Plants = Honeydew Pests

Ants farm aphids/scale for honeydew. Treat those insects with appropriate insecticide.

Frequency

Apply every 30 days; check label; watch for ants.
