Perimeter Application: Where perimeter est control is being implemented apply Surefire AntStar Granular Insecticide in a 2-3mm band around and adjacent to the building or structure.
Pad-mounted electrical sites: To reduce or present ant mound-building activity on electrical pads, uniformly distributed 60 to 220gm SureFire Antstar Granular Insecticide per 10m2 of mounting pad. When existing transformers are completely or partially filled with soil excavated by resident ants, remove any excess fill and level the remaining soil prior to application.

As ant nests popup in my paving and around the yard I dose them up and the ant activity stops within a couple days and doesn’t return to the treated nest mounds. Very happy so far with this product and will definitely keep using it.
