Best Roach killer of all times
I know it says fire ants but this is the Best kind of Orthene killer for Roaches!!! I live in an apartment and I have OCD! I don’t do any kind of bugs. Every time someone moves out of an apartment close to me and the guys start cleaning and spraying for bugs I see a roach or 2. The big big ones! I started using this 3 years ago every 4-6 months (how frequently ppl move) and now I don’t allow pest control in. It does better than their spray! Gonna need to open windows to air out the place. Use a glove and spoon to spread. 1 bottle lasted 2 years

Ortho Fire Ant Killer
Fire ants are a terrible problem in my state of NC. I have tried numerous fire ant killers. They worked some, but Ortho Fire Ant killer really kills the mound and the Queen. It has a very strong smell, so make sure you wear a mask or don't get down wind of it! It is very quick and easy to use and works quickly too!

My Secret Roach Fix
No idea how this works as an ant killer, but let me tell you over the last 3 years, only two bottles of this have completely fixed all my roach problems in my apartment. I just sprinkle a little where I see roaches, and it keeps them away for months. It’s so easy to clean up afterward just sweep and mop the powder, and you’re done. In terms of value for money, it’s outstanding. A single container lasts a very long time (lasted me more than a year) since you only need small amounts at a time. The powder itself has a plain, functional appearance nothing fancy, but it does the job. The container comes with a secure seal that keeps the product fresh and easy to store without spills. As for toxicity, I handle it carefully (gloves and washing hands after use), and so far I’ve had no issues indoors as long as I use it sparingly and responsibly. I recommend this to everyone, it’s absolute gold for unexpected pest problems.

The best
The best thing for getting rid of cockroaches is the best; they never come back, it just smells a little strange.

Effective and fast! Goodbye to fire ants.
I've been dealing with fire ant mounds in my yard for years and had tried several products without much success. I decided to try Ortho-Orthene Fire Ant Killer1 on a recommendation, and it really works much better than expected. Applying the powder is very easy: I simply sprinkled it directly onto the mounds as directed, and in less than a day there was no visible activity. The best part is that it kills the queen, so they don't return to the same location like other products do. A single application was enough to eliminate several mounds in my backyard. The 12-ounce package goes a long way: according to the packaging, it can destroy up to 162 mounds, and from what I've seen, it's true. There's no need to mix with water or use special equipment. It's a very convenient dry powder with visible results in a matter of hours. Highly recommended for those looking for a fast and long-lasting solution against these pests.

It’s good product, but very strong scent.
Its smell really heavy but a great to use, for ants and protect for your plants, but I also use it for the little roaches I have seen around. But you have make sure you refresh every 6months.

Best I've found yet.
This stuff works if you treat the nest correctly. Stir up the nest to where the Ants come to the surface then powder the nest as if you were applying powdered sugar. Come back it 20-30 minutes and the nest is DEAD.
