Overview

Take back outdoor spaces with Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer1, a fast-acting mound treatment designed for use around lawns and landscape features. The dry granules begin working in about 60 minutes, targeting the entire colony at the source and addressing active mounds where ants roam. Built for DIY homeowners, this 2-pack delivers straightforward, no-fuss pest control that fits a busy outdoor maintenance routine.

What it does for your outdoor spaces

When fire ants appear, you want a solution that moves quickly from the ground to measurable results. This product focuses on the mound itself, with a formulation that can reduce activity at the source and disrupt the colony dynamics around shrubs, trees, and ornamental plantings. The two 12 oz bottles are designed to cover a wide area, helping you reclaim usable yard space for play, gardening, and outdoor entertaining.

• Kills fire ants and the queen: targets the entire colony to help control ants at the source
• Fast-acting: granules begin working in about 60 minutes for quicker relief
• No watering required: simple sprinkle-on application for outdoor use
• Value-packed coverage: each bottle treats up to 162 mounds, with a two-bottle bundle included

How to use with the Ortho 2-Step System

For best long-term control, pair Ortho Orthene Fire Ant Killer1 with Ortho Fire Ant Killer Broadcast Granules (sold separately). This combination helps prevent new mounds from forming for up to six months when used as part of a broader yard care plan, making it easier to maintain a pest-free outdoor space.

• Easy outdoor application: just sprinkle over each mound according to label directions
• No watering needed: ideal for quick seasonal treatments and tighter spring schedules
• Part of a preventative strategy: use with broadcast granules to extend protection

Usage scenarios and outcomes

Whether you’re maintaining a lush lawn, keeping flower beds clear of ants, or protecting tree and shrub foundations, this product is designed to fit in a typical home exterior. The dry formulation reduces the guesswork and makes monitoring active mounds simpler. Expect a reduction in visible activity as the colony is addressed, with the potential to reduce re-infestation when used as part of a broader system.
