Amgrow Patrol Fixant Advanced Ant Sand Insecticide 750g

Amgrow Patrol Advanced Ant Sand: Fast-Acting Outdoor Ant Control

Amgrow Patrol Advanced Ant Sand is a ready-to-use granular insecticide for controlling ants around the outside of buildings and structures in the home garden. Powered by fipronil (0.25g/kg), it gives fast-acting, long-lasting control and is odourless, non-repellent and formulated for outdoor use.

The clever part is how it works on the whole colony. Because it is non-repellent, ants don't avoid it. They walk through it and pick it up, and the sand is also carried back into the nest, so the active spreads through the colony rather than just killing the ants you can see. That is why it is more effective on established nests than sprays that only knock down foraging ants on the surface.

Being a dry sand, it is simple to apply straight from the pack into the areas where ants are active or entering, and the odourless formula makes it pleasant to use around outdoor living areas. It is a practical choice for dealing with ant trails and nests around paths, paving, garden edges and the base of external walls.

How to Use

Apply the sand directly to areas where ants are active or entering, such as along ant trails, around paving, garden edges, weep holes and the base of external walls. Sprinkle it evenly over and around the active area and nest entrances, and leave it in place, do not sweep it up, as the ants need time to walk through it and carry it back to the nest. Reapply after heavy rain or as needed if ant activity continues. Always read and follow the label directions and application rates before use.

Good to Know

For the best results, apply when ants are active and target the nest or trails directly rather than scattering it randomly, since ant sand works by the ants moving through it. It is a non-repellent product, so you may still see ants for a short time after applying while the active works through the colony, which is normal. Keep the treated product in place rather than cleaning it away too soon. As with any insecticide, keep children and pets away from treated areas, store the pack sealed and out of reach of children, and follow all label safety directions.
