Searles Dead Ant Pro

Searles Dead Ant Pro 1kg: Granular Ant Control for Outside the House

Searles Dead Ant Pro is a granular insecticide built to stop ants outside, before they find a way into the house. The active constituent is bifenthrin at 2g/kg, and a 1kg pack treats up to 130 square metres when sprinkled around the areas ants actually travel through: trails, nest entrances and the points where they're getting in around the garden or foundation.

Beyond the nuisance factor, ants around the home often protect and "farm" other garden pests like scale and aphids, moving them between plants and defending them from predators in exchange for the honeydew they produce. Bringing ant numbers down with Dead Ant Pro can make it easier to get scale and aphid problems under control at the same time, rather than treating all three separately.

Why Granules Instead of a Spray

• Bifenthrin-based granules, applied dry and left in place for ants to walk through and carry back to the nest

• Works on the common nuisance ants found around Australian homes and gardens, including black ants, sugar ants and Argentine ants

• 1kg treats up to 130m², useful for larger yards or repeat treatments over a season

• A simple sprinkle application, no mixing or spraying equipment needed

Where and How to Apply It

Apply along ant trails, around nest entrances, and at the points where ants are moving into the garden or toward the house, such as along foundations, paths and garden edges. Water the treated area lightly afterwards to help the granules take effect. As a granular product, it's designed for garden beds, lawns and soil around the home rather than paved or concrete areas.

Keeping the Treatment Working

Treat the trails and entry points ants are actually using, not just the ants you can see, since a granular barrier only works where it's been applied. Rain and watering will break the treated area down over time, so check activity periodically and reapply along the same trails if ants return. Bifenthrin is harmful to fish and aquatic life, so keep it away from ponds, waterways and fish tanks, and keep pets and children off treated areas until they've been watered in.
