Green Light Fire Ant Bait
|
|
Green Light is a fire ant control product that is designed to be organic and environmentally safe. If you're concerned about using chemicals on your lawn or property, then this might be a good option for you. It uses Spinosad, which is a natural ingredient derived from bacteria that live in soil. When ingested by insects, it causes damage to their nervous systems and kills them within a day or two. It has been used in organic pesticides in the last few years because only certain kinds of insects can eat it, and those are for the most part pests (so you won't do much damage to friendly insects in your gardens or yard).
Benefits:
1) You don't have to add water to use Green Light, whereas you do for a lot of other granule products.
2) It's environmentally safe and organic.
3) It works for a decent period of time after you put it out - about 2 months.
4) It kills other pests as well, including fleas, scorpions, ticks, and mosquitoes.
5) It will kill off a mound entirely within three days to two weeks.
Buy Online:
You can buy Green Light online here for about ten bucks a bottle. One bottle usually kills twenty mounds or so.
