Maxforce FC Fire Ant Bait Product Label
Maxforce FC Fire Ant Bait Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
Maxforce FC Fire Ant Bait provides effective control of fire ants with a Simply Irresistible formula and the exclusive Maxforce Domino Effect. Since foraging worker ants cannot eat solid food, they consume and contact the oil in the bait formula and carry the granules back to the nest where they are fed to the larvae. The larvae consume the bait, then regurgitate a liquid food containing fipronil that is fed to the rest of the colony, including the queens, through a process called trophalaxis. The Domino Effect is made possible by the delayed action kill of fipronil. Worker ants are able to make several trips back to the colony with bait before they die so entire colonies are controlled – even in hard-to-reach areas such as under sidewalks and driveways.

I bought maxforce fc fire ant bait to kill those little monsters. I applied flexible doses and followed instructions and it worked really well.
Review by Vernon Gallagher (Posted on Tuesday 04 October, 2011)I'm highly allergic to fire ants, but I love working in my garden and lawn. I really didn't want to worry about fire ants getting in the way of doing what I love the ost and so my husband helped me by using Maxforce fire ant bait. It's really a great product and I don't need to worry about fire ants in my yard anymore.
Review by George P. (Posted on Monday 06 June, 2011)Fire ants are, beyond a doubt, critters that you don’t want to fool around with. If you have a fire ant problem then you need a real solution. Fire ants are no joke and neither is this Maxforce bait. It kills any fire ant that comes into contact with it and quickly eliminates an entire colony. If you have fire ants then you need this stuff!
Review by Dennis Wade (Posted on Thursday 02 June, 2011)Effective product. The label says it all. I was impressed reading its label. And very well enough, I was satisfied with the result after using the product against the fire ants in my lawn. Maxforce Fire Ant Bait is the most excellent solution for eliminating fire ants.
Review by Stephen Spivey (Posted on Saturday 23 April, 2011)I would really recommend this Maxforce fire ant poison product to everyone out there having problems with fire ants. It really is effective, no question about that. I’ve proven it already, now it’s your turn. So try this product!
Review by Sam Mercer (Posted on Monday 21 February, 2011)When you encounter a fire ant infestation, naturally the first you would do is to search for products that would eliminate them. And so, I would recommend Maxforce FC Fire Ant Bait. This product, I can very much attest to, is a great help in getting rid of fire ants!!

Review by Alison Burton (Posted on Friday 03 September, 2010)I've heard it too..."I've used everything else" but it's so true! I really think I've used just about everything else to kill these ants. But I had no regrets since I started using Maxforce Red Fire Ant Bait. Its result was great. Fire ants eventually disappeared.
Review by Trevor D. (Posted on Sunday 13 June, 2010)If you’ve ever been stung by fire ants then you know that they’re a serious problem. What I didn’t know was how much damage they can do to property. We went out to our vacation house, which we hadn’t visited in a few months, and found that we had a fire ant infestation. I had been stung by them when I was a kid so I knew that we shouldn’t mess around with them. We bought the Maxforce bait, spread it around the mounds and went back home for a week or two. When we came back we were free from fire ants and only needed to clean up the corpses. Maxforce fire ant bait saved our vacation home.
Review by Katharine Hall (Posted on Sunday 10 January, 2010)My personal choice for the treatment of ant mounds is Maxforce FC Fire Ant Bait. Ever since I began using this product, seldom do I see ants around my backyard. It is worth the cost. I’m glad to share this to everyone.
Review by Colin E. (Posted on Friday 08 January, 2010)I’m responsible for grounds maintenance at a summer camp. The camp isn’t used during most of the year so when I finally showed up to get it ready for the summer I found quite a bit of fire ants. I’ve done a fair amount of pest control in the past and have had much success with granular bait. I applied the fire ant bait around a few visible mounds and in a few other areas I suspected were infested. It took a couple of days but eventually all the fire ants were dead and we were able to destroy the mounds without being attacked. This is a great product.

Review by Jerry E. (Posted on Sunday 24 May, 2009)I was clearing out some old buildings on my father’s property when I felt an excruciating burning sensation on my leg. I looked down and saw fire ants crawling around the floor. I tried drenching the mound in liquid pesticide but it only seemed to make them mad. I talked to a friend of mine and he suggested that I try a granular bait. He specifically suggested this Maxforce bait because of it’s delayed kill formula. I spread some around the mound and a little through out the property and left it alone. I came back a week later and didn’t notice any fire ants at all. This bait killed all the fire ants and saved me a lot of pain in the process.
