Hey Lily,
Fipronil Granular Ant Killer is highly effective for controlling fire ants and other ant species. Its active ingredient, Fipronil, is a non-repellent that disrupts the ants' central nervous system. Ants unknowingly carry the granules back to their colony, spreading the toxic effect and eliminating the nest.

Yes, Fipronil Granular Ant Killer is effective against Bull ants. The granules are designed to be carried back to the nest, targeting the colony at its source. For best results, apply the product as directed on the label, focusing on areas where Bull ants are active.

Fipronil Granular Ant Killer works by targeting foraging ants, which carry the bait back to the nest. Even if some ants don’t make it back, the ones that do share the toxic bait with the colony, eventually eliminating the nest. Always follow the product label for best results.

Hey Marg,
Fipronil Granular Ant Killer is generally considered safe for use around small dogs when applied as directed, but some precautions should be taken:

1. The active ingredient, fipronil, is commonly used in veterinary products for flea and tick control in dogs. The concentration in ant killer products (0.25g/kg) is typically lower than in pet treatments.

2. When applied correctly, the granules settle deep in the grass, making it difficult for animals to consume large quantities.

3. Fipronil has a wide margin of safety for dogs when used as directed. The EPA has determined fipronil to be safe for use on dogs when proper precautions are taken.

However, it's important to note:
- Ingestion of large amounts could potentially cause adverse effects. Symptoms of fipronil toxicity in dogs may include neurological signs such as convulsions, tremors, and ataxia.
- Keep dogs away from treated areas until the product has settled into the grass and soil.
- Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when applying the product.
