PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Small granulated bait, much like wheat germ, that can be safely applied in the yard around the home to control ants but can also be used inside. The grain is flavored so ants love it to death!
TARGET PESTS: All species of ants but other pests will feed on it as well like palmetto bugs, crickets and silverfish.
WHERE TO USE IT: Outside or inside the home.
RATE OF APPLICATION: One Pound will treat 1 acre so the 8 oz “bag” will cover about 20,000 sq/ft when used properly.
Generally you should apply it in small amounts spaced out every 5-10 feet around the homes perimeter or out in mulch or other areas of the yard where ant mounds or trails are seen. Treatments will be active 25-40 days and should be renewed as ants are seen.
Use in conjunction to general yard treatments will PROTHOR to get the best, longest lasting results. Once the ants are gone, expect to retreat every 2-3 months. Try to treat a band around the home which is 5 to 10 feet out.

Hi,
I did apply prothor on the lawn and the perimeters around the house a couple of days ago.
I was wondering if I should apply ABATHOR ANT BAIT on all the area or just the area where the ants have been seen last year. We had ants issue outside last year. I saw a few ants now. Do I need to water it after I apply the granule? If I use Scotts Whirl Hand-Powered Spreader, what number should I use to apply the bait?

Leslie,
So first, applying the bait a few days later is fine. As for the “setting”; the lightest is best but really, just sprinkling some out here and there were you see the ants active is best. I take a small scoop actually, its about a tablespoon, and use it by filling it and then tossing it out hard so the bait is dispersed over 5-10 feet areas.

As for watering it in? Not needed.
