Siesta Insecticide Fire Ant Bait is best applied as a broadcast treatment where foraging ants and mounds that remain hidden or unnoticed receive coverage. Broadcast treatments can be applied to the area using a hand spreader, backpack or push-type spreader. For larger acreage, spreaders can be attached to an ATV, truck, or tractor to allow for even coverage. Calibrate spreader prior to use to apply a rate of 1.0–1.5 lb./A.
