 Fire ant control chemicals are sold under many different trade names. Alabama Cooperative Extension System Circular ANR175A, fire ant control materials for Alabama homeowners, list the materials that are readily available to homeowners based on a yearly survey of retail stores. Fire ant control products vary widely in cost. For example, some of the new consumer bait products are applied at 20 to 40 pounds per acre and costs considerably more than the traditional bait products, which are usually applied at 1 to 2 pounds per acre. For homeowners, broadcast baits cost from $15 to more than $100 per application. Likewise, the cost of chemicals for individual mound treatments varies widely, with most ranging from a few cents to $2 per mound. Broadcast granules containing long lasting insecticides costs from $50 to over $300 per acre.
