Your yard is a place for family and pets to enjoy, not insects. Ortho® Bug B-gon™ Lawn Insect Killer works above and below the surface to kill 142 insects. The granules kill by contact and work on ants, fleas, ticks, grubs, spiders, crickets, beetles and more*. This fast-acting pest control kills by contact and starts to kill listed insects except fire ants in minutes. Protect your lawn, landscapes, flower and vegetable gardens, as well as the perimeter around your home against ants for up to 6 months**. Apply at first sight of insect activity or damage. You can also preemptively apply in the early spring to prevent infestation. Use a Scotts® spreader to apply granules, and then thoroughly water in the area after application. Allow the area to dry before people and pets re-enter. One 10 lb. bag treats up to 16,500 sq. ft. of lawn and landscape. *see back panel for full list **excludes pharoah, carpenter and harvester ants
