Antixx and Firefighter are corn grit granules, soaked in oil and laced with the toxicant Spinosad, which is derived from naturally occurring soil bacterium. It begins killing ants, including the queen, within 24 hours. These products have some edible crops on the label, so please be sure to read the label to see if this product is right for you!
