Does this help with any other lawn pests such as ants?

Renee:From what I have read, there are some organic pesticides made from castor oil and dish detergents. I don't know what the mixing ratios are though. A little searching on the internet may turn up some possibilities. Good Luck.Sterling

It works for moles but I still get ant invasions once in a while, but never close to the house, so far. So I doubt the castor oil works for other pests.

I checked with my husband and he said "yes it does inhibit new growth as well kill current suckers". I know this is the only product that works for us and it is far more expensive at the local nursery. Hope this is helpful to you.

Sorry I ordered this for my son-in-law to use for ants. It works on termites and ants. Wish I could help more.

We also bought this for ants. Does a great job with them & anything else that comes into the areas that are sprayed.

Yes, just make sure you put the pressure sprayer wand into the mound. Works on our fire ants but you need to get it to., the queen to eliminate the colony.

I have used this product on grass with no negative effects. I've even used it on blooming tea roses that were full ofreally aggravating ants! Worked perfectly ... no harm to the roses. Hope this helps.

No, says the pest control company that recommended this to me. This products works. Put a line in an ant path and they go after it. Used this for years.

Yes, but there is an Advion fire ant bait specifically for use outdoors for fire ants. To quote Dupont's literature; ""DuPont ADVION ant gel is specifically formulated to be attractive to all major pest species of ants such as Acrobat, Argentine, Big-headed, Carpenter, Cornfield, Crazy, Field, Ghost, Harvester*, Honey, Little black, Odorous house, Pavement, Pharaoh*, Pyramid, Red Imported Fire Ant*, Rover, Thief, and White-footed. ADVION ant gel contains the active ingredient, indoxacarb, a non-repellent insecticide. Use of ADVION ant gel will help eliminate ants within days of applying the gel according to the use directions. *ADVION ant gel is effective at killing Pharoah ants, foraging red imported fire ants and harvester ants. For complete control of outdoor nests of these species, use additional treatments labeled for outdoor nest control of these species.""

I only used on lawn so sorry I can't answer this question. It did not harm my Tifblair Centipede or St. Augustine grass. It did get rid of Bahia and wild burmuda.

Nothing that I could detect. Cheaper price. I use it for big head ants in Florida along the house perimeter, around the yard and around palm trees bases. It works great. For ants its a more diluted rate than for termites. I'm very happy with the results.

It will and bugs. But works well . Use less and no ants . Way less more often and this stuff youcant beat the yield increase.

I'm not sure, but would give it a try. I use it as a "generic pesticide" and it manages to minimize all the little "pests" around here in Tulsa. Heard about this at Home Depot (an employee said they use this to spray their stock - at least at the store I frequent). Your "biting ants" may (or may not) be too resistant for this, but it's certainly worth a try.

FC Ant Killer is what I used. The add for it does in fact identify carpenter ants as one of the targeted species. I was getting some ants inside so I did some baiting indoors. However I noticed when I left my grill cover on the raised wood deck for a few days there were a number of carpenter ants hiding under it when I lifted it up. I treated that area and squirt some on the ground through the deck slats and recovered the area with the grill cover for 3 days (treating one additional time). Ants have disappeared.

While not an expert on ants, I do believe (based on the pictures) that I have some carpenter ants at my cabin. This Terro Ant Killer has greatly reduced my ant problem with all ants. There are still a few but nothing like before. For the price, it's definitely worth trying. I've got to order some more for my mother who has an infestation of thousands of small ants in her house. Wish I could answer your question with 100% certainty. I would, however, be surprised if it didn't work on carpenter ants. Terro has a website where they will answer any questions or concerns that you might have. http://www.terro.com/guide-ants.php

I wouldn't recommend doing that with this particular product. Use Virbac Yard Spray, a 16 oz. sprayer that treats up to 6,000 sq. ft. It kills fleas, ticks, and fire ants. The product description says it doesn't harm your lawn, although it may require several treatments. Virbac Knockout ES Area Treatment is for use indoors, and I'm willing to bet it won't be as effective outdoors.

No, it does not. T o kill ants I use a home remedy of diatomaceous earth (found on amazon) you sprinkle it in problem areas and it is safe. You can also mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar together and leae it near their trail or if you can locate the colony then I would apply it there. My spider and ant problem out of the kitchen and around the exterior of the house, I use ortho home defense.

It didn't hurt any other plants but it didn't get rid of my weeds. I used it on my grass and near flowers and trees it might do well in a small area.
