Permethrin 0.25%

Frequently asked questions

ANT OUT Ant Killer contains permethrin which is an insecticide in the pyrethroid family. Pyrethroids are synthetic chemicals that act like natural extracts from the chrysanthemum flower. Permethrin can affect insects if they ingest it or touch it. Permethrin kills ants by attacking their neurological systems.

When used as directed, ANT OUT is safe for people and pets. An insect cannot break down the permethrin molecule quickly and therefore is toxic/deadly to insects. People and dogs can break down the molecule quickly. Cats are more sensitive to permethrin than dogs or people due to the fact that it takes their bodies a long time to break it down. Make sure any area is dry before allowing people or pets back into the area.

ANT OUT Ant Killer effects will last up to 2 weeks. The permethrin molecule is broken down by UV rays in sunlight, so the brighter the area sprayed the sooner it will lose its effectiveness.

It does work relatively fast as it will kill ants within 15 minutes to 1 hour.

It is extremely effective in controlling ants. Once an area is sprayed, you will not see any ants for up to 2 weeks. If you want to eliminate an entire colony, we recommend also using Wilson ANT OUT Ant Bait.

ANT OUT Ant Killer contains a water-based formula and will not leave any residue on flooring, carpets, baseboards, patios, sidewalks etc.
