If we put this around the perimeter of our house, will there be "drift" via ants or wind to other areas of our yard where there are berries & herbs?

I don't think so. So little is required to stop the ants - just a sprinkle and it works. No need to do the whole perimeter of the house - just in a few spots and it does the job. Make sure you keep the container stored inside for maximum shelf life

My issue is carpenter ants in a tree. should i just sprinkle the granules around the perimeter of the tree? the ant powder i applied has washed away

You will need to put it where the ants can find it. In the tree, around it wherever. It doesn't take much.

Will this kill pharaoh ants?

I don’t know what pharaoh ant is. After hurricane HARVEY our yard was full of fire ants. Called an exterminator and watched him ONLY use this product. I asked him was that all he was going to do ? YES he replied. He told me to call him back no charge within 2-5 days if I still had ants. I DID call him back and got the name of the product. It works for sure on fire ants. If I see any ants now, I just sprinkle area I see them. Then they are gone.

Will this harm a 3 year old oak tree. Ants are about 18" away in dirt under mulch pile

No, it will not harm the tree. Quote directly from manufacturer's label "Be sure to treat areas such as porches, patios, driveways, sidewalks, flower gardens, landscape timbers and around trees, wood piles, air conditioning units and garbage receptacles. DO NOT USE ON EDIBLE FOOD CROPS OR ON AREAS INTENDED FOR EDIBLE FOOD CROP PRODUCTION."

Maxforce success achieved

They’re gone! This 2026, I was eager for spring to arrive to determine if the red ants would reappear from their nest. They did not! Following several years of inactivity due to unsuccessful methods, I discovered Maxforce last fall 2025, as the nest was becoming less active with the approach of winter. With time running out before the ants dug in for the winter, I applied multiple small applications daily to three large separate nests on my extensive property. Although I observed reduced activity, the true test was to wait for spring. I am delighted to report that the ants have been completely eradicated and have purchased another bottle as a precautionary measure in case their relatives migrate to this area.

Works ok but need something else to keep ants from coming back

Did the trick for clearing out the fire ants, but only for so long, and since the ants had invaded the dishwasher, had to hand-wash for the three days it took for the bait to finally kill them all off, and then run a couple cycles of the dishwasher to get the bait residue out. Not useful for keeping the ants from returning--had to use a peppermint spray every-other day to finally keep them at bay for good.
