It is a bait that attracts them, the workers feed it to the queen, it has a growth regulator in it and eventually kills the queen in several days,then eventually the whole nest dies after the queen goes. A 1lb. jug will treat 1 acre. Usually only 2 applications per year,unless your having the rains we have been having. If you are in a hurry though,and need something quick, mix dish soap with water and that will kill just about anything that breathes through its abdomen. Its smothers them in seconds. Great on wasp nests,ants, spiders,earwigs,etc.

How much for 20oz bottle of bifen??
