Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait

Extinguish Plus combines the power of hydramethylnon with an insect growth regulator (IGR) to kill fire ant workers and prevent queens from laying fertile eggs. The result is complete fire ant colony control. Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait is best used in the spring or early fall, or whenever fire ants are active. The ants will feed off Extinuish Plus and spread the bait throughout the entire colony, halting the infestation within weeks. Extinguish Fire Ant Bait can be used indoors and outdoors on lawns, pasture land, rangeland, landscaped areas, and golf courses.

Now you can have fast acting, long lasting fire ant control. Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait is the only dual active fire ant bait that kills the workers and sterilizes the queen. Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait is highly attractive to fire ants. It combines the killing speed of an adulticide (Hydramethylnon) and the long-lasting control of an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) (S-Methoprene). The IGR sterilizes the queen and prevents rebound, while the fast acting adulticide kills problem worker ants. This two-way action ensures complete control of fire ants.

• Controls and eliminates colonies without colony relocation
• Stops young colonies from developing into problem colonies
• Destroys visible and hidden colonies
• Approved for indoor and outdoor use
• Starts killing ants immediately after ingestion
• Can be used as a broadcast application or used to treat individual mounds
• Can be used on pasture and rangeland

 

When should I apply the bait?

• While spring and fall are the best time to apply the bait, you may apply as needed, when ants are active and foraging (usually early morning or late afternoon with soil temperatures above 60° F).
• To determine when ants are foraging, place a potato chip near the mound. If ants do not feed in a few minutes, try the test again later and apply product when feeding occurs.
• Apply product when area is dry from dew or irrigation. Do not apply product within 6 hours of a rain event. Wet bait is unattractive to ants.

Broadcast application

• Use 1.5 pounds per acre.
• Spread with a hand-held spreader, backpack, motorized equipment or aircraft.
• Set the spreader at the lowest setting, treating the outer perimeter first. Then apply in a strip pattern within that area.

Individual mound treatment

• Use 2-5 tablespoons per mound.
• Distribute bait uniformly around each mound.
• Do not disturb mound during application.

Refillable bait stations

• Place one station every 15-30 feet along the perimeter of a structure or fence line. Also place them near potential entry points, including weep holes, foundation vents, stairs and decks.
• Place up to 2 tablespoons of bait per station.
• Inspect stations frequently and replenish bait as it is soiled or has become wet.

Indoor Use

Apply bait ONLY into crack and crevices. Apply 2 teaspoons - 1 tablespoon per crack, crevice or other in accessible areas where ants are entering the structure or where ants are nesting.

Is Extinguish^® Professional Fire Ant Bait or Extinguish^® Plus waterproof? How do weather conditions affect it?

If Extinguish Professional Fire Ant Bait or Extinguish Plus gets wet, it will have reduced palatability, and therefore reduces results. The product should be applied while ground conditions are dry and where rainfall is not expected for more that six hours. Most foraging ants will pick up the bait within six hours after placement.

1 of 1 people found this review helpful:   Fire Ants in Tampa, Florida By David on June 13, 2010 A friend of mine from Texas recommended this product to me. I am allergic to Fire Ant toxins. When I sprinkle this stuff over the mound, the ants grab it quickly and take it down the ant hole. The mound and ants are gone by the next day. Was this review helpful to you?

1 of 1 people found this review helpful:   Extinguish-Plus for Myrmica Rubra By Jeremy on July 8, 2010 I have been studying the effectiveness of various toxicants in controlling a serious northern fire ant infestation on a small island on the coast of Maine. So far, the most practical combination seems to be an Inssect Growth Regulator (IGR) followed by Hydramethylnon. Initially, I used Mrethoprene (Extinguish) and hydromethylnon (Amdro) sequentially, separated by about a week, then, a few weeks later, followed up with The two together (Extinguish-Plus). This seems to have virtually eliminated the fire ants from the treated area, at least for the present season. In another area. I used the Extinguish-Plus alone about a week ago. So far I have seen many piles of dead ant carcasses, indicating that the bait is working, but there are still plenty of worker ants busily carrying away more carcasses, so only more time will tell whether the substances used togetgher is as good as the two used separately. I welcome the experience of others using these and other toxicants. Was this review helpful to you?
