EXTINGUISH® PLUS bait is highly attractive to imported and native fire ants and other ants. Worker ants carry the bait into the mound as food for the colony. The ants will then begin feeding the bait to the rest of the colony. They eat it and feed it to the queen. EXTINGUISH® PLUS bait is a unique product containing a slow acting insecticide and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR). This two-way action ensures complete control of fire ants. The IGR prevents rebound of the colony, while the insecticide ensures rapid demise of the colony. EXTINGUISH® PLUS bait will start to kill ants after they feed on the bait. The colony will begin to decline in about a week, after the bait has been brought back to the mound. The mound is destroyed when the queen dies. Further information regarding ants and ant control may be obtained from your Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service.
