Professional insect control for nurseries and greenhouses

Product Information

Fire ants go everywhere. Extinguish® can, too.

The USDA estimates that fire ants cause nearly $6 billion of damage annually in the United States. Commercial growers that have to battle fire ants understand the economic and environmental impact to their businesses. Extinguish® Professional Fire Ant Bait and Extinguish® Plus Fire Ant Bait from Central Life Sciences can control fire ants without concern about rebounding or movement of the colony to another location.

Extinguish® Professional Fire Ant Bait

Extinguish® Professional Fire Ant Bait is an effective bait that eliminates problem fire ant colonies. Specifically targeted for fire ants, Extinguish® contains methoprene, an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) (S-Methoprene) that affects a fire ant queen's reproductive abilities. As existing workers die naturally, they are not replaced by a new generation. The queen eventually starves to death and the entire colony is eliminated.

Extinguish® Professional Fire Ant Bait solves the problems that make control difficult and inconvenient, and can be used in many locations.

  • Approved for use where cattle and horse graze with no worries about withdrawal periods

Extinguish® Plus Fire Ant Bait

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
  • Available in 1 lb, 4.5 lb and 25 lb containers
