Product Overview
Extinguish® Plus Fire Ant Bait — Dual-Action Granular Bait for Fire Ants & Other Ants
Extinguish® Plus Fire Ant Bait is a two-way granular bait from Zoecon / Central Life Sciences that pairs the slow-acting insecticide hydramethylnon with the insect growth regulator (S)-methoprene. Foraging workers carry the bait into the mound and feed it to the colony and queen — hydramethylnon ensures rapid colony decline while (S)-methoprene sterilizes the queen and stops brood development, destroying the colony and preventing rebound. Labeled for indoor and outdoor use with up to 6 months of long-lasting control.
Key Features
- Two active ingredients: Hydramethylnon 0.365% (Group 20 bait toxicant) and (S)-Methoprene 0.250% (insect growth regulator)
- Controls imported & native fire ants, harvester, big-headed, and Argentine ants
- Two-way action destroys the colony including the queen; up to 6 months of control
- Indoor & outdoor use: residential, commercial, turf, nursery, and pasture/rangeland
- EPA Reg. No. 2724-496; signal word CAUTION; general-use product
