Extinguish Plus Ant Bait: Professional Application Protocol


Product Overview

Extinguish Plus is a dual-action fire ant bait formulated with hydramethylnon and (S)-methoprene for effective colony elimination. Its delayed-action insecticide and insect growth regulator disrupt the ant’s life cycle, ensuring long-lasting control.


Application Guidelines

Timing:
Apply when ants are actively foraging, ideally in the early morning or late afternoon when soil temperatures exceed 60°F. Monitor weather conditions and avoid application if rain is expected within 6 hours.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Adhere to label requirements and wear appropriate PPE, including long-sleeved shirt, long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, shoes, and socks.


Outdoor Application

  • Target: Isolated fire ant mounds.

  • Rate: 2-5 tablespoons per mound, evenly distributed in a 12-18 inch diameter circle around the mound.

  • Caution: Do not disturb the mound.

Broadcast Treatment

  • Target: Large areas, new mound prevention, commercial turf.

  • Rate: 1.5 lbs per acre, applied uniformly with a granular spreader.

  • Rate: Up to 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) per station.

  • Placement: Every 15-30 feet along perimeters, near entry points, or problem areas.

  • Maintenance: Inspect and replenish bait regularly.


Indoor Application

  • Rate: 0.25-0.5 ounces (2 teaspoons – 1 tablespoon) per crack, crevice, or void.

  • Secured Attics/Crawl Spaces: 0.25 ounces (2 teaspoons) per 100 square feet.

  • Equipment: Duster or similar applicator for precise placement.


Florida-Specific Considerations

  • Weather: Monitor rainfall and irrigation schedules closely. Avoid application before or during rain or irrigation.

  • Citrus Groves: Exercise caution near citrus trees; consult label for specific instructions to protect beneficial insects.


Post-Application Care
