Extinguish® Professional Fire Ant Bait
Extinguish® Professional Fire Ant Bait is an effective bait for fire ant control. Specifically targeted for fire ants, Extinguish® Professional Fire Ant Bait contains (S)-methoprene, an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) that impacts 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.
