A Proactive Approach to Help Control Fire Ants with Extinguish® Plus

No matter the size of the property you own, from a residential property to many acres of land, whether it’s a pasture, grazing area, or rangeland, comes with its own set of challenges. Among these, fire ants can be particularly problematic, posing a threat to livestock, workers, and the land itself. Fire ant infestations can lead to costly damages and safety hazards, making effective control essential.

The Ultimate Fire Ant Solution

Extinguish® Plus is a fire ant bait designed to provide both effective and long-term relief from fire ant infestations. This product combines the rapid action after ingestion of an adulticide, Hydramethylnon, with the prolonged control offered by an insect growth regulator (IGR), (S)-methoprene. This dual-action formula helps ensure comprehensive control over fire ant colonies, safeguarding your land and protecting your investment.

Key Benefits of Extinguish® Plus

Effective Colony Reduction: Initial reduction in fire ant colonies begins within one week, with potential colony elimination visible within two weeks.
Dual-Action Formula: Combines the killing power of Hydramethylnon and the long-lasting effects of (S)-methoprene.
Versatile Application: Suitable for broadcast application at a rate of 1.5 pounds per acre, making it ideal for large areas. Additionally, it offers convenient sizes (1.5 lb. and 4.5 lb.) for spot treatments, ensuring flexibility in addressing specific problem areas.

Efficient Application

For added efficiency, Extinguish® Plus can be mixed with dry fertilizer. This approach allows you to tackle two important tasks simultaneously—taking care of your soil and controlling fire ants.

For large-scale coverage, use a spreader to distribute 1.5 pounds of Extinguish® Plus per acre. Combine Extinguish® Plus with dry fertilizer in a spreader. Ensure even distribution to maximize coverage.
Apply the mixture during dry conditions. Fire ants are not attracted to wet bait, so it’s crucial to apply when the land is dry from dew or irrigation. Avoid applying within six hours of expected rainfall.
Spread it with a hand-held seed spreader, backpack, motorized equipment or aircraft.

Protect Your Investment

Fire ants are a formidable pest, but with Extinguish® Plus, you have a reliable ally in your corner. By implementing this effective fire ant control strategy, you can help protect the valuable investment of your land.
