Customer Reviews for Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait

The stuff is really fantastic! As long as the climate conditions are right; rising pressure, not too hot or too cold, usually best some day after a rain storm, they take it up and then it takes awhile, but works great. Thank you very much.

I have treated several mounds twice in the past 2 weeks and they are still thriving! The ants take the bait but it doesn't kill! Huge waste of money, I'm going to try to get a refund after I finish this review. I have much better luck with the stuff from the big box stores.

Worked just as advertised. I applied in early September after being sure the ants were foraging. (I placed a potato chip near a few ant piles and came back an hour later and the chips were covered with ants). I spread with a broadcast spreader at a very light setting and they were gone within a week. Also, it did not rain for several days after applying which I think gives the ants time to gather the bait. Highly recommend this product for ants in the Houston Texas area.

This product has worked great on my ant problem with great success. Every new mound has been taken out.

I have purchased Extinguish for over 5 years!!! This stuff works, period. Recently, I noticed a huge red ant colony by a fence post I was replacing. I got the Extinguish out and thought I would come back the next day to dig. Within 1 1/2 hours I started digging and the colony was gone!!!! If you have fire ants on your property USE EXTINGUISH....PERIOD!!!

This product definitely makes a mound inactive within a few days, but it seems the ants just pack up and move to a different spot. For every mound I kill, a new one appears within a week. It's a never ending battle.

The product works very well, and it did not take the 8 weeks they said, No fire ant beds in my yard after a couple of days. The reason for a 4 star, it was hard to distribute 1lb per acre. How ever I weighted out a pound and then I had to get a little more because I spread too much but it was very effective, I will use this again.

A very effective Fire Ant Bait. I treated 10 acres with 25 lbs. of this Bait on March 1st. It is critical in the delivery of this product that it is broadcast as indicated on the label. I used an electric vibrating / spinning wheel broadcast system mounted on a 3pt. hitch on my tractor. It is virtually impossible to see the chemical that is broadcast onto the ground because of the dispersion rate. What is important is that it is broadcast everywhere so as the worker/forager ants bring the bait home to the colony and queen. I will be using the next 25 lb. bag for the second treatment June1st. To do this correctly is paramount in killing these guys. I have seen a huge decrease (80-90%) in the ant population in comparison to the previous Spring of 2022. Put this chemical down when you have at least 7-10 days of no rain in the forecast....Good luck with that here in central Alabama! (:

Used as directed. Ants were on my potato chips in minutes. I spread it over 21/2 acres. (Says it will cover 3 acres ). After ten days, some beds are dead. Some are still active. A lot of work, little results!

Used on half of yard in march. Used on other half in mid April. This is end of July and happy to say I have not seen any more fire ants since then. Seems to be great product. No more wasting powder from big box store chasing them around every couple days.

I've just used it in areas that I see activity of these Asian Needle Ants. They immediately pick up the product and tote it away. They disappear within a day. I search the yard every other day and only apply product where I see activity and again they disappear by the next day.

Utilized the product to treat the entire yard & landscape beds of an in-town lot showing signs of Fire Ants. Lot size 80 ft x 80ft. have with grass the balance driveway and landscape beds covered in mulch. Had at least 12 mounds scattered throughout, all developing within t two-week period. Utilized the product and all 4.5#'s. My application was a concentration 4 times the table instructions, however I wanted to ensure results. One week later, rained once lightly, all fire ants gone. 3" x 6" diameter mounts were raked smooth throughout.

After buying($$$) and using several product purporting to kill fire ants(with little to very little success) I found Extinguish Plus and, voila, it really worked to annihilate an entire colony of fire ants. I was delighted. Each time I encountered another colony out came my Extinguish Plus. I will not use any other product

I have been trouble with recurring ant mounds after I put something on it they move somewhere in the yard. Using this product it has eliminated all the ant beds except one. Which I think is a very good deal.

I have used Extinguish Plus for several years. It is easy to apply and is dependable for results. The only caution is to follow the instructions! Be sure the ants are feeding and no rain is forecast.

I walked a pass every 40 feet across my 5.25 acres to be treated and used my battery powered spinner spreader to apply 12’ width bands. Fire ants will range to 100’ from their hill, so they all received bait exposure. A week later, I backtracked and took the top off of raised (due to heavy rains) fire ant dirt mounds and normally, they come boiling out for defense. Not a single ant! But, what I did find was several “grains” of Extinguish Plus inside their hills. Very effective! I will switch it up with a different active ingredient the next application so they can’t build resistance. Extinguish Plus is a nice product. One has to constantly tap the sides of the spreader hopper, or the product will bridge and not keep dispensing onto the spinner. Very doable, though! No dust. I wear personal protective clothing/rubber gloves/goggles. I worry about people that pay no attention to label information and go out in shorts to apply an insecticide! But, I have had a commercial pesticide license in my career and understand the dangers of NOT following labels!
