The greatest reductions were achieved at homes that were treated with fipronil.  Especially noteworthy was the fipronil spot treatment which reduced ant activity around homes by 90% at 8 wks.  Homes treated with liquid borate bait attained a 73% reduction in ant activity at 6 wks, & 83% when combined with a perimeter spray of fipronil.  Other combination treatments with fipronil were equally effective, especially bifenthrin granules, 90% reduction at 8 wks.  At the end of the study 79% of the homeowners rated the treatments as very effective.]1 aKlotz, J H1 aRust, M K1 aGreenberg, L1 aField, H C1 aKupfer, K  uhttps://antkey.myspecies.info/en/content/evaluation-several-urban-pest-management-strategies-control-argentine-ants-hymenoptera
