| Abstract: | *[All of the treatments significantly reduced ant activity over the course of the 8-wk study. 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.] |
