ABSTRACT:
An effective delayed-action insecticide for use against the imported fire ant (IFA), as well as against infestations of other insects. The insecticide consists of an oil insoluble surfactant, preferably an anionic fluorochemical surfactant, as the active ingredient. The insecticide further consists of a carrier, which is a source of food for the IFA or other insect. This carrier is impregnated with the anionic fluorosurfactant to provide a toxic bait. In a preferred embodiment, the insecticide contains 0.3 to 0.5% by weight anionic fluorosurfactant; and a member selected from the group comprising dried yellow corn meal, corn grit, crushed wheat, and cracked wheat in a concentration of 94.7 to 94.5% by weight, as the carrier. Soybean oil, in a concentration of 5.0% by weight, is preferably applied as an attractant. A method for formulating the insecticide by dissolving the anionic fluorosurfactant in a solvent, such as acetone or methanol, and mixing the resulting solution with the carrier, is also disclosed. Formulations consist of the active ingredient (anionic fluorosurfactant) dissolved in the solvent and then absorbed onto the carrier, soybean oil then preferably being added as an attractant.
