ABSTRACT:
A method of treating a population of social insects includes applying topically to the insect a composition comprising a carrier and an active ingredient. The composition provides a coating that adheres to the insect and is groomable and ingestible by other insects to distribute the active ingredient within the population. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the composition includes sulfluramid as an active ingredient and an air dryable resin as a carrier. A trap for collection of insects controls temperature within the trap to promote recruitment and also drive the insects to a collection area where they may be treated.
