How ASCEND Works: ASCEND is formulated in an oil bait that functions as an attractant to Fire and Pharaoh ants. ASCEND is a stomach insecticide which acts to reduce ant workers. The bait is also passed by the workers throughout the ant colony and eventually to the queen.
ASCEND is toxic to ants: however, it is most effective against the ant queen and causes an immediate halt of egg production and the disappearance of the worker brood. The disappearance of worker ants leads to the decline and eventual elimination of the ant colony.
For best results do not apply is rainfall is anticipated within 4 to 6 hours after application.
Inside Treatment: Follow ants back to voids. Apply bait to crevices or voids where ants are active. Use up to 5 tablespoons per treatment site in a heavily traveled area. Use less in areas with less activity or if the treatment site will not hold much. Use a large Centrobulb puffer duster to place bait in crevices or voids. Enlarging the void's opening may be required.
