  • Product Overview

    Siesta Insecticide Fire Ant Bait from BASF uses the high-performing active ingredient metaflumizone to deliver quick knockdown and lasting protection against fire ants. Working predominantly through ant ingestion, fire ants aggressively begin feeding within 15 minutes to 12 hours of application, with impacted insects typically dying in 72 hours or less.
  • Benefits & Use

    Siesta Insecticide Fire Ant Bait functions as a sodium blocker insecticide that acts on the insect’s nervous system, disrupting the voltage-dependent sodium neuron channel. Upon ingestion of the bait product, these neurons become deactivated, causing the ant to enter a state of paralysis.
