The Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has proposed the full registration of Scotts Canada's Spinosad Technical Insecticide and Ortho Home Defense Max Ant Bait Stations, containing the technical grade active ingredient spinosad, to be used in a bait station to control ants and ant colonies.
Spinosad is a fermentation product of the
bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa that must be eaten by the pest to be effective. It acts on insect nerves, causing paralysis and death. Products containing spinosad are also registered for use on greenhouse food and ornamental crops, outdoor food and ornamental crops, and turf against a wide variety of insect pests.
