Imported Fire Ant; Approved Treatments

We are amending the imported fire ant regulations by adding the insecticide methoprene (Extinguish[reg]) to the list of chemicals that are authorized for the treatment of regulated articles. This product is registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use against the imported fire ant and has been found efficacious based on testing by the Gulfport Plant Methods Center. This rule makes methoprene available for the treatment of containerized plants and field-grown woody ornamentals in the quarantined areas.
