TANGO is only available in 2.5 gal VERY EXPENSIVE container on island... Amdro does sell a bait, FIRESTRIKE, that has the Amdro fire ant bait formula (Hydramethylnon) ALONG with the same ingredient in TANGO (s-Methoprene).
We have been using FIRESTRIKE this last year, we are using less & getting longer coverage...but have no hope for total eradication... we have used it mainly as a trail bait, have yet to wrap it into our fruit trees with a foil wrap....as this is the time they are reappearing, will try it in the tree wraps
One thing that should be clear, all LFA formulas can be attractive to animals, since all use food oil. And all have ingredients that are not good for pets...
