I'm curious if it's the same as Avaunt - indoxacarb.
Thanks
It is.
They make a fire ant bait with indoxacarb, however the Hawaii Ant Lab rated it low for having mixed results.
ETA: Also, I don't know the difference between Avaunt and Provaunt. Maybe just different manufacturers? They are both labeled at 30% indoxacarb. Maybe its the format. Provaunt is a dry powder that must be mixed/diluted with water etc before use. I don't know if Avaunt is a liquid or solid.
Also need to add, indoxacarb is only labeled for ornamentals, not for use on food crops. The gel bait recipe is here: http://www2.hawaii.gov//hdoa/labels/sln/1402_2019.pdf
