Kalianna... Amdro yard treatment in the shaker bag has the exact same chemical as Tango - the IGR "S-Methprene" ALONG with the normal Amdro Ant Block chemical, Hydrametylnon...
So... is your statement addressed at all of the Amdro products (they have a whole line of products), OR the Ant Block statement (which is true), OR to the product Terracore
& I were referring to, the Amdro yard treatment in the shaker bag, which has the IGR that you have called |"ant birth control"... not quite what S-Methoprene does, as it is a growth regulator that stops the larval development of many insects, including ants... and is not to be used in a fun way, when there is a chance of also effecting beneficial insects
For those that may be wondering ... almost ALL pollinator insects are susceptible to the IGR S-methoprene, so it should be used with that caveat & with some caution..
CTAHR has a nice picture study on the attractiveness & weather of some baits... many that are not even discussed by AntLab .... as they will not endorse a treatment that has not been tested AND approved for the use BY THE MANUFACTURER... LFAs are not a huge market, at this time ...
