    Q
    Is top choice fire ant granules safe to put in a pasture with grazing animals, horses?
    We have an over grazed 3.5 acres and horses are not able to be taken off for extenede peroids of time. Is this product safe for grazing animals.
    A

    Top Choice cannot be used in a pasture with grazing animals. Also, Top Choice Fire Ant Granules are restricted use and can only be purchased with a restricted use license. Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait would be a better choice for you. Extinguish plus can be used on pasture land and there are no grazing restrictions for companion animals. Below you will see the grazing info available on the Extinguish Plus product label. Extinguish Plus combines the power of hydramethylnon with an insect growth regulator (IGR) to kill fire ant workers and prevent queens from laying fertile eggs. The result is complete fire ant colony control. Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait is best used in the spring or early fall, or whenever fire ants are active. The ants will feed off Extinuish Plus and spread the bait throughout the entire colony, halting the infestation within weeks. Extinguish Fire Ant Bait can be used indoors and outdoors on lawns, pasture land, rangeland, landscaped areas, and golf courses.

    EXTINGUISH PLUS may be applied to grass forage
    (pastures and rangeland) for the control of fire ants
    only in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas,
    Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New
    Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
    Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Use on grass forage
    (pastures and rangeland) in states other than those
    listed is unlawful. See Outdoor Use table for
    application directions. Do not exceed 8 pounds per
    acre per year or more than 4 times a year, with a
    minimum re-treatment interval of 90 days. Do not bale
    and cut treated pastures and rangelands for 7 days
    following application. These cutting and baling hay
    restrictions for pasture and rangeland do not apply
    when the treated pasture and rangeland is used solely
    to support COMPANION ANIMALS (e.g., horses,
    llamas, etc.). Companion animals grazed on treated
    areas cannot be used for food or feed. EXTINGUISH®
    PLUS may be used on uncultivated, agricultural, nonfood
    crop and non-agricultural land.

    What is the shelf life on Top Choice?
    A
    The manufacturer does potency studies for 2 years, so they state that it has a shelf life of 2 years.  It could last longer though if kept in a dry cool place.

    Q
    Will Top Choice kill Army worms?
    My neighbor across the street has Army worms, and I am fearful that they will travel across the road. If they do, will Top Choice Fire Ant Granules kill them, or what can I do to prevent them from coming?
    A
    Top Choice Fire Ant Granules is not labeled for army worms. We recommend using Talstar P for army worm control. Talstar P is not a repellent product, so it will not stop army worms from actually coming into your yard, but it will kill the worms that make their way onto the treated areas.
