Ficam Insect Bait
Product Overview
GrFicam Insect Bait is a ready-to-use granular insecticide that kills many crawling insects and pests, such as ants, cockroaches, and slugs. Insects ingest the bait, and colonies are eliminated within a few weeks. This product is weather—and moisture-resistant, making it effective indoors and outdoors for long-lasting insect control.
Ficam Insect Bait, manufactured by Solutions Pest and Lawn, is a granular insecticide bait with 5.0% orthoboric acid that controls many outdoor and indoor crawling insects like snails or slugs.
This product can be applied with a spreader or bulb duster or dispersed from the jug in areas that need treatment. When used, this bait product is resistant to weather and works when pests like carpenter ants or slugs are ingested. When snails and other labeled pests ingest the bait, they are killed off within 4 weeks.
Ficam Insect Bait can be an effective prevention method to prevent pests like silverfish, various ant species, cockroaches, and other labeled pests from getting into a home or building structure. It will also protect trees and plants from snails and slugs.
Tools Needed
This product is ready to use and can be shaken from the container. To determine the amount of product you will use, you may need a measuring cup or weighing scale.
To cover large outdoor areas, it would be best to use a handheld granule spreader. A bulb duster is needed for crack and crevice treatments.
How to Use
- Step 1: Inspect the property inside and out to know which crawling pest you have and what areas need to be treated. For broadcast rates, you will need to determine your treatment area's square footage. Find the square footage, by measuring the length and width of the treatment area in feet and multiplying them together (length x width = square feet). For most applications, Ficam Insect Bait can be broadcasted at a varying rate of 2 to 4 pounds per 1,000 square feet (3.2 to 6 oz. per 100 sq. ft.) depending on the pest you are treating and the area you are applying the product in. So, if you measured a treatment area of 150 sq. ft., you would need to use between 4.8 to 9 oz. of Ficam. To treat ant mounds, apply 0.5 to 1 oz. per ant hill.
- Step 2: Measure out the amount of product you will apply. Do not use measuring cups meant for food. When ready to apply, hold the product 4 to 5 inches above the ground and shake the granules out. For perimeter treatments, use the product in a 2—to 4-foot band around the outside of the structure.
- Step 3: To treat ant hills, sprinkle the Ficam granules directly on the anthill and the surrounding area for full coverage.
Where to Use
Ficam Insect Bait can be used indoors and outdoors. For indoor use, it can be applied in attics, behind and underneath appliances, within wall voids, under elevators, and behind wall sockets. It can also be used in insect bait stations.
For outdoor use, the insect bait can be applied around the perimeter of homes or building structures, trees, woodpiles, and other locations where insects may nest. It can also be used in larger areas such as sports fields and recreational areas.
When to Use
When used indoors in areas with low disturbance, Ficam insect bait will last for up to 2 years. For outdoor use, It can be used as a preventative method and applied in early spring before planting season and before damage to plants has occurred. It can also be applied as an intervention to control insects when noticed. Ficam Insect Bait can be applied for outdoor insect control every 4 to 6 weeks.
