Esteem Ant Bait
How To Use Rate
1.5–2 lb/A. Valent recommends the 1.5-lb rate for most situations. Use higher rate when abundant and well-established ant nests are present—infestation pressure dependent. • Apply Esteem Ant Bait when ants are actively foraging—typically early spring or summer when the soil temperature is above 60° F • In bearing almond orchards, apply at 6 to 8 weeks prior to harvest to protect fallen nuts
