Bait Technology are the exclusive manufacturers of Xstinguish^TM bait.

Xstinguish is a very effective ant bait in the form of a pale green paste which will control and even eradicate colonies of Argentine ants and some other species of ants. Eradication depends on the whole colony being treated at once.

Xstinguish was originally developed by Peter Davis and his scientific research team from the Department of Agriculture in Western Australia. Landcare Research in Nelson under the guidance of Dr Richard Harris brought the recipe to New Zealand and with the help of Flybusters Antiants started doing field trials. After 4 years of trial work Xstinguish was finally registered for use in NZ and is now available for general use.

Xstinguish is now manufactured in Auckland by Bait Technology Ltd under licence to Landcare Research. A non toxic version is also available to monitor potential sites.

Flybusters Insect Control (NZ) Ltd is the sole distributor of Xstinguish products.
