Label Amendment 

January 30. 2001 

Submission dated January 1 S, 2001 

Dear Mr. Gerlach: 

The submission referred to above has been reviewed by the Agency and the draft 

label will be acceptable provided that you address the following comments: 

1. The percent concentration of active ingredient on the label and the nominal 

concentration on the current Confidential Statement of Formula (CSF) are not 

identical. Therefore submit a new CSF with the correct nominal concentration. Also 

add a statement on the CSF ''This product is a 100% repack of the registened 

product, EPA Reg. No. XJOOO(" below the list of ingredients. 

2. Add "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY" below the product's name. 

3. Replace "FOR USE ON ANT HILLS FOR THE CONTROL OF ANTS" with "FOR 

THE CONTROL OF OUTDOOR ANT HILLS ONLY. 

4. State below ANTOX, the product contains a regulator, gas probe and ant dome. 

5. Replace the Statement of Practical Treatment as follows: 

FIRST AID 

If Inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 91 f or an 

ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mo·uth if possible. 

Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.

, 

If on Skin: May cause frostbite to unprotected skin upon contact with dispensing 

equipment. Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of 

water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment 

advice. 

If In Eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for lS-20 

minutes. Do not rinse eyes with hot or even tepid water. Call a poison control 

center or doctor for treatment advice. I 

, Add common names of ants controlled using the ANTOX system under 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE. ( 

Add ''This ANTOX system should be used only for the control of outdoor ant 

infestations" to the Use Restrictions section under DIRECTIONS FOR USE. 

Replace "non target insects" in the 3rd sentence under Use Restrictions with 

"nontarget insects." 

Add 'Wear Protective clothing to prevent ant bites" in Step 1 before "Place the 

ANT DOME over an ant mound ... while pushing downward." 

10. Don't you want to shut off the gas valve of ANTOX tank before turning off the 

regulator? 

11 . Add a statement to wear protective clothing to "Step 5." In case the treatment did 

not kill all adult ants, the operator can get bit while stomping the hill to break it. 

The change of name to ANTOX is acceptable. Further consideration will be given 

to your application upon receipt of a revised CSF and five (S) copies of revised labeling 

after incorporating the above comments. Along with the CSF and labeling, submit a 

cover letter explaining the action required and a completed application (EPA Form 

8570-1). Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at 703-005-

Based upon your application of February 1 9 , 199 7, and your 

follow-up submissions of May 14, 1998, June 3, 1998 and September 

23, 1998, EPA has registered the product identified abo ve under 

the authority of .3 Ic) IS) of the Fe deral Insecticide, Fungicide 

and Rodenticide Act IFIFRA) , as amended. Note that this letter 

requires you to make certain changes the labeling of this product .

EPA Reg. No.: 70614-1 

The Confidential Statement of Formula (CSF) dated May 14, 

1998, is basically acceptable. We understand that this product 

consists entirely of another registered product which is to be 

relabeled as your product . 

The efficacy data submitted (MRID No. 446071-01) indicate 

that control of fire ants was achieved at 9 of 10 treated mounds 

at each of two test sites and at all 10 treated mounds at each of 

the two other test sites. The overall test results indicate that 

the treatments eliminated fire ant activity at 95% of treated 

mounds and support the claim that this product controls fire 

ants. The data would not support any claims to the effect that 

the product is effectiv e 1 00% of the time. No additional 

efficacy data are required at this time for this product. 

The label submitted by courier on September 23, 1998, is 

basically acceptable. Before selling, distributing , or using 

this product, make the label changes. 

1. The registration number 70614-1 must appear on the final 

p r inted version of this label . 

2. In the third sentence of the "Use Restrictions; " 

subsection of the "DIRECTIONS FOR USE", change "non 

target" to "nontarget". 

3. Insert the text indicated below as the second paragraph of 

"Storage and handling instructions; ". 

Transport cylinders using hand truck or foot truck 

to which cylinder can be firmly secured . Do not 

remove protective bonnet and safety cap until 

immediately before use. Replace safety cap and 

valve protective bonnet when cylinder is not in 

use. When cylinder is empty, close valve, screw 

safety cap onto valve outlet and replace protective 

bonnet before returning to shipper. Do not use 

cylinders for any other purpose . Follow 

registrant ' s instructions for re t urn of empty or 

partially empty cylinders. 
13

page 3 

EPA Reg. No.: 70614 - 1 

4. Delete the second sentence from the double-asterisked "**" 

paragraph which appears at the bottom of the right side 

column. This label does not provide adequate directions 

for treating fire ant mounds which are larger than 

"average size". We suspect that a dome larger than 12" in 

radius might be needed in addition to more CO2 . You might 

want to propose to modify the existing directions either 

to accommodate different specified sizes of domes and/or 

different specified durations of CO2 application and 

e x posure or to provide separate sets of 5-step 

"Directions " for different sizes of domes. Such changes 

in use directions would have to be proposed as a 

registration amendment. 

The last two sentences of the "General ANT DOME System 

Setup; " subsection of the "DIRECTIONS FOR USE" do not seem to add 

much to the overall use directions . The thoughts expressed by 

these sentences seem to be covered by the first two steps of 

"Directions for using the 12" radius hemisphere". As the two 

sentences appear on the accepted label, they must remain on your 

label for now. In the future, you might wish to propose to 

delete them and possibly modify "STEP 1 " and "STEP 2" of 

"Directions for using the 12 " radius hemisphere " accordingly. 

As required by §6{a) (2) of FIFRA, you must submit to EPA any 

" factual information regarding unreasonable adverse effects" of 

this product on the environment, including but not limited to 

adverse effects humans and other nontarget organisms . 

Submit two copies of the final printed labeling for our 

records. Make sure that type sizes conform with the requirements 

indicated in the "A- 79 ENCLOSURE" and the "Label Type Point 

Chart" (enc losed) . 

If these conditions are not complied with, the registration 

will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA. Your 

release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of 

these conditions.

In preparing the a letter in response to data submission receibed 6/30/98, 

I ootcied that there was a slight problem with the CSF (Mlich oould maybe 

be resolved verbally) and that no proposed revised labels had been submitted in response to our l etter of 12/3/97. Mr. Gerlach indicated that 

the pcoouct is indeed a 100% repack of another company's 002 gas prcrluct 

and that he had not supplied revised profX'Sed labels. He said that h e 

\«)Uld send in new prOfX'Sed labels by "torrmorrow aftern<XXl", meaning

Sunmary of Canmunication: 

As a follow-up to his letter of 12/ 12/ 97, Gerlach asked whether it would 

be possible to use G.H.G.'s mound-treating apparatus and the 002 fire-ant 

prcrluct 67066-1 registered to C & C Envirorunental Inc. of Tequesta, FL. 

I indicat ed that. while I had rx> inherent objections to the idea, the 

use directions on the current label for 67066-1 were tailored to another 

type of equipment. Therefore, I felt that the label for 67066-1 would 

have to be modified to allow (or at least be appropriate for) G.H.Go's 

equipment .

c. .vtl 

I would like to thank you for the time and consideration you have shown 

me, while we have been working together. During this time, an alternative 

avenue has come to my attention. The fact that an EPA registration that is 

similar to the one G.H. G. Company is attempting to attain is current with the 

EPA. My question to you is; Can we use EPA registration number , 

tlu'ough a license agreement, if there is a variation in application use due to 

functional equipment differences as evidenced by the differences in our 

EPA labels. I would like to know what registration requirements woullliJe 

necessary, specifically efficacy reports conceming registration Number 

to suit our needs described by EPA file symbol 70614-R. Thank 

you again for all you have done .

File Symbol: 16601 

Case Number: 61423 

OP Barcode : 0248519 

Pest : Control of Fire Ants 

Formulation: 99.95% Carbon Dioxide; 0.05% Inert Ingredients 

Product Name: GHG CARBON DIOXIDE 

Purpose: Review efficacy report titled "The magnitude of Carbon 

Dioxide as a fumigant for the control of Fire Ants", MRID 

No , 446071-01. 

Branch Supervisor: Tina Levine 

Branch Reviewer: Bill Jacobs 

Efficacy Reviewer: George Tompkins 

Discussion : 

Four locations in Florida were used as test sites for these 

studies. Three of the test sites had a sand soil and one site had 

a muck type of soil with considerably more moisture than the other 

three sites. Each test area consisted of ten fire ant test hills 

and five control hi lIs. The control hills for each area were 

isolated on one side of the study area and not scattered randomly 

throughout the test location. A pretreatment analysis was performed 

twenty-four hours before the testing was begun at each site. The 

final thirty day results check also involved a complete excavation, 

at a minimum of twelve inches, of the entire mound with a small 

shovel. 

Conclusions: 

The i nformation provided indicated that in two of the test 

sites 90% control was achieved and at the other two test sites the 

treatment was 100% effective. The overall test results indicated 

that the treatments were 95% effective in eliminating the fire ant 

colonies tested in these studies. The control hills for all four 

test sites demonstrated normal activity and response to the 

stimUlation applied to determine mound activity . 
29

Recommendations: 

It is recommended that this study be found acceptable to 

demonstrate that this method of application of carbon dioxide is 

effective in eliminating the fire ants in the fire ant mounds 

treated according to the labeling directions.

Case Number: 61423 

OP Barcode: 0239836 

Pest: Control of Fire ants 

Formulation: 99.95% Carbon Dioxide; 0.05% Inert Ingredients 

Product Name: GHG CARBON DIOXIDE 

Purpose: Review efficacy report to determine if it is complete or 

if additional efficacy data are necessary. 

Branch Supervisor: Tina Levine 

Branch Reviewer: Bill Jacobs 

Efficacy Reviewer: George Tompkins 

Discussion: 

The data sheets provided with this report appear to be brief 

examinations of the three areas that contained mounds of treated 

fire ants. The use of the adjectives "moderate II humidity, "high" 

moisture content, and "sand" soil type need to be further refined. 

Exact readings of the moisture content should be provided as in 

different areas of the country the word moderate humidity can vary 

considerably depending on the average humidity for that particular 

region. Soil types should be classified according to the standard 

USDA soil classification which provides the sand, silt and clay 

content by percentage; moisture content , pH, density and the CEe of 

the soil. An accurate reading of the soil moisture content (by %) 

is important in view of the instructions stating that wet ground 

conditions may affect the efficacy of this product. In addition no 

mention was made of any control areas or of pretreatment conditions 

in the three treated areas. In order for efficacy data to be 

generated, controlled s tudies with pre-treatment observations and 

controls a re essential so that statistically valid determinations 

can be derived. In these data sheets no numbers were provided so 

that statistical analyses.could not b e performed. 

In the "Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, Subdi vision G, 

Product Performance II the information for product performance to 

control the imported fire ant states that there should be 

selections from several states within the range of the pest. 

Printed on R6cycJed Paper 
31

Usually three such sites are necessary to provide adequate 

information from data derived. For mound application there is 

usually a minimum of 10 mounds per plot and usually 3 to 4 plots 

are treated with the candidate compound and 1 plot is used as a 

control. Suggested performance standards require that a minimum of 

90\ control on counts made for a minimum of 30 days for mound 

applications. Percent control is based on the percent reduction in 

both old and new active mounds in the treatment area as compared to 

precounts and untreated controls. 

In this case the method of activity reduction per mound needs 

to be determined. Mound activity may be assessed 1-2 days before 

treatments and at day 0, 1-2 days after treatment, and 1, 2, 3, and 

4 weeks after treatment. Mound activity could be determined by 

stomping hard (4-5 times) on the sailor turf ca. 1 ft from the 

mound in a circle around each mound. For the final rating at the 4-

wk interval, each colony could be excavated to a depth of ca. 8 

inches with a small shovel to determine the mound activity. If no 

live fire ants were found, the colony could be considered dead. 

Alternatively, a metal wire can be inserted into the mounds and 

vibrated to determine ant activity by using a Lichert scale of 0-3, 

with 0= inactive, 1= minor activity, 2= moderate activity, and 3= 

full activity. The number of ants responding to the disturbance in 

a certain time, i.e. 30 seconds, could be rated as above. Following 

the last assay interval a spade could be used to dig up the mounds 

and observe the relative numbers of foragers, brood, and queens 

surviving . The percent control should be based on the percent 

reduction in both old and new active mounds in the treatment areas 

as compared to precounts and untreated controls. Additionally, 

there should be some means of determining if new mounds formed 

close by are from a new source or from disturbed ants from treated 

mounds vacating the treated mound and moving elsewhere in the area 

and forming a new mound away from the disturbed "old!! mound. 

conclusions: 

The information provided in the data sheets (3) is inadequate 

to make any determination of the efficacy of this treatment 

methodology and no statistical evidence was provided demonstrating 

its potential. The information was only observations made at three 

locations but was not in sufficient scientific detail to make any 

statistical analysis of the efficacy of the treatment procedure. 

Recommendations: 

It is reoommended that adequate studies demonstrating the 

potential of this carbon dioxide treatment procedure in reducing 

imported fire ant colonies in different regions of their occurrence 

be performed accordingly. This will provide statistical evidence to 

determine the efficacy of this proposed procedure.

OP Barcode: 023983 5 

Pest: Control of Ants 

Formulation: 99.9 5% Carbon Dioxide; 0.05% Inert Ingredients 

Product Name : GHG CARBON DIOXIDE 

Purpose: Determine if the "Directions for Use" are adequate and 

support the use claims of the product. 

Branch Supervisor: Tina Levine 

Branch Reviewer: Bill Jacobs 

Efficacy Reviewer: George Tompkins 

Discussion : 

The instructions state that an "ANT DOME" is placed over an 

ant mound and the edges buried in the soil by turning the dome 

rapidly back and forth while pushing downward. A gas probe is 

placed through a hole in the top of the "ANT DOME" and down into 

the center of the ant hill. The va l ve on the top of the carbon 

dioxide tank is then opened and the handle on the regulator is 

slowly turned in a c lockwise direction until the output gas gauge 

reads approximately 20 psi. The gas is allowed to continue to run 

into the ant hill for approximately four to six minutes depending 

on its size. After this time interval has elapsed, turn the gas off 

by turning the handle on the regulator in a counter clockwise 

direction until the output gas gauge reads zero psi . The n shut off 

the gas valve on the top of the carbon dioxide tank . The "ANT DOME" 

should be left in place for an additional five to seven minutes, 

a lthough the gas probe may be removed immediately after shutting 

off the carbon dioxide. Afterwards the "ANT OOl·1E" should be removed 

from the hill and then "stomp the hill thoroughly in order to 

co llapse the ants' network of tunnels and seal the carbon dioxide 

gas in the ground". It was stressed that this system is most 

effective when the ants are active in the mound. It was not 

Printed on R9CjdBd Paps, 
33

recommended that this system be used after a heavy r a in . It was 

stressed that this system would be effective in all soil types 

where ants are able to create mounds. If visible signs of living 

ants are a pparent seventy two hours after treatment, the procedure 

may be repeated as necessary. 

The label stated that the carbon dioxide tanks should be 

stored in a cool, well ventilated area under l ock and key and that 

the tanks be secured to rack or wall. The area should be posted as 

a pesticide storage area. 

Conclusions 

The label is clear and the instructions are adequate for 

pesticide handlers t o understand. The necessary warnings regarding 

misuse and accidents are provide d. In the instructions for use it 

indicates that it is for anthills for the control of ants. However, 

in the s tudy (443923 -01 ) it appears that from the title of the 

study that this is designed more specifically for the control of 

fire ants. 

Recommendations: 

It is recommended tha t the instructions be changed to 

specifically state as a fumigant for the use on "fire ants" rather 

than for ants, if that is the main use pattern. It is recommended 

that the label be found acceptable for specific instructions, 

necessary warnings on misuse, and for storage.
