A composition is disclosed from controlling an insect population including an insect food stuff and an insecticidally effective amount of at least one Gram negative bacteria, viable, dead or alive, and/or an extract thereof, where the composition is applied to an area accessible to the insects and results in insect death. The compositions are ideally suited for the control of fire ants, cockroaches, carpenter ants and termites. For fire ant and cockroach control, the food stuff is a carbohydrate rich material, while for carpenter ant and termite control, the food stuff is a cellulosic rich material. The composition is applied to the area as a single treatment or as a periodic treatment in an amount have from about 5횞109 to about 1횞1013 bacteria or extracts from that number of bacteria.

We claim: 1. A composition for controlling or eliminating insect populations comprising an insect food and an insecticidal effective amount of a Rhodobacter capsulatus bacteria, where the insect food comprises at least 60% carbohydrate and where the insecticidal effective amount is sufficient to reduce or kill an insect population when the composition is ingested by insects in the insect population or taken to a nest for subsequent ingestion by insects in the insect population resulting in insect death after ingestion and where the insects are selected from the group consisting of cockroaches and fire ants. 2. The composition of claim 1, wherein the insecticidal effective amount comprises from about 5횞109 to about 1횞1013 bacteria per gram of the composition. 3. The composition of claim 1, wherein the bacteria are viable, non-viable, or mixtures thereof. 4. A insecticidal composition for controlling or eliminating insect populations comprising a treating amount of a bait including an insect food and an insecticidal effective amount of a Rhodobacter capsulatus bacteria, where the fire ant food comprises at least 60% carbohydrate and where the treating amount of the bait is sufficient to treat an insect population and where the insecticidal effective amount of the Rhodobacter capsulatus bacteria is sufficient to reduce or kill an insect population, when the bait is ingested by insects in the insect population or taken to a nest for subsequent ingestion by insects in the insect populations resulting in insect death after ingestion and where the insects are selected from the group consisting of cockroaches and fire ants. 5. The composition of claim 4, wherein the bacteria are viable, non-viable, or mixtures thereof. 6. The composition of claim 4, wherein the treating amount is about 5 grams of the composition per insect population to be treated. 7. The composition of claim 4, wherein the insecticidal effective amount is from about 5횞109 to about 1횞103 bacteria per gram of the composition. 8. The composition of claim 4, wherein the treating amount is about 5 grams of the composition per insect population to be treated and the insecticidal effective amount is from about 5횞109 to about 1횞1013 bacteria per gram of the composition. 9. A composition for controlling or eliminating fire ant populations comprising a fire ant food and an insecticidal effective amount of a Rhodobacter capsulatus bacteria, where the fire ant food comprises at least 60% carbohydrate and where the insecticidal effective amount is sufficient to reduce or kill a fire ant population when the composition is ingested by fire ants in the fire ant population or taken to a nest for subsequent ingestion by the fire ants in the fire ant population resulting in fire ant death after ingestion. 10. The composition of claim 9, wherein the insecticidal effective amount comprises from about 5횞1013 to about 1횞1013 bacteria per gram of the composition. 11. The composition of claim 9, wherein the bacteria are viable, non-viable, or mixtures thereof. 12. The composition of claim 9, wherein the composition comprises dry particles or granules. 13. The composition of claim 9, wherein the composition comprises a fine powder. 14. The composition of claim 9, wherein the carbohydrate comprises a cereal bran. 15. The composition of claim 9, wherein the carbohydrate comprises oat bran. 16. The composition of claim 9, wherein the fire ant food further comprises dried milk. 17. The composition of claim 9, wherein the fire ant food further comprises a residue of a thioglycollate bacterial broth.
