LIQUID ANT KILLER - Biology & Baiting 

(12136) 

Liquid Ant Killer Bait is designed to work compatibly with the biology and social behavior of Ants to achieve effective control. The Ant population in the colony includes Ants in four developmental stages - eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Through trophallaxis, or the sharing of food, the entire colony consumes the bait, for effective control.  Workers locate food and water and return it to the colony, and feed the baits to the larvae. The larvae digest the the baits and  produce a liquid.  The other members of the colony take this liquid and feed each other and the queen. When larvae consume bait as food, their liquid output contains the active ingredient.        Liquid Ant Killer Bait is designed to work compatibly with the biology and social behavior of Ants to achieve effective control. The Ant population in the colony includes Ants in four developmental stages - eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Through trophallaxis, or the sharing of food, the entire colony consumes the bait, for effective control.  Workers locate food and water and return it to the colony, and feed solids to the larvae. The larvae digest the solids, producing a liquid. The other members of the colony take this liquid and feed each other and the queen. When larvae consume bait as food, their liquid output contains the active ingredient.        With a conventional crack and crevice application of a contact insecticide, only a small percentage of the colony is normally exposed. Additionally, using conventional insecticides to kill foraging workers can result in colony budding.  One or more queens may move with workers to a new site to establish a new colony or colonies. This expands the infestation and makes future control efforts more difficult. Baits are a far more effective method of control. When they are used, the Ants do the work for you, transporting the bait directly to the nest.         Finally, with Liquid Ant Killer Bait, you can achieve maximum control with less insecticide, because you use only a fraction of the active ingredient that is usually required with insecticide dusts or sprays.         Remove the top of the cone with scissoors or a knife, so that the top of the remaining cone is level with the top of the surrouning circular surface.         INDOORS: Place stations 1.5 Meters(5 Ft) - 5 Meters(10 Ft) apart where Ants are numerous    OUTDOORS: Place stations near where Ants enter the buildings, and near Ant-hills in lawns and gardens.    The active ingredient in  LIQUID ANT KILLER Bait  is Borax.    LIQUID ANT KILLER is available in Packs/6    There is no known resistance to Borax
