It can be used in various indoor or outdoor situations and is attractive to sugar-feeding ant species.The Nippon Ant Control System will come to your rescue with a quick and convenient way to eliminate ants and their nests without trace.

This minimalist distribution combined with the exceptional foraging capabilities of fire ants makes it “unlikely that a bird or other non-target species would succumb to the effects of the toxin. For one, the opaque bait station makes it nearly impossible to monitor how much bait remains, as well as what kind of ant activity is going on inside. Yet hours, days or even weeks later, I will look at the trap and see it has disgorged a lot of its liquid out of the entry hole onto the floor (or whatever surface it is sitting on).

We also did not consider any kill-on-contact sprays like Ortho Home Defense Max Ant Roach and Spider Insect Spray and Raid Ant Killer. Borax is found in some laundry detergents, while fipronil, avermectin, and indoxacarb are used in veterinary medicine to prevent infestation of fleas, ticks and other parasites or to rid an infected animal of these organisms. Some of the liquid had spilled onto the floor, but it was unclear how much, if any, the boy had swallowed.
