Bait
In pest control, bait can be broadly defined as a substance loaded with pesticides, strategically used to eliminate or control pests, often insects and rodents. Possessing a lethal attractant, the bait entices pests, causing them to consume the lethal ingredients contained within. This may either be a direct kill or it may sterilize pests for population reduction. Some high-end brands in the industry include Rentokil and Terminix, known for their effective bait formulations. Importantly, successful baiting requires a deep understanding of pest behavior and lifecycle. Bait, in the pest control business, is a handy tool for professionals to ensure pest-free environments.
