Rescue Ant Baits
What It Kills RESCUE! Ant Baits kill most common household ants, including those species commonly known as pavement ants, Argentine ants, odorous house ants, crazy ants and grease ants (or thief ants). How It Works Ants instinctively know the colony needs both sugar and protein to thrive. RESCUE! scientists have devised a dual-bait formula that includes protein and carbohydrate -- in a form that's easy to ingest and transport. While foraging ants need sugar bait to feed themselves and other workers, protein ensures the poison will be consumed by the developing larvae and the queen to wipe out the entire colony within days. When placed where ant activity is seen, the foraging ants enter the RESCUE! bait station to find food. Some ingest the sugar gel while others chew off the protein bait. Both are taken back to the nest to share with the colony. Sugar is fed to the other workers, while protein is fed to the larvae. These larvae act as the “stomach” of the colony, processing
