| abstract |
An insect lure or bait container for attracting insects for treatment with a pesticide has an opening therein for the subterranean ingress and egress of insects and, preferably, contains a cellulose fiber lure of a coherent deformable compressible mass of randomly oriented, entangled, softwood fibers that is held together by entanglement of the fibers. Preferably, for treating termite colonies, the pesticide is a non-repellent termiticide, which is lethal to termites through matrix contact as well as through ingestion and/or transferal. |
