Laboratory mortality bioassays and field efficacy tests show that various forms of bait are more effective when enhanced with certain hydrocarbon extracts and blends that are characteristic of those found on preferred insect prey. The behavioral dynamics of Argentine ants in relation to baits are assessed to determine the effects of active recruitment, time in contact with bait, and consumption on exposure and efficacy.
