Yes, the ants carry the bait into the nest, where control takes place. The efficacy depends on the dose used and the size of the nest.

Control is achieved through ingestion of the bait by the ants, spread by trophallaxis. Within 48 hours, up to 80% of the population is eliminated.

The bait should be placed on the trails, away from the nest entrance, to avoid saturating it with odour. If the aim is to prevent ants from entering the field, it can be broadcast around the perimeter.

It depends on monitoring: if the nests are geo-referenced, a targeted application can be made; if not, it can be broadcast across the whole field, with an average dose of 5 kg per hectare.

Yes, because liquids produce control that is too fast, which causes ants to release funeral pheromones and hide, whereas baits act more slowly, avoiding this problem and controlling only the problematic pests.
