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 the protein for the queen to eat so she can continue to lay eggs.
The RESCUE! bait not only kills the workers – it also wipes out the queen and the next generation of ants.
