Abstract
This invention is directed to insect control using compositions having attractants, feeding stimulants and toxicants compounded into plastic bait pellets. These pellets are easily handled for distribution in the field. Insects are attracted to the bait pellets, induced to feed and subsequently die. The pellets have the unique advantage of being relatively impervious to environmental conditions and non-polluting.
