SIEGE® PRO | Ant & Cockroach Baits

SIEGE® PRO | Ant & Cockroach Baits have Hydramethylnon which is an insecticide commonly used in ant and cockroach baits. The 0.73% concentration refers to the amount of hydramethylnon present in the formulation. Hydramethylnon is generally effective in controlling ant and cockroach infestations. It is especially useful in situations where the goal is to eliminate entire colonies.

Mode of Action:

Hydramethylnon is a slow-acting insecticide. It disrupts the metabolism of insects by inhibiting certain enzymes. This results in a delayed effect, allowing the contaminated insects to carry the bait back to their nests, where it can affect other colony members.

Bait Formulations:

Hydramethylnon is commonly formulated into bait stations or gel baits. The bait stations are strategically placed in areas where ants or cockroaches are active. Insects are attracted to the bait, feed on it, and then transport the insecticide back to their colonies.

Residual Activity:

While hydramethylnon is not a contact insecticide, its residual activity can contribute to the control of ant and cockroach colonies over time. The delayed action allows the insecticide to spread within the colony.

Indoor Use:

Hydramethylnon baits are suitable for indoor use in homes, businesses, and other structures where ant or cockroach infestations are present.
