Publication number: 20040197366Abstract: An aqueous sucrose-containing insect bait formulation may be stabilized against short term degradation or loss of sweetness by incorporating borax in the aqueous bait formulation. Stabilization against degradation or loss of sweetness at higher temperatures can be achieved by incorporating borax and an antimicrobial agent in the aqueous bait formulation. Preferably, borax is present in an amount ranging from approximately 0.1 to 10% by weight and an antimicrobial agent is present in an amount of approximately 0.2% by weight.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2003Publication date: October 7, 2004Applicant: Whitmire Micro-Gen Research Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Terrence R.
