Abstract: A pest control bait station having separated bait reservoirs for holding different kinds of bait. The bait station has raised regions with pest access apertures. Each aperture is aligned with at least a portion of a pest conveyance structure extending from the base walls of the reservoirs, providing a space for the pest to enter and exit the bait station. The bait in each reservoir is prevented from contacting bait in any other reservoir. At least one reservoir may contain a liquid bait, and at least one reservoir may contain a dry bait.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for killing arthropods. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method preferably includes providing a pesticide composition which includes from about 0.01 to about 0.8 percent, by weight, of a surfactant and from about 0.2 to about 15 percent, by weight, of a boron-containing component. The pesticide composition is applied to a absorbent material which is infested with arthropods, so that the pesticide composition is adsorbed by the absorbent material in an amount sufficient to kill arthropods. The arthropods contact the absorbent material and are killed by the adsorbed pesticide composition.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for treating a contaminated surface. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method preferably includes a first step of providing a cleaning composition which includes from about 0.002 to about 2 percent, by weight, of a cationic surfactant which is capable of acting as a microbial biocide and from about 0.05 to about 5 percent, by weight, of a boron-containing component which is capable of acting as both a microbial biostat and an insecticide. This cleaning composition is applied to the surface so as to substantially remove contaminants from the surface while, leaving a residual amount of the cleaning composition on the surface to act as a biostat.

Abstract: Weather resistant granular baits containing an attractant system are disclosed. Methods of making and using the baits are also disclosed.
