Ant colonies need both sugar and protein to thrive. We created our owndual-bait formula that includes a separate protein and carbohydrate, in a gel that's easy to spread to other ants in the colony. Simply open and place where you see ants, and they will find it no matter which food they seek - protein or sugar. Sugar is fed to the other workers, while protein is fed to the larvae for a more complete ant kill. | RESCUE! Ant Baits, Kills Ants without the Mess
