摘要： A composition, manufacturing methods, and method of use for controlling wood-destroying pests are disclosed. The composition includes an active ingredient that is a chitin synthesis inhibitor such as noviflumuron, a binder, a filler that includes cellulosic food material palatable to termites, and a solvent. The composition is a viscous, adhesive bait. A method for manufacturing the adhesive bait includes mixing water and binder in heated vessel, dry blending active ingredient and filler, mixing the blended ingredients in the vessel at high temperature, and reducing temperature while mixing. The method for use includes identifying an active above-ground termite infestation, applying adhesive bait to the infestation site, and covering the bait. Applying the adhesive bait may include extruding the bait from an applicator tool such as a caulk gun. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
