Niban Fine Granular Bait is considered a pet safe product, as long as you follow the product label. This product should be applied only in cracks and crevices and in inaccessible areas where kids or pets cannot access it (ie; behind appliances, in wall voids, etc.). You of course would not want to keep the bottle of Niban open where a pet could consume a large quantity. Keep in mind that these products are only strong enough to kill small insects when applied properly and it is only recommended to use this product in small quantities. It does not take much to do the job.

Q

What is the difference between Niban Granular Bait and Niban FG?

A

The 'FG' in Niban FG stands for 'fine granular.' This means that the granules in the Niban FG will be finer (smailler) than those in the Niban Granular Bait. The finer granules make it easier to apply Niban FG in small cracks and crevices.

Q

Will Niban harm small geckos?
We live in Hawaii, and we have a lot of geckos in and outside of our home. I want to kill the roaches that the geckos don't get, however, I don't want to harm them in anyway. We also have wild chickens and roosters. Will Niban take care of the palmettos?

A

Geckos are not attracted to the Niban granules and they are highly unlikely to dead insects that have succumbed to the bait. Niban granules should have no effect on geckos, chickens or roosters. American cockroaches, sometimes called palmetto bugs are listed on the Niban granule product label and t…

Q

I have 4 cats and 1 dog. My Mother is on oxygen 24/7, will the Niban granules injure them in anyway?
My Mother is on oxygen 24/7, I have 4 cats, and 1 dog. Will it harm my pets if they ingest the granules? Also, will the granules kill the female & the egg sack she is carrying? I have an infestation of German Cockroaches, severe, and have Orkin coming out to put the gel out, but, they seem to keep coming out. I have been cleaning a lot of "stuff" out of my house that would give them a place to hide a breed. Also, are the granules good for killing fire ants? I have them in my front yard and nothing seems to work on them, except gasoline, which I refuse to use. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you in advance.

The Niban Granules are very safe and should cause no issues with your pets, as long as you apply them correctly. The niban granules are no stronger than anything Orkin has placed out in your home. Of course you would not want to leave the Niban Granules out in the open where your pets co…

Of course you would not want to leave the Niban Granules out in the open where your pets could get into the container. You should apply the Niban Granules underneath and behind appliances, in wall voids, and other places that your pets cannot gain access to. It will not kill the egg sack, only the roaches that eat the granules. Niban is not labeled for fire ants. For fire ants we would recommend our most popular product which is Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait.

Yes, Niban FG Fine Granular Bait - 1 lb. if a finer granule than the Maxforce Complete.

We recommend that you offer both a gel bait such as Advion ant bait gel as well as a granule bait such as the Advance 375A. Offering both baits will ensure that the ants will have their nutritional needs met and at least one of the baits will be accepted by the ants. Most of the bait manufacturers recommend that you also do outdoor treatments with a product labeled for Pharaoh ants such as Termidor SC. Pharaoh ants can have huge colonies outdoors and as you know smaller satellite colonies indoors. Eliminating the outdoor colony will stop new ants from moving in. Termidor SC is a great choice because it is a non-repellent insecticide that also has a transfer effect. That means that ants cannot tell that the Termidor SC is there and will walk right over it and then pick the product up on their bodies and inadvertently carry it back to the colony, then through normal social interaction the ants spread the Termidor SC, and wipe out the colony. Termidor SC only needs to be applied two times per year and is effective for a wide variety of insects including ants
