Niban Granular Bait is very safe to use around children and pets. The 95% other ingredients are just food products, which is the part of the bait that attracts the insects to where you apply the bait for them to eat. The 5% boric acid is the only part of the bait that kills the insect. It is only strong enough to kill a small insect. When you broadcast Niban as directed, there is not enough of it in one place to attract a pet and should cause no problems. Many pest control companies use Niban Bait as part of their natural pest control program because it is such a safe and easy to use product.

We would recommend using a bait to control Camel Crickets. NIBAN Granular Insect Bait is a moisture-resistant bait that can be used indoors and outdoors to control ants, silverfish, roaches, crickets and more. Niban's weatherized granules don't degrade from heat or sunlight and will last through four inches of rain. Niban is the one bait that will continue to work because Niban has no known resistance and is virtually odorless. Niban kills the microoganisms in the insect's stomach and blocks enzyme production causing starvation. And since it affects none of the insect's major systems, they can't develop resistance. NIBAN comes in a convenient 4 lb. shaker container with a comfort grip handle for easy application. NIBAN Granular Insect Bait should be applied near camel cricket activity or in a 2-4 foot band around your home.

If you are finding a lot of roach activity outdoors around your home, then an excellent product is Niban Granular Bait. This is a bait that is ready to apply from the container, and it has food attractants that are great for roaches, but an active ingredient that is all natural. Niban should be applied dry, but it can hold up to about 4 inches of rainfall after it has been applied. You may also want to take a few moments to review our Roach Prevention Guide for tips on how to keep these pests out of your home.

Q

Will Niban Granular Bait kill crickets in a warehouse industrial setting?
We are in a cricket mating season in Abilene, TX. Our building is old and without a lot of proper sealing from the bottom. I need to control the crickets in my warehouse; they are getting into my parts boxes and all over my warehouse. The expected time for them is expected to last a month. I realize that I will be unable to control them completely with the conditions that I am in, but I need something to bring their population down to a manageable level.
