    Q
    Is Niban Granular Bait safe to use around small cats and dogs, will they be attracted to it?
    A
    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.

    Q
    Is Niban Granular bait effective on fire ant hills?
    A
    No, Niban Granular Bait is not labeled for use on fire ants.  For fire ants we would recommend a fire ant granule specific to fire ants.  Our most popular product is Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait.

  • Asked by James from San Jose, Ca
    06/01/2012
    Q
    I've used Niban around the foundation where I've actually seen ant trails and they seem to not be interested.
    Is there a better way of applying this material?
    A
    Ants change their nutritional needs frequently. This means that one day they may only forage for proteins, like the Niban granules you put out and another day they may forage for carbohydrates like bait gels or liquids. We recommend leaving the granules in place and allow the ants to continue their natural foraging and in time they will eat the bait. It is important not to disturb the ant trails or nests while putting out the bait or the ants could ignore the bait. Do not sprinkle the bait onto mounds or into the middle of trails. Simply put the bait near where you see activity.

    Q
    Is Niban Granular bait safe to use?
    As a person who is chemically sensitive, I am considering using Niban Granular Bait (recommended by a pest control company). I know that boric acid is completely safe if used as recommended, but since it is only 5% of the product, I really need to know that the other 95% is safe.
    A

    Your question and concerns are valid.  Niban Granular Bait is our most popular bait though because it is so safe.  The 95% other ingredients are just food products, which is the part of the bait that attracts the insects.  The 5% boric acid is the only part of the bait that kills the insect.  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.
