ABSTRACT:
Below ground kits, methods, apparatus and configurations for controlling arthropods such as termites, ants, and roaches. An embodiment has alternating layers of a first layer consisting of a mixture of a non-edible foraging matrix mixed with a slow-acting and non-repellant toxicant, where the first layer is adjacent to another layer of non-toxic edible/attractant materials allow for the treatment of different arthropods. The non-edible foraging matrix can be selected from at least one of: soil, gravel, rocks, pebbles, shale, and mixtures thereof. The nontoxic layer can include materials such as foam and cellulose. Different arthropods such as termites, fire ants, carpenter ants, and roaches can be treated with the subject embodiments.
