ABSTRACT:
A composition including a bait and a borate is used to mitigate a population of target insects and/or mollusca. The composition may include attractive by-products of agriculture and manufacturing with or without semiochemicals or biopesticides prepared as point source units (such as pellets or microcapsules). The by-products attract insects and/or mollusca to a food source for the purpose of mitigating the target organism. The bait is combined with borates and is pelletized and/or encapsulated into micron size particles. The pelletized and/or encapsulated particles are broadcast (spread) over areas infested with the target insect. The insects ingest the composition and regurgitate the composition to the remainder of the insect population. Significant mitigation of the population of the target insects results with little to no effect on the environment. The composition is also passed on to the next generation due to cannibalism of the target insects. A feed through process wherein the composition is fed to an animal and is contained in the manure of the animal deposited as a point source location. The composition is either mixed in with the food of the animal or placed directly in the gut of the animal using a ball and gun method. The target insects are attracted to the manure and upon ingesting the manure, ingest the composition and are dispatched.
