Niban is a superior granular bait, formulated with a concern for the environment. It is specially formulated with a borate compound that kills insects—and only insects. Borates are a naturally occurring mineral that is mined in California. Niban works by taking advantage of specific traits in the biologic makeup of ants, cockroaches and other insects. Rather than using toxicity to kill, Niban’s borate formula, when ingested, makes the pest unable to extract nutrition from the food it eats by disrupting the metabolic process. Even though the insect continues to eat and digest, it cannot gain nutrition from the food, and it starves.
Borates contain the element boron which is found on the periodic table. Boron is a naturally occurring element that is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. We consume boron everyday in vegetables and salads. Boron is also a common element in soaps, cosmetics and ceramics. Because insects cannot excrete liquids, boron builds up in their system and locks onto the molecules that break down sugar. With those essential molecules blocked, the insect can digest sugars but cannot convert them to energy, and the result is starvation of the colony. Humans, as well as other mammals, birds, fish and amphibians, can excrete liquids, therefore boron does not build up in our systems. We simply use the boron we need and excrete the rest in our urine.
Interestingly, this mode of action does not affect the insect’s central nervous system, so insects cannot develop resistance to Niban. This makes Niban the perfect choice for those tough-to-control areas.
