What advantage do solid baits provide in pest control?

Solid baits offer a significant advantage in pest control because they can effectively target specific pests without the need for widespread application across an area. This focused application means that solid baits can deliver the necessary active ingredients directly to the intended pest population, minimizing environmental impact and reducing the risk of affecting non-target species.

By using solid baits, pest control operators can strategically place the bait where they know pests are likely to encounter it, which increases the likelihood of effectiveness while providing better management of pest populations. This method is more efficient and economical, as it concentrates on the problem rather than applying treatments indiscriminately throughout a space.
