  "term": "Bait Treatment",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "Pesticide product intended to be ingested by the target pest that kills or controls an invertebrate pest such as ants, cockroaches, or termites. This is normally through the insect feeding on the product directly, but may also include products which the target will contact and later ingest during grooming/cleaning. The attractiveness of these products is through the use of a palatable food base, however they may also incorporate an attractant ( e.g., pheromone) which is intended to attract the target pests over a greater distance.
