Poison baits are substances designed to attract and kill pests, such as rodents or insects. These baits contain toxic ingredients that are appealing to the target species, encouraging them to consume the bait. Once ingested, the poison disrupts vital bodily functions, leading to the pest's death. These baits are commonly used in pest control strategies to manage infestations in homes, gardens, and agricultural settings. It is essential to use poison baits responsibly, as they can pose risks to non-target animals, including pets and wildlife, if not applied correctly.
