Esteem Ant Bait is an Insect Growth Regulator similar to naturally occurring insect growth hormones which interfere with (stops) their growth or development Esteem Ant Bait breaks the reproductive life cycle of the ants, causing starvation of the colony Esteem Ant Bait is a slow acting, highly effective ant control product Worker ants pick up the bait granules and take them back to the colony Workers feed the bait to both the queen and the immature ants thereby preventing worker replacement Due to degeneration of reproductive organs the ant queen cannot replace workers The lack of worker ant replacement results in colony death as the existing worker ants age and die Within 3 to 4 weeks there is substantial colony mortality and within 8 weeks the majority of the colony population has been eliminated
