Niban Granular Bait

Niban Granular Bait, manufactured by Nisus Corporation, is a granular insecticide made with boric acid that controls many crawling insects without breaking down from sunlight, heat, or rain.

It is formulated with the active ingredient orthoboric acid 5.0%, derived from boron, an essential micronutrient found throughout nature. As a result, this powerful bait has a low environmental impact but controls a wide range of pests, like silverfish.

Niban Insect Bait is a tough, weatherized granule that will continue to work despite various environmental elements. Its versatility is further seen in its ability not to mold when wet, unlike other baits on the market.

Tools Needed

A handheld spreader is recommended for using Niban Granular Bait on large outdoor areas. A bulb duster is used for treating cracks and crevices. The product container's convenient handles allow for direct pouring from the container.

How to Use

• Step 1: Inspect the property and inside the home or building to know which crawling pest is being controlled and what areas need to be treated. For campgrounds, cemeteries, greens of golf courses, home lawns, lawns, ornamental turf, parks, picnic areas, playing fields, and recreational turf, use 2 lbs. of Niban per 1000 sq. ft. or 90 lbs. of product per acre. To control and kill snails and slugs in flower gardens and around ornamentals, ground cover, and shrubs, use 6 oz. of product per 100 sq. ft. For perimeter treatments, apply 6 oz. of product per 100 sq. ft. Refer to the product label for more specific rates and restrictions.
• Step 2: Fill your spreader or duster with the proper amount of Niban Granular Bait. Follow the loading instructions according to your tool of choice.
• Step 3: Open the Niban Granular Bait jug and hold it about 4 to 5 inches above the ground. Shake the granules out in 2 to 4 foot bands around the perimeter of the area being treated. Dust a small amount of product into cracks and crevices.
