What formulation consists of active ingredients mixed with food and is known for containing a low percentage of active ingredients?

Baits are specifically designed formulations that consist of active ingredients mixed with an attractant, typically food. This combination serves to lure pests, such as insects or rodents, to consume the bait, resulting in pest control through ingestion. The effectiveness of baits relies on the ingredient's appeal to the target pests, which is often enhanced by incorporating flavors or substances that attract them.

One key feature of baits is that they usually contain a low percentage of active ingredients compared to other formulations, making them less potent in terms of immediate toxicity. This is balanced by the strategy of encouraging pests to consume the bait over time.

In contrast, other formulations such as dusts and granules are often designed for direct application to areas where pests are present and typically contain a higher concentration of active ingredients. Flowables are liquid formulations that also have a higher active ingredient ratio, making them suitable for different pest control strategies but not centered around the attractive consumption method employed by baits.
