1. A method of preparing a granule bait composition consisting essentially of thiamethoxam wherein the thiamethoxam is present in an amount up to about 5 percent relative to the weight of the granule bait composition; one or more lures wherein the one or more lures are present in an amount up to about 0.5 percent relative to the weight of the granule bait composition and wherein the one or more lures are selected from the group consisting of muscalure, hexalure, medlure, vanillin, terpineol, farnesol, geraniol, phenylethanol, and cis-9-tricosene; one or more foods wherein the one or more foods are present in an amount up to about 25 percent relative to the weight of the granule bait composition and wherein the one or more foods are selected from the group consisting of materials are present in an amount up to about 90 percent relative to the weight of the granule bait composition and wherein the one or more filling materials are selected from the group consisting of saccharose, fructofuranose and glucopyranose,
and optionally at least one constituent selected from the group consisting of a bitter constituent, a dye, a structure-stabilizer, and a tenside; wherein the size of the granules making up the granule bait composition is between about 1 mm and about 5 mm; and wherein said granule bait composition is hydrophobic, the method of preparing said granule bait composition comprising: a) mixing said thiamethoxam, said one or more lures, said one or more foods, said one or more filling materials and optionally said dye, said structure stabilizer or said tenside to form a mixture; b) optionally spraying a solution of a bitter constituent over said mixture c) granulating said mixture d) spraying water over said mixture during the granulating step; e) standardizing the granulate; f) drying the granulate; and g) dry-sieving the granulate. |
