Abstract
Hydrodynamic baits for the control of orthopterous insects are disclosed which contain an attractant, a humectant and a gel former. The baits are designed to function in harsh and/or dynamic microclimates such as for example commercial kitchens or outdoor environments subject to typical circadian influences such as temperature and moisture. A further advantage of the disclosed baits is their lack of attractiveness to mammals.
