ATAK Spinosad Mravenci Biocidal ant control product
ATAK Ants Spinosad are bait stations with the natural active ingredient spinosad, designed to effectively eliminate ants and their colonies. Ants carry the bait back to the nest, feeding the queen and larvae, which leads to the destruction of the entire colony. The closed design of the stations makes them safe for use in households with children or pets.
