🐜 KM Ant Pro® Bulk Insect Attractant + Insecticide Additive Use
2.5–5 Gallon Concentrate Mix | USDA Organic Input Certified | For Use With KM Ant Pro® Bait Dispensers
Take control of ant infestations the safe and effective way. The KM Ant Pro® Bulk Insect Attractant (Protein/Sugar IA-P/S) is a non-toxic, food-grade lure designed for use in KM Ant Pro® Liquid Bait Dispensers. On its own, this attractant is not a pesticide — it’s a powerful tool that draws ants to feed.
For true control and elimination, this attractant must be combined with an approved insecticide, such as Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (DOT, EPA Reg. #87445-1), during preparation. When used together, the solution provides long-term depopulation of ants and other protein/sugar feeding insects in nurseries, farms, orchards, pastures, and residential landscapes.
How It Works
- Step 1: KM Ant Pro® Attractant recruits ants to the bait station.
- Step 2: Add an approved insecticide (such as DOT) to the solution. Ants consume and carry it back to the colony.
- Step 3: The colony is controlled over time with minimal environmental impact.
This system is designed to redirect and suppress foraging ants in ecologically sensitive areas, reducing bites and protecting crops, livestock pastures, and outdoor spaces.
How to Prepare Your Solution
- Start with 2 gallons of warm distilled water (≥72°F, ideally ~90°F).
- Slowly stir in the KM Ant Pro® Bulk packet until dissolved.
- Add water to reach 2.5–5 total gallons of finished bait solution.
- 2.5 gallons: stronger concentration for hard-to-control species
- 5 gallons (standard): effective for most ant infestations
- Add insecticide (required for control):
- Do not exceed 1% DOT by weight (6.4 oz per 5 gallons).
- For most species, ½% DOT is recommended (3.2 oz per 5 gallons).
- Fill KM Ant Pro® Liquid Bait Dispensers with the finished solution and place strategically in affected areas.

Why Use KM Ant Pro® System?
Unlike granular or broadcast sprays, KM Ant Pro® stations:
- Attract ants to the bait rather than spreading pesticides into the environment
- Reduce chemical exposure for people, pets, and livestock
- Provide long-term colony control instead of just surface kill
Important Note
This is a bulk attractant only. To control and eliminate ants, you must add an approved insecticide during preparation (DOT recommended). The attractant alone does not kill ants — it’s the delivery system that carries the insecticide back to the colony.
Take control of your ant problems safely, effectively, and organically approved.

🚚 LIVE PLANT SHIPPING & TRANSIT EXPECTATIONS
Live plants naturally experience stress during shipping. Temporary leaf drop, mild wilting, or cosmetic stress is normal after transit. Most plants recover quickly with proper watering, gradual light exposure, and basic aftercare. Some plants may require additional attention during the first few weeks.
Despite careful packing, minor cosmetic damage may occur during transit. Small issues such as broken leaves or stems typically resolve with time and proper care.
If your shipping box arrives with significant external damage, please contact UPS within 30 days to initiate a carrier claim.
⏱️ SHIPPING METHOD, TIMING & TRANSIT WINDOWS
All online orders ship via UPS Ground from our Central Florida nursery.
📦 Shipping Schedule: Orders ship once weekly on Mondays to reduce the risk of packages sitting in transit over weekends. A countdown clock on our website displays the next shipping date.
🚚 Typical Transit Times:
-
Florida: 1–2 days
-
Southern U.S.: approximately 2 days
-
Midwest, West & Northern U.S.: 3–5 business days
Long-distance shipments, particularly to the western U.S., may experience additional transit time due to agricultural inspections in states such as Arizona, California, and Texas.
Extended transit times can be more challenging for small or tender plants and may require additional recovery care after arrival.
🌡️ EXTREME WEATHER & SEASONAL RISK
Live plants are sensitive to temperature extremes.
We cannot guarantee plant condition during periods of extreme summer heat or winter cold and freezing temperatures. Weather-related delays, carrier interruptions, or exposure during delivery are beyond our control.

Preventing plants from being left outdoors in extreme conditions
During unsafe weather, holiday shipping volume, or extended transit risk, orders may be held and shipped the following week to protect plant health.
