What is Niban Granular Bait and Niban-FG
They are granulated baits containing five percent boric acid as the active ingredient and a combination of both protein and carbohydrate attractants.
What insects will Niban Granular Bait and Niban-FG control?
They are labeled for the control of cockroaches, crickets, silverfish, and ants, including carpenter ants.
Does either bait have an odor?
There is no detectible pesticide odor. The only odor is that of the food based attractant.
Will Niban irritate skin?
No.
What is the difference between Niban Granular Bait and Niban-FG?
Both products consist of the same formulation but have one significant difference. Niban Granular Bait contains only coarse particles; excellent for outdoor broadcast and perimeter applications. Niban-FG is made up of very small particles which allows it to be used in any type of dusting equipment. Niban-FG is excellent for indoor crack and crevice treatments.
How can I apply Niban Granular Bait?
With a mechanical spreader, power duster, plunger type duster or by hand.
What type of equipment is needed to apply Niban-FG?
Any type of dust applicator will work. For crack and crevice treatments, a bellows duster works best. For broadcast applications in attics and crawl spaces, the use of a power duster cuts application time considerably.
Can I use Niban-FG outdoors?
Yes. Small ants and silverfish often invade homes from the exterior. They build up in considerable numbers in flower beds, refuse areas, and under chips adjacent to a structure. It is frequently more effective to treat the source of the problem rather than trying to eliminate them after they have entered. Apply in a two-foot band around the perimeter of the home.
How long will Niban remain effective outdoors?
Based on studies, Niban Granular Bait remained effective until it was exposed to between one and a half and two inches of rainfall.

Effective product
By Christine on May 28, 2006Just wanted to say that I am ordering NIBAN granular bait for the second time. It is an effective product and does last through several rainstorms. Last year, we were infected with ants and we suspected an infected bag of mulch may have been the carrier. Diazinon granules were not working and so I called a professional exterminator. I noticed that he used Niban along with a liquid product that this website carries. Of course, when he left, I Googled 'Niban' and up popped this website and the product. It's been very good for us here in Yonkers. I am now ordering a "sample" for my neighbor. I also fling some Niban into my pachysandra because I noticed lots of carpenter ants. So far, the pachysandra has not died and we've had rain. Good product! Read the label and use garden gloves.

Control of Camelback Crickets
By Alan on October 25, 2010 Verified Purchase
The bait was intended for camelback crickets in the crawl space under my house. I did not scatter the product all over, but I just used a small amount of it in a tray. I see tracks in the tray and I did see a few live crickets there. They are gone now, and the bait must have eliminated them. I don't see the dead crickets because they jump great distances and have gone to distant locations to die.

Haven't seen a camel cricket since!
By Anne on December 19, 2010 Verified Purchase
Product was shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. I used it immediately in the basement to control a camel cricket problem (we were starting to see 1 per day in the basement). I haven't seen a camel cricket since! I also put some under the stove and refrigerator for good measure since it works on cockroaches too - they're not a problem for us but figured I wouldn't want to have to find out about them if they are!

Same product I paid a professional to apply.
By Valerie on October 18, 2010 Verified Purchase
I had a professioanl exterminator treat for carpenter ants. This is the exact product he used, he showed it to me and had me smell it. The problem was he didn't use enough or place it in the right spot. I purchased this product at a fraction of the cost, applied it where needed and....no more ants! This website is a great resource and it is saved in my favorites.

Niban Bait
By Anna on January 29, 2013I was trying to wait awhile before writing a review, but it seems that in the last week I have seen no crickets in my home. We were almost infested with them. I was killing 7 or more crickets a day. I believe they had a nest in the ceiling of our home. I'm not sure when they will come back, but I will purchase more Niban as needed.

This Stuff Works
By Ann on December 29, 2012I was so frustrated with the increasing Silverfish infestation in my house and basement (the Dekko Silverfish packs were worthless) until I used the Niban fine granular bait. It is easy to use, has no odor, and it has eliminated the Silverfish completely (as well as a lot of spiders and centipedes).

works like a charm
By Peter on July 15, 2012We had a ton of spider crickets in our basement and making their way throughout the house. For those that have seen a spider cricket you know how nasty they are! This product works magic, just sprinkle it around the perimeter of your house and you will see the crickets disappear. Repeat it every 3-4 weeks and you should not see those ugly critters any more. One key thing...if you stop using the product there is a good likely hood they come back so better to make this a monthly task for a long time.

GREAT PRODUCT!!
By Yamine on June 13, 2012My sister and I searched long and hard to find something to get our severe case of camel crickets. We bought the fogger but got intimidated by the warning so we researched and came across Niban which has worked wonderfully. We have not seen a camel cricket since and its been 3 weeks now. They die slowly and now we are comfortable walking in our basement. The only thing is cleaning up the bait because when the crickets it for some reason they spread it every where other than that great product highly recommended!

Cave Crickets
By Al on November 28, 2011I used the Niban to try to control Cave crickets. I really don't know what affect it had because of an earlier infestation. After applying it they continued to appear. I probably was too late to have it work effectively. I will apply it next year before they appear. Hopefully with some other stuff I'll get rid of these UGLY crickets once and forever.

QIs Niban Fine Granular Bait safe for dogs?
ANiban Granular Bait is considered a pet safe product, as long as you follow the product label. This product should be applied only in cracks and crevices and in inaccessible areas where kids or pets cannot access it (ie; behind appliances, in wall voids, etc.). You of course would not want to keep the bottle of Niban open where a pet could consume a large quantity. Keep in mind that these products are only strong enough to kill small insects when applied properly and it is only recommended to use this product in small quantities. It does not take much to do the job.

QI have 4 cats and 1 dog. My Mother is on oxygen 24/7, will the Niban granules injure them in anyway?
My Mother is on oxygen 24/7, I have 4 cats, and 1 dog. Will it harm my pets if they ingest the granules? Also, will the granules kill the female & the egg sack she is carrying? I have an infestation of German Cockroaches, severe, and have Orkin coming out to put the gel out, but, they seem to keep coming out. I have been cleaning a lot of "stuff" out of my house that would give them a place to hide a breed. Also, are the granules good for killing fire ants? I have them in my front yard and nothing seems to work on them, except gasoline, which I refuse to use. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you in advance.
AThe Niban Granules are very safe and should cause no issues with your pets, as long as you apply them correctly. The niban granules are no stronger than anything Orkin has placed out in your home. Of course you would not want to leave the Niban Granules out in the open where your pets could get into the container. You should apply the Niban Granules underneath and behind appliances, in wall voids, and other places that your pets cannot gain access to. It will not kill the egg sack, only the roaches that eat the granules. Niban is not labeled for fire ants. For fire ants we would recommend our most popular product which is Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait.

QWill Niban harm small geckos?
We live in Hawaii, and we have a lot of geckos in and outside of our home. I want to kill the roaches that the geckos don't get, however, I don't want to harm them in anyway. We also have wild chickens and roosters. Will Niban take care of the palmettos?
AGeckos are not attracted to the Niban granules and they are highly unlikely to dead insects that have succumbed to the bait. Niban granules should have no effect on geckos, chickens or roosters. American cockroaches, sometimes called palmetto bugs are listed on the Niban granule product label and the Niban granules seem to do a great job eliminating them.

QCan Niban be put in trays in attic and when would they need to be replaced?
Large attic with silverfish problem in some areas. Grandchildren occasionally like to go get things from the attic so I want to use removable trays instead of spreading around. How long will it last?
ANiban can be put in removable bait trays such as a bait plate station in the attic area. You should plan on replacing the bait every couple of months to ensure it is still fresh.
