ant trap
Baited bug killer
An ant trap is a device designed to kill ants, typically containing poison mixed with bait that worker ants carry back to their colony.
The trap exploits ant behavior—foragers share food with nestmates, spreading the toxin throughout the nest: We put ant traps under the sink where we saw them coming in.
