Abstract
The efficiency and palatability of two baits were studied to the control of crawling insects in urban areas: "Cockroach Kill Gel" for control of cockr oaches and Faratox B for control of ants. Ionizing energy was used in produ cing the baits. It was concluded, that after irradiation the palatability o f Faratox B improved and palatability of Cockroach Kill Gel did not change.
