This product contains indoxacarb, which is a "brand name" of Methyl 7-chloro-2,5-dihydro-2-[[(methoxycarbonyl)[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]amino]carbonyl]indeno[1,2-e][1,3,4]oxadiazine-4a(3H)-carboxylate. That is the poison in the bait, not to infer that it is a "carb"ohydrate based bait. If it contains boric acid, it is not listed as an active ingredient.
I don't know if "learn" is the right description, but LFA do stop taking Amdro after a few uses. I don't know if that is due to the poison or an issue with the baiting mechanism. I have used Siesta for years and the LFA have never shown an aversion to it. Amdro uses the same corn-grit delivery method but for some reason doesn't seem to work after the first few times.
It is possible the LFA will stop taking this cockroach bait, or it might be ineffective entirely. It will be an interesting experiment either way.
I have tried the HAL Tango recipe and other products with (S)-methoprene labeled for ants (like Amdro Firestrike and Extinguish Plus). I know others claim different results but I have found the (S)-methoprene products to be worthless on LFA. After a year without success I moved on. Apparently so did the HAL considering they didn't use it to eradicate LFA on the other islands.
