Termite bait products must be all of the following except:

Termite bait products are designed to be slow-acting because this allows for the effective transfer of the bait throughout the termite colony. When the bait is slow-acting, foraging termites can consume it and return it to the colony, where it is shared with other termites. This transfer method is crucial for eradicating the entire colony rather than just targeting individual termites.

Bait products must also be non-repellent so that termites do not avoid the bait, ensuring that they will consume it without being deterred by any harmful effects at first. Additionally, readily consumable bait ensures that termites will find and ingest it quickly, aiding in the overall effectiveness of relocation and colony eradication.

Fast-acting baits do not align with the principles of how termite control should ideally operate. A fast-acting product could kill the individual termites quickly, potentially preventing them from returning to the colony and thus reducing the likelihood of transferring the bait to others. The goal is to eliminate the colony, not just individual members, so fast-acting properties are not a requirement for effective termite bait products.
