True or False: Most bait formulations have 50 percent or more active ingredients.

Bait formulations typically contain a lower concentration of active ingredients compared to other pesticide formulations such as concentrates or emulsifiable concentrates. This is because baits are designed to attract pests, and a higher percentage of active ingredients can deter them due to the potentially toxic nature of the formulation. Instead, baits often consist of a blend of palatable substances appealing to the target pests, complemented by lower concentrations of pesticides to ensure ingestion without immediate aversion.

The nature of bait formulations aims to encourage prolonged feeding by pests, allowing for the active ingredient to take effect over time after consumption. Therefore, it is common for many bait formulations to have considerably less than 50 percent active ingredient, making the assertion that "Most bait formulations have 50 percent or more active ingredients" incorrect.
