Disclosed herein are material composition formulated for mitigating activity of a virus on a surface of an article. Methods of preparing such a material composition are also disclosed.

Disclosed herein are bait formulations for attracting and controlling pest insects such as ants. The bait compositions include a specific ratio of lipids and protein sources that are effective in both discovery and recruitment and are superior to current commercial ant bait formulations as they are effective throughout the different seasons and against diverse species of ants. The ant bait compositions may be combined with an insecticide to reduce or eliminate ant populations. Methods for making and using the compositions are also disclosed.
