What is an odor-related characteristic of pastes and gels?

• A. They smell pleasant and attract pests.
• B. They are odorless and have no vapors.
• C. They require ventilation due to vapors.
• D. They produce a strong chemical odor.

Answer: (B)

Pastes and gels are formulated to be odorless and non-volatile. That means they don’t release noticeable smells or vapors as they work, which helps them stay hidden in cracks, crevices, or bait stations and reduces exposure risk to occupants and pets. The pest attraction comes from the bait’s flavor/attractant—not from any odor. So the best description is that they are odorless and have no vapors.
