The queens are looking for protein. Cat food, hamburger, some form of meat.
If the bait dries on the surface they will abandon it. Pre-bait sites and
let the queens plus first generation workers get established at the feeding
site. Then set a trap. This should clean them up early. Letting them
become established first will get most of them from each nest coming to the
bait site.
