They don't all works the same way. Most baits are stomach poisons & ingested when they eat it, Some dusts are the same & are ingested when they groom, some act on their nervous systems, some weaken & dry out exoskeletons (dessicants), some also clog up breathing tubes & some simply absorbed through their bodies.
