It mimics the 'smell' of danger. [Hector doesn't have a word for pheremones, though between his observations and the reading he did in Dracula's library, he has an idea of the concept of them. The enchantment isn't a smell itself, but the intent conveyed through it. To a bug's mind, it would read as the same thing.] There wasn't much to nail them into out in the desert, but when I staked them into a circle near a termite hill, they avoided it, even when I baited the center.
