Combat Indoor and Outdoor Ant Killing Gel, 27 Gram

Product Information

Do not disturb the natural behavior of trailing ants or foraging ants, placements should be made NEAR the ants, but not on them or in the middle of the trail. By disrupting their normal behavior, bait avoidance may occur. Technical Information: Thiamethoxam belongs to a class of insecticides known as neonicotinoids which are synthetic derivatives of nicotine. It impacts insects by interfering with certain receptors in their central nervous system, causing eventual paralysis. Research and experience confirm that the gel bait’s carbohydrate-based formulation is particularly attractive to ants.

Technical Information: Imidacloprid has been used in pest control products since 1994, and belongs to a class of insecticides known as neonicotinoids which are synthetic derivatives of nicotine. It impacts insects by disabling their central nervous system. Advion Ant Bait Gel takes advantage of the natural behavior of ants. Foraging worker ants are attracted to the sweet formula of the bait. After consuming the bait, the foraging ants will return to the nest and share the bait with the rest of the colony, including the queen(s). By ingesting the active ingredient Indoxacarb the ant’s nervous system is disrupted, ultimately ending in death. Do not use bait in the same areas as residual repellent sprays or where there may be residue from harsh cleaning products. This product is intended for indoor use wherever crawling insects have been seen. Ideal locations include in bathrooms, behind kitchen appliances and behind sofas, tables, wardrobes etc. Professor Pest recommends Quantum for interior concentrations of Ghost Ants and advanced populations of Argentine Ants, and is best utilized as small liquid droplet placements on inaccessible horizontal surfaces away from direct sunlight. Provided plastic bait stations may also be used, but may have a tendency to minimize bait acceptance.

Professor Pest recommends Maxforce FC when the specific ant species is known to be one of the specific species identified on the label, other than Big-Headed Ants. For Big Headed Ants, Professor Pest recommends a granular bait product such as Maxforce Complete.

Fortunately, proper use of ant gel baits can simplify the ant control process.

Indoxacarb is an oxadiazine pesticide originally manufactured and patented by DuPont. Since Indoxacarb is the only chemical in its class, it offers laboratory-tested benefits that other pesticides simply cannot duplicate. For starters, Indoxacarb remains active even after digestion so it can be passed along to other insects through bait sharing. It is the first pest control bait that scientists have found to remain active after it has been transferred twice after the first lethal dose. Passing poison like this from one insect to another is known as horizontal transfer. Target Pests Extreme heat or cold, direct sunlight and water may reduce the residual effectiveness. Apply Gel outdoors into bait stations such as Ant Café Refillable Bait Stations to protect bait from dust, rain, and sunlight. Advion Ant Bait Gel Features Ants make for small but unwelcome houseguests, trailing into kitchens and bathrooms in search of food and moisture during spring and summer. There are hundreds of species, and most are completely harmless, if a little smelly. “In all of the country, the most common house-invading ant is the odorous house ant,” says Dr. Jody Gangloff-Kaufmann of Cornell University’s New York State Integrated Pest Management Program. “And it is odorous — they’re pungent if you crush them.”

Formidor is a high efficacy ant bait gel for complete ant colony control. Foraging ants will consume the ant bait, return to the nest and share the Formidor ant poison with the rest of the colony. This is the natural feeding process in ants and is called trophallaxis. We had odorous ants everywhere, and we tried every brand of ant killer at the hardware store. We were very frustrated. The baits were placed as instructed. Three days later, no more ants!

Do not apply Advion Ant Bait Gel to surfaces where the temperature exceeds 120-130 degrees F because this could cause the bait to liquefy and lose effectiveness. Outdoors

What Makes Quantum Different: Quantum is closer to a liquid than many of the other top ant gel bait products, and comes in a squeezable tube (as opposed to a syringe with plunger) accompanied by refillable plastic ant bait stations. While Advion, Optigard, and Maxforce FC are each best applied in thin strips, Quantum is best applied as small droplets. PestFix Pest Control Supplies is a distributor of both professional and amateur use pest control products - including PPE. Advion Ant Bait Gel is included in our Indoor Ant Kit which contains everythingyou need for a complete indoor ant treatment.Foraging ants will feed on the bait, whom then return to the nest transferring the bait to the queen, which results in destroying the whole colony. Visible signs should be seen within a few days of application. A positive example of the long term effects of the Avix Bird Dispersal Laser. Nearly 4 years active and still as effective as day one. Advion ant bait gel is translucent, has no odor, and is a non-staining formulation that stays fresh for extended periods. This allows ants to eat more Advion ant bait gel over an extended period of time, resulting in control and elimination of entire colonies. Ant bait gels can provide excellent ant control, and in some instances, total ant colony elimination. The same can be said of ant bait granules. Whether to use gel bait or granular bait depends upon the particular ant species being treated for, location of the infestation, and other environmental factors. Some ant species such as Big Headed Ants, Carpenter Ants, and Red Imported Fire Ants may often respond better to granular bait, whereas species such as White Footed Ants, Ghost Ants, and Pharaoh Ants are much more likely to be controlled using ant gel baits. Before beginning any ant baiting program, be sure to properly identify the ant species and determine which formulation will be most likely to be effective. Advion Ant Bait Gel kills by transfer. The transfer effect can take minutes to hours. it can take up to 21 days to start to see a huge difference in population.
