Advion Ant Gel 30gView product

FAQs

How do I apply Advion Ant gel bait?

Advion Ant gel bait is labeled for crack-and-crevice applications indoors, as well as applications to entry points outdoors. The blue cap should be removed from the syringe prior to application. If desired, the blue applicator tip included in the package may be used to apply the gel in smaller cracks and crevices. A small dot or line of gel is sufficient for these applications. Bait may also be applied in a commercially available refillable bait station.

Why isn't Advion Ant gel bait working?

Advion Ant gel bait works on many species of protein-feeding ants, oil-feeding ants and sweet-feeding ants. However, the degree of success can be influenced by time of year, which can directly influence ant-feeding preferences. Depending on what the ant colony needs (proteins, lipids or carbohydrates) at the time, the foraging ants can switch their feeding targets.

If ants aren't immediately responding to the bait, we recommend using another ant bait like Optigard® Ant gel bait or Advion Ant bait arena, which provide different types of nutrients and attractants. It is also recommended to follow these best practices:

Ensure the gel bait has not been contaminated by repellent insecticides, dirt, nicotine, gasoline or other contaminants

Place gel bait as close to active ant foraging trails as possible

Apply appropriate quantities of gel bait to control the infestation

If ants are consuming all the bait, but ant activity continues, additional bait and/or other formulations should be considered

Reduce or remove competing food sources, such as pet food

What is the shelf life of Advion Ant gel bait?

The shelf life of any product is largely dependent upon storage conditions. Ideal storage conditions are indoors with minimal temperature and humidity fluctuations. In these conditions, Advion Ant gel bait can last up to five years.

What types of ants does ADVION® Ant Gel control?

It targets Black house ants, Argentine ants, Pharaoh ants, Crazy ants, Pavement ants, and Red imported fire ants.

How long does it take to see results?

You can expect a significant reduction in ant activity within just a few days of application.

How does ADVION® Ant Gel work?

The gel contains Indoxacarb, which allows ants to carry the bait back to the nest, spreading it through the colony and killing the queen.

Is the gel safe to use indoors?

Yes, ADVION® Ant Gel is safe for indoor use when applied as directed and kept out of reach of children and pets.

Can I use it outdoors?

Yes, it can be used outdoors in protected areas where ants are present.

Do ants avoid the gel?

No, it’s a non-repellent formula, so ants readily consume and spread it throughout the colony.
