• Gel stays put without running, even on vertical surfaces
• HACCP certified – can be used in industrial or commercial settings, hotels, schools, restaurants, hospitals and food processing facilities

The Science 

How does OPTIGARD control the entire ant colony? 

OPTIGARD is infused with thiamethoxam: a highly palatable, non-repellent active ingredient. Worker ants that feed on OPTIGARD return to the nest and transfer thiamethoxam to the colony and queen. Total colony control can be achieved within 7 days, with workers reduced within just 48 hours. 

Tips for Use 

• OPTIGARD remains highly palatable for at least 14 days. If ants are still present after that time, this means a new or large colony is present and re-treatment may be necessary
• Have both ADVION Ant Gel and OPTIGARD Ant Bait Gel with you, and do a taste test for which species you are dealing with. By having both products at your disposal, all ant species should be controlled
• You can also use OPTIGARD with ARILON as a band spray in treated areas for broad spectrum pest control, or use DEMAND as an outdoor perimeter spray to prevent further infestations from neighbouring ant colonies
