Optigard Ant Bait Gel Bait

Brand: Optigard Ant Gel Bait Manufacturer: Syngenta Active Ingredient: Thiamethoxam .01% Details: Optigard® Ant gel bait, powered by the active ingredient thiamethoxam, offers unparalleled control of a broad spectrum of ants by ingestion and transfer of the clear, odorless and palatable bait for effective colony control. Use Information: Optigard Ant Gel Bait is designed for the control of ants: excluding fire, harvester and Pharaoh ants.Attractiveness of the bait to ants is enhanced by its high moisture retention properties and the bait will remain attractive for at least two weeks following bait deployment. This bait takes advantage of ant trophallaxis (regurgitation) allowing for transfer of active ingredient throughout the colony. Ants that feed on the gel will return to their nest and trans- fer the bait to the queen and their young, thereby killing the queen, the young and the entire colony. Dead ants should begin to appear within days after ants have begun feeding on the bait. S
