Advion Ant Gel Bait is a ready-to-use insecticidal gel bait for ant control, containing the active ingredient indoxacarb 0.05%. It is odorless and contains attractants: it does not repel ants, it draws them in, and ant colonies cannot resist the taste of the gel.
Key Features
- Non-repellent bait with attractants that ants actively feed on.
- Secondary (transfer) kill: ants that feed on the gel do not die immediately; they return to the nest carrying indoxacarb and pass it to other colony members, including the queen, eliminating far more of the hidden colony.
- Highly attractive to all major ant species – controls the entire colony.
- Approved for use in food establishments.
- Ideal viscosity in all conditions.
- Transparent, odorless and leaves no residue.
- For indoor and outdoor use: homes, hotels, villas, hospitals, restaurants, ships and food storage areas.

Directions for Use
- Apply the gel as small spots, approximately 0.1–0.5 g per spot.
- Place spots along ant trails, near areas of ant activity and nest entrances, and in cracks, crevices, gaps and the corners of doors and rooms.
- For light infestations, a few spaced spots are enough; for heavy infestations, increase the number of spots and place them closer together along active trails.
- The active ingredient starts working immediately after feeding; ants die within 24–48 hours.
- Reapply when the gel has been consumed until ant activity stops.
Product Overview
- Advion Ant Gel contains 0.05% indoxacarb in a highly palatable formula designed to control ants inside and outside the home.
- Indoxacarb is bioactivated after ingestion by the ant, ensuring effective control of the target ants without a negative impact on the environment.
- Can be used in all seasons and across a wide temperature range, and delivers reliable control around the clock.
Precautions
- Safe around pets when the directions for use are followed.
- Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
- Once opened, use the syringe within 6 months for best results.
- Do not apply the gel directly on food or food-preparation surfaces.
- Do not spray other insecticides over the gel spots, as this reduces their attractiveness to ants.
Additional Information
- Advion Ant Gel Bait contains indoxacarb, which is converted by the ant's metabolism into its insecticidal form. It combines the proven performance of indoxacarb with a gel formula that is highly attractive to ants, delivering strong control of a broad range of species.
- Most ant species at some point prefer honeydew or sweet foods, while some also feed on proteins and oils. Because ant feeding preferences change quickly, a flexible bait matters – the Advion formula is designed for acceptance by the largest number of major ant species.
- It is a true gel: it stays in place on vertical surfaces and on the underside of horizontal surfaces, and it can be used on many surface types, including porous ones, with little absorption – so the bait stays available to ants for longer.
Orkida Tip
- Place the gel where ants are actually travelling and leave it undisturbed – the more ants feed and carry it back, the faster the whole colony is eliminated.
