Pro Tips
Pro Tips & Quick Tricks
Remember when using gel baits such as Optigard Ant Bait Gel, that ants can only get to the edge of the bait placement. Thin lines of bait work better than big circles. If the bait dries out, put new bait in its place or add some water to it and mix it with a tooth pick.

Product Information

Optigard Ant Bait Gel - Box of 4 (1.06 oz./30 gram)

Optigard Ant Gel Bait provides a longer window of palatability so, as it ages, ants will continue to feed on the bait without any loss of attraction. Optigard Ant Bait Gel offers unparalleled control of a broad spectrum of ants, including Argentine, carpenter, ghost , and other nuisance ant species, by ingestion and transfer of the bait, providing efficacy against the entire colony, not just the workers. Optigard can be used for both clean-out and maintenance. It is also labeled for use in food-handling establishments and within food serving areas when applied according to label specifications. Optigard is transparent at application and stays clear throughout treatment. It has little to no odor and doesn't stain treated surfaces. It can be used on porous and non-porous surfaces without staining.

Optigard Ant Bait Gel - Independent Field Tests

Independent field tests conducted in 2006 against Argentine ants determined Optigard Ant Gel Bait killed 97% of workers and 100% of queens in just three days. By comparison, competitive products registered zero queen mortality. Tests conducted with carpenter ants in Florida showed Optigard Ant Gel Bait achieved 95% mortality of workers in two days, 100% in three days. Efficacy of Maxforce reached only 11% after three days.

Application

Bait Placement:The Optigard Ant Bait Gel comes with a syringe applicator. Simply place this ant bait gel in areas where the ants are active. Typical areas include cracks and crevices, under and behind appliances, under sinks, under and behind stoves, around pipes, and water heaters. Other areas include window frames and basebords. Continue to place bait in areas where the ants are actively foraging or trailing.

Do not place Optigard on freshly applied insecticide, unless it is a non repellent inseciticide such as Alpine, Dominion 2L Taurus or Phantom.

Indoors: After inspection of ant activity, place Optigard in those areas. Look for activity at points of entry and high moisture areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Place multiple bait placements in areas of high activity. Do not place bait in areas that are routinely washed, as washing will remove or dilute bait. Do not treat food preparation surfaces. During followup visits inspect placements and reapply as needed.

Outdoors:After inspection of ant activity, place Optigard near ant trails and areas of suspected ant activity. Look for activity near entry points and areas of moisture, such as soffits, eaves, pipes, weep holes and eaves. You may use bait stations with Optigard.
