Can Ant Gel Kill Ants?
Ant gel is similar to roach gel in that it’s placed out where people can see it. However, it should not be placed on surfaces near food preparation utensils. Instead, it should be placed in areas where you see ants, such as behind the refrigerator or along the baseboards. You can also apply it directly to the ant nest itself or on windows or doorsill cracks.
A single application of this gel can eliminate 99% of cockroaches in just one month. This gel is safe for use in residential and commercial environments. The gel can be applied to surfaces, cracks, crevices, and food storage containers. The ingredients in cockroach gel include fipronil, hydramethylnon, and imidacloprid. These chemicals are particularly effective against German cockroaches.
Professional pest control professionals prefer cockroach gel because of its high performance. In addition, it allows for flexible placement, resulting in complete control of the population. A gel also makes placement more convenient, as small cockroaches tend to stay close to their hiding places. Place many small dots of the gel in likely areas. This is better than placing large blobs of gel in fewer places.
Using aerosol insecticides may have undesirable effects. Because it contaminates sensitive areas of the house, it’s not advisable to use aerosol insecticides in these areas, including kitchen countertops and meal preparation areas. To avoid this, consider using a combat bait station. This method is effective when several stations are placed in areas where the ants are located. For maximum results, place the stations near a wall or in a corner.
