Syngenta 53204 Advion 4 x 30g Ant Gel, White

I am a handyman, and one of my customers told me about this product. Unlike most liquid ant baits, the ants go crazy for this stuff! Run a thin bead near an ant trail and soon it will be surrounded by hundreds of ants, all willing to take it back to poison the queen. My cats aren't attracted to it, but if you are worried take a plastic take-out container with a lid and drill holes in the sides so that the ants can get in at ground level. Downside? It hardens after four or five hours so you need to apply it two or three times a day. However, it works so well it is worth the effort!

This gel was recommended to me by someone in the pest control industry. It works like a charm. It can be messy squirting out of the tube, and make sure to save your tip before throwing your empties away because you don’t get extras in your packs. But it works and although I didn’t see dead ants, I saw swarms of ants attracted to the gel, and then I saw much fewer ants in general, so it defintely works. Great value for the money.

Here in Texas there is a huge problem with fire ants and this product IS THE ONLY ONE that literally kills the mount regardless if they are scattered in the backyard or inside your back porch pots. I put a little amount right next to their pathway AND PROBLEM SOLVED. I’ve tried everything and I said everything and nothing works but this product. I love it and I will keep on buying it as long as it is available. It takes just a couple of hours and they all run to eat it, then the next day my back porch pots are FREE of ants.

This stuff really works! Much thanks!

Not sure how this happened, but I would recommend the seller does frequent quality checks of these gel poisons. Mine arrived completely liquified and thus making it useless for application. I am returning the item for a refund. Disappointed because I stand behind this brand as it has worked very well ridding of pests in the past. Unfortunately, have to give this experience 1 star for poor quality control. UPDATE 8/27 The gel has been sitting in my air conditioned home for about a week after delivery and I noticed it settled a bit; approximately 1/3 - 1/4 an inch remains liquid per vial, but I decided to shake the vial and use it anyway. To say the least, the ants ate it up and it’s helping me keep my ant problem under control. I am adjusting my rating from 1 to 4 stars. A few points I need to make just in case someone else is curious. -you may very well receive liquidated gel in the summer months. We’ve been in a horrible heat dome, and temperatures are easily over 100 degrees where I am. If this gel is being stored in a hot facility or hot vehicle during transport this is a very real issue that may happen if you order during the hotter months. I’ve been told by pest control techs that this gel WILL separate in heat, but the amount of separation may vary. Obviously if your entire vial is liquid, return it. I’d still recommend seller does quality checks to try and avoid this. -I’d wait about a week if you received liquidated gel and shake it up to see if that helps (keep in a cool dry place in the meantime). Mine works just fine and after the initial liquid at the top the rest was gel. In hindsight I’d rather wait for cooler temps if I were to order again.

Works well. Easy to apply. Kills ant quickly. Good price.

This was recommended to me by a guy I bought earth worms from for keeping ants out of vermicompost bins. Where I live, we have ants that are black and non‐aggressive, Pyramid ants to be exact, and I dont mind them because they apparently will attack and keep fire ants at bay. They havent bothered my cat's food when I set it outside, they dont immediatley find human food like fire ants do, and they dont take every chance to bite you like fire ants do (even if you kick their mound). However, they do sometimes push my buttons and violate boundaries, and as long as its not too warm, this gel makes quick work of the troublemakers. I have used it to get ants off my fig tree when they were getting to every fruit before I could, to get them out of my cat's treat puzzle (they never at catfood left outside but got inside to eat treats out of the puzzle feeder, go figure), and to swiftly deal with a random kitchen infestation. In the case of the kitchen, I noticed an ant on the counter one day and then a few hours later there were many more, crawling around my dishwasher and counters. I put a couple old bottle caps on the ground and dabbed the gel in it. Ants found it pretty quickly and invited the rest of their gang to partake. The next morning there were still some very sluggish ants crowding around the gel in the caps, but they disappeared by that afternoon. So glad I had this stuff on hand. As others have said though, this stuff does get melty when its above 80 or so which would make it hard to use in the summer in more humid areas. Fortunately I live in an arid climate, so for the areas outside where I wanted to use it in the summer, I set out bottle caps that I will fill in the evening so the ants could have a midnight gel feast without it all turning to soup. It wasnt as effective outdoors in the heat of summer as it was in the kitchen this fall, and I had to refill the caps for days and even then the colonies were only reduced but not gone. As such, I recommend timing this for fall or spring use if you plan to use it outdoors. I also recommend researching what species of ant you are targetting, to make sure that by clearing them out you wont be making room for a more aggressive species to move in.

Oh my gosh! What a great product. I was checking out the forums the professionals are on, and they recommend this time and again. I was using insect spray in the next day the ants were just marching over it like nothing was there. I had a swarming column of tiny ants going from under my new shed along the side my garage, along the front of the garage, around to the other side. I am talking almost 50 feet long of columns of ants going back-and-forth. Crazy right? I applied 2 tubes during the course of two days, and there aren’t any more ants. I basically wiped out two large nests. During this heatwave we are having, the gel does dry out and the ants aren’t attracted to it anymore.. Speaking of which, soon as you spread a little line of this out, the ants are attracted to it like crazy. I don’t know what’s in this stuff for them to be attracted like that, but it does the job. Homeowner approved!
