Gel-Bait Tube ACTO Ants: the radical elimination of the anthill

The invasion of ants in a kitchen or on a terrace can quickly get out of control if the source of the problem is not treated: the queen and the nest. The Ant ACTO Gel-Bait Tube is a high-precision insecticidal solution designed to eradicate colonies in a systematic way. Unlike traditional sprays that only remove visible workers, this gel harnesses the social behavior of insects to carry the poison to the very heart of the anthill, ensuring complete sanitation of your environment.

A mode of action by self-poisoning of the colony

The strength of ACTO gel lies in its delayed effect. Formulated with sodium cacodylate, the bait is very palatable to all species of ants. Once consumed, the product only works for 24 hours after ingestion. This crucial delay allows worker ants to return to the nest and share the poisoned food with their fellow ants, the larvae and the queen. This phenomenon of trophallaxis leads to a cascade of contamination and the self-destruction of the entire colony in just a few days.

A versatile application: indoor and terrace

This ready-to-use gel (RB) has been specifically developed to adapt to all home configurations. Indoors, it can be placed discreetly behind sinks, along baseboards or near appliances. Outdoors, it is ideal for securing terraces by treating cracks in paving or patio door sills. Its gel texture allows it to remain stable and attractive without smudging, providing a clean, targeted solution where powders might scatter at the slightest draft.

Usage tips for effective trapping

To maximize results, place a few drops of gel on the ants' path, identified by their displacement columns. The 30 g tube allows for precise and economical application. It is recommended to use the product as soon as the first individuals appear, regardless of the season. Be careful not to use other insecticides (sprays or powders) near freezing points, as this will scare the ants away before they can consume the bait and carry it to the nest.

Safety and precautions for use

Ant ACTO Gel contains a bittering agent (Bitrex) to prevent accidental ingestion by children or pets. Although designed for domestic application, it is a TP18 biocidal product that must be handled with care. It should be kept out of the reach of children and kept away from foodstuffs. To protect the environment, the empty tube or product remains must not be disposed of with household waste but deposited in a waste disposal centre, in accordance with the regulations in force.

A sustainable solution against all species

From small black garden ants to more invasive species inside buildings, the ACTO bait has proven effective across a broad spectrum. The tube packaging offers optimal product preservation, allowing you to intervene quickly in the event of a new seasonal infestation. By choosing the FOUR 14 format, you are opting for a reasoned pest control method that favours transfer efficiency rather than massive spraying, thus preserving the air quality in your home.
