Overview

ECOGEL ANTS is an insecticide gel that is easy to apply and highly effective against tropical ants (Monomorium pharaonis, Linepithema humile and Lasius niger).  It can be used indoors and outdoors. ECOGEL ANTS is safe to be used around children and pets as it has a bitter compound added to discourage accidental ingestion. Made in Spain.  HK Pesticide Registration No: 1P158 (GE).  Pesticide Retail Licence No: F032675.

ECOGEL ANTS is an insecticide formulated as gel bait against tropical ants (Monomorium pharaonis, Linepithema humile and Lasius niger) to be used indoors and outdoors in private and commercial building. ECOGEL ANTS causes a delayed death effect, acting after several hours. The worker ants have enough time to transport the gel to the colony, to distribute it among other workers (Trophallaxys) and feed it to the queen ants and larvae, thus spreading it throughout the whole colony. If the queens are eliminated, the colony stops to be viable and becomes extinct.

 

ECOGEL ANTS contains Bitrex, which makes it unappetising to children or pets.
