Ant killer gel that kills the nest, not just the trail
Wiping an ant trail away only moves the problem. Bait the intact trail with ant killer gel instead and workers carry the ant gel bait back to the brood and the queen, which is the only way an indoor ant nest actually dies.
- Bait the trail — workers deliver the dose to the queen
- Works on black garden ants and pharaoh ants
- No spray, so pharaoh ant colonies do not bud and spread
- Trails typically thin out within 24 to 36 hours
Ant killer gel kits
Choose the ant formula
The Targeted Spot Treatment Kit lets you pick the Ant Gel 20 ml at checkout — select 'Ant' on the product page so the right formula ships. The Whole-Home and Commercial kits treat ants and cockroaches from the same bait matrix.
Where ant gel goes
Directly on the active trail (2 to 3 dots per metre), at entry points such as thresholds, airbricks and pipe gaps, and behind kickboards where trails disappear. Use a card or foil strip in food-prep areas so surfaces stay clean.
Expect more ants first
Recruitment to a rich food source means heavier traffic for around 24 hours. That surge is bait moving into the nest and normally settles within 24 to 36 hours.
