Review: Expensive but works - This is a really good product. It's the second time I bought this and the first lot lasted me two years. This time the ants found their way in through a tv cable. Luckily I saw them, ordered this and used it the next day. Ants were gone after a couple of days. It's easy to use and I think, such good value for money even though it's fairly expensive. You don't have to use much and it works from a syringe so there's no leaks. Apparently the ants take it back to the nest and it does its work there.
Review: Amazing - Amazing. Worked first time. Few days later no more ants.

## Features

- Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
- OPTIMAL CONTROL: Optigard Ant Gel Bait from Syngenta is a high-performing bait product targeting all major ant species. It’s formulated with 0.01% Thiamethoxam, which offers unparalleled control of a broad spectrum of ants.
- EASY APPLICATION: This stainless, odorless ant bait is known for its clear gel formulation that ants are attracted to and is easy for them to consume. Begin by inspecting and identifying ant infestations, whether they are indoors or outdoors. Apply the bait gel strategically in specific areas where ants are visibly trailing, including cracks, crevices, beneath appliances and in concealed spaces like attics and crawl spaces, to achieve comprehensive control.
- TARGETS ALL MAJOR SPECIES: The sugar-based gel matrix of Optigard ant gel bait is highly attractive to ants, which makes it extremely effective on all major ant species.
- EFFICIENT ANT CONTROL: Other baits can be too runny, which prevents ants from transporting the bait back to the colony. However, the consistency of Optigard Ant Gel Bait makes it easy for ants to carry to the colony and share with nestmates for full colony control.
- COMPACT PACKAGING: Optigard Ant Gel Bait is packaged in ready-to-use, 30-gram syringes, making it easy to use. It should be applied where ants trail, forage or nest indoors and outdoors

## Questions & Answers

**Q: if you used terro how does this compare?**
A: I have used Terro and I have found Optigard to be considerable more effective. What has worked well for me is to identify where the ants are coming from, and where their trails are. I then place a bead of about 1/2 inch, or so, near the entrance and on the trails. (If you are concerned about about pets or children touching the gel you might cut one inch pieces of drinking straws and put the bead of gel inside those) The ants are quickly attracted to the gel and you need to leave it alone. The ants will take the gel back to the nest and use it to feed the queen and the young ants. They will quickly die (a couple of days) and once the life cycle of ants is relatively short a dead queen means ne new ants. I've had really good results doing this.

**Q: Is this for sugar ants or protein ants?**
A: Optigard attracts both sugar and protein ants. They have another product, Advion that is designed for sugar ants only.

**Q: Does it have a strong odor? Thanks for your time.**
A: Hi!  No---it has no odor that I've noticed, and you use very little at a time.  You need to put it in the path of the ants and just little dabs at a time.  It's a pretty thick gel so it sticks up around the ceilings, under a countertop edge, etc...  just keep it away from pets and kids!

**Q: It says it can’t be delivered to where I live (CT,) any idea why?**
A: Purely speculating that it’s due to an ingredient whose use is controlled / or banned in some way at the state level for CT that limits shipment directly to consumers

### ⭐ Didn't work
*by A***R on 5 August 2018*

Greek ants must be different to British ants! They walked around it and never ate it even when I covered a dead locust with the gel.
