- For outdoor use, Habitro Ant Gel can be placed in cracks and crevices (in brick walls, between pavement slabs, etc.) where ants are seen to be active or when ant trails are evident.
- If nest entrances can be identified, inject 2 g of product directly
Best practice guidelines for ant control
- Conduct a thorough inspection to get a full idea of extent of ant trails and possible nesting sites.
- Place baits close to foraging ant workers.
- Correct any conditions which may be contributing to the infestation (e.g. food spillages, honeydew producing insects on plants, accessible food etc.)
- Ensure an adequate volume of bait and/or bait placements relative to infestation or feeding levels.
- Place baits preferably in an area protected by the rain.
- It is recommended to monitor at day 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after treatment. Repeat treatment when infestations are high.
