Optigard Ant Gel is an ant bait gel used to control various ant species, excluding fire, harvester, and Pharaoh ants. It is applied indoors in cracks, crevices, corners, and out of the way places like under appliances or around window frames, and outdoors on, into, or adjacent to structures where ants are observed. Use the syringe applicator or bait injector to place small amounts of gel into cracks, crevices, holes, and other small openings where ants travel.
