Essential Tools You Can Trust

Gels Tool Box

Just like a carpenter’s trusty hammer, professional pest managers need reliable products to get the job done right. In the world of cockroach and ant control, Syngenta’s lineup of ADVION®, ARILON®, and OPTIGARD® gels are the essential tools you can trust. 

Build Your Best Pest Control Toolbox  

Formulated with highly attractive bait matrices, ADVION® and OPTIGARD® gel baits are the industry’s leaders for superior control of ants and cockroaches. While ARILON® is one of the most versatile non-repellent spray insecticides around. 

And when they are used together they really pack a punch. Combining ARILON® with our ADVION® and OPTIGARD® gels improves your treatment outcome, leading to better control, less callbacks and happier customers. This is where strategy meets science. 

Double Down: ADVION® + ARILON® 

Cockroaches are notorious survivors. But when you combine ADVION® Cockroach Gel or ADVION® Evolution Cockroach Gel with ARILON® Insecticide you get a knockout punch that delivers fast, sustained control even in the toughest environments. 

  • ADVION® Cockroach Gel delivers proven performance with its unique transfer effect, enabling primary, secondary, and even tertiary kill.
  • ADVION® Evolution raises the stakes with an increased bait consumption and improved speed of kill (even when compared with ADVION® Cockroach Gel). Featuring the proven performance of indoxacarb and its exponential control through tertiary transfer. It is THE bait to control even the toughest cockroach.
  • ARILON® is a powerful, non-repellent spray insecticide which controls a wide variety of ants, cockroaches and houseflies. Ideal in pyrethroid resistance management programs. Can be used to directly treat active pest infestations or as a routine preventative spray 

Both ADVION® and ARILON® are non-repellents, which increases their success rate when combined. The problem with using traditional spray pesticides in combination with non-repellent products, is the risk of deterring cockroaches from eating any gel baits you’ve laid out. You don’t have to worry about this with ADVION® and ARILON®, as they work together to ensure as much active ingredient is ingested as possible. To learn more about this combination, click here

Pro Tip: Use ARILON® to treat harbourage zones and cracks, then bait with ADVION® to achieve exponential control that keeps working long after you've left the site.  

Ant Control That Goes the Distance 

Whether you're dealing with sugar-feeders or protein-hunting ants, Syngenta offers a one-two punch that wipes out colonies and reduces call-backs. 

  • OPTIGARD® Ant Gel Bait is a highly palatable bait infused with thiamethoxam, a non-repellent active ingredient that is transferred back to the nest eliminating ant colonies, avoiding callbacks and re-treatments. OPTIGARD® controls a broad range of ant species.
  • ADVION® Ant Gel is a highly attractive gel formulation that controls a broad range of ant species. The translucent, no odour, non-staining formulation maintains its integrity for long periods allowing ants to consume more bait over an extended period. 

When combined with the non-repellent ARILON®, these gels pack even more impact. Spray ARILON® to treat active trails and nesting areas, then follow up with OPTIGARD® or ADVION® gel placements to ensure complete control.  

To determine which gel to use, conduct an Ant Taste Test, to ensure you are using the gel that is most targeted to the problem ants. To learn more about doing a taste test, click here
