MAGNUM ANTS

Gel cartridge

Application

Ready-to-use insecticide for ant control – bait gel supplied in a syringe/cartridge, applied as drops or lines.

Insecticide intended for the control of adult ants:

• Pharaoh ants (Monomorium pharaonis)

• Argentine ants (Linepithema humile)

• Black garden ants (Lasius niger)

For use:

• indoors – residential, industrial, public, commercial or institutional buildings

• outdoors – near buildings, terraces and private gardens

Suitable for trained professionals, professional users and the general public (non-professionals).

The gel should be applied in drops or lines in places where ants are observed, such as along ant trails or near nests.

The product contains a bittering agent (0.008% Bitrex®) which makes it unpleasant for humans and pets.

Active substance

Imidacloprid – 0.1 g/kg (0.01%)

Packaging

40 g

Dosage and frequency of use

0.2 g/m²

1 drop or a 3 cm line ≈ 0.2 g of gel bait

Check bait placements after 7 days.
If the bait has been consumed, apply again.

The treatment may be repeated three months after the infestation has ended.

Instructions for use

Always read the label or instructions before use and follow all directions.

After inspecting the area and determining the level of infestation, place bait points where ants are observed.

Apply the gel:

• in ant nests

• along ant trails

• in cracks and crevices

• in areas where ants enter buildings

For outdoor use (terraces, courtyards, gardens), apply in locations where ants are likely to appear, such as:

• eaves

• cornices

• areas where cables or pipes enter the building

Remove alternative food sources from the treated area so they do not compete with the bait.

Before applying the bait, it is recommended to wash hands to avoid contamination with strong odors such as tobacco.

Do not spray or fog other insecticides near bait placements, as this may reduce the attractiveness of the bait.

Do not apply to wood or porous surfaces.
If necessary, apply the bait on a non-porous surface (e.g., plastic sheet).

Check bait points regularly.

Outdoors, if environmental conditions such as rain, strong sunlight or dirt affect the bait, it should be reapplied.

Product effectiveness: more than 90% mortality within 15 days.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Prevent children and animals from touching treated areas.

Use only in areas not subject to frequent cleaning.

Safety precautions

Do not apply the bait in areas recently treated with another insecticide.

To avoid resistance development, alternate with products containing different active substances.

Use only recommended doses and intervals.

Avoid release of the product into soil, drains or watercourses.

When used near buildings, do not apply near drainage pipes.

If the area is connected to rainwater drainage systems, use only in places protected from flooding or rainwater.

Apply the product in a way that minimizes the risk of ingestion by children or animals.

Additional instructions for trained professionals

Do not apply on surfaces where food or animal feed is prepared, consumed or stored.

The product may be used in food industry facilities only in the absence of food, except in warehouses where food products are properly packaged.

Ensure that food, equipment and utensils do not contain residues of active substances.

If treatment is ineffective, inform the authorization holder, as this may indicate resistance development.
