SureKill® Ant Gel Bait: Fast, Flexible Ant Control for Today's Pest Management Professional

When ant infestations become established, Pest Management Professionals (PMPs) need solutions that are effective, easy to deploy, and compatible with a variety of service programs. SureKill® Ant Gel Bait from Neogen® is formulated to help technicians target foraging ants, promote bait transfer within the colony, and provide control in both indoor and outdoor treatment areas. The formulation combines the active ingredient imidacloprid with a highly palatable bait matrix designed to encourage consumption by a broad range of ant species. Packaged for precise application, SureKill Ant Gel Bait offers PMPs a practical option for addressing active infestations while supporting efficient service delivery across residential and commercial accounts.

The Challenge of Ant Control

Ants remain one of the most common structural pests encountered by PMPs. Whether servicing residential homes, multifamily housing, commercial facilities, or sensitive accounts, technicians routinely face persistent infestations that require more than contact insecticide applications alone.

While contact treatments can quickly reduce visible foraging activity, they often fail to eliminate the colony responsible for ongoing infestations; and without reaching the colony, populations can quickly rebound. Long-term, effective ant management depends on a bait that foraging workers readily accept, retrieve, and distribute throughout the colony via trophallaxis and other social interactions. This is where SureKill Ant Gel Bait excels—its highly palatable bait matrix is designed to encourage feeding and bait transfer, allowing the active ingredient to reach individuals in the colony beyond those directly consuming the bait. By targeting the colony rather than only the workers, the bait supports a more comprehensive approach to ant management.

Powered by Imidacloprid

SureKill® Ant Gel Bait uses a lower concentration (0.01%) of imidacloprid to provide a delayed mortality, allowing foraging workers sufficient time to retrieve the bait and distribute it throughout the colony before its effects occur. As ants consume the bait and share it with nestmates, the active ingredient reaches other members of the colony, including reproductive members. This colony-wide distribution supports broad population reduction and continued control following application.

Unlike contact sprays that depend on direct exposure, gel bait formulations take advantage of natural foraging and food-sharing behavior. Worker ants transport the bait back to nesting sites, allowing the active ingredient to reach ants that would otherwise remain protected within structural cavities or other inaccessible harborages.

A Formula Designed for Acceptance

One of the greatest challenges with ant baiting is maintaining bait acceptance throughout the treatment period. SureKill Ant Gel Bait was formulated to remain highly attractive to foraging ants, encouraging consistent feeding even after application. The formulation includes a blend of carbohydrates and proteins with a higher concentration of sugars, designed to appeal to many common structural pest ant species and help avoid bait-aversion tendencies. Its mixed-texture gel also facilitates bait pickup and ingestion, increasing the likelihood that foraging workers will transport and distribute the bait throughout the colony.

Thanks to its hygroscopic properties, the product also resists drying out, helping maintain palatability over time. This characteristic is especially valuable in challenging service environments where bait longevity can significantly influence treatment success. This keeps your bait active longer, increasing the chances of ant interactions.

Flexible Applications for a Variety of Accounts

SureKill Ant Gel Bait is labeled for both indoor and outdoor ant control, providing technicians with flexibility across a wide range of service situations. The ready-to-use gel can be applied in cracks, crevices, and other ant activity areas where colonies forage and travel.

This versatility makes it suitable for use in:

• Residential homes
• Apartments and multifamily housing
• Commercial buildings
• Restaurants and food service facilities (when used according to label directions)
• Warehouses and storage areas
• Basements, garages, crawl spaces, and utility areas

By delivering precise placements in targeted locations, PMPs can focus control efforts where ants are most active while minimizing product use and disruption to occupants.

An Ideal Addition to IPM Programs

Today's PMPs recognize that sustainable ant management requires more than a single treatment method. Successful IPM programs combine thorough inspections, sanitation recommendations, exclusion practices, continued monitoring, and targeted product applications to address the factors contributing to ant infestations.

SureKill Ant Gel Bait complements these programs by providing a targeted control option that exploits natural ant foraging and food-sharing behaviors rather than relying solely on broad insecticide treatments. By placing bait strategically near foraging trails and harborages, technicians can achieve effective colony suppression while supporting a more comprehensive pest management strategy.
