DuPont Advion Ant Gel Receives California Registration

WILMINGTON, Del. — DuPont Professional Products announced today that its DuPont Advion ant gel is now registered for use in California. Proven to control multiple ant species, Advion ant gel also features a superior environmental profile including an EPA-classified Reduced Risk active ingredient.

Advion ant gel will provide California pest management professionals (PMPs) with consistent, broad-spectrum control of multiple ant species including all key sweet feeders, plus carpenter, argentine, pharaoh and many others.  Powered by the MetaActive compound, Advion ant gel leverages the ant’s own enzymes to provide total colony control, even when multiple queens are present.  It has a strong attractant formulation and the product's smooth gel stays thick when applied, even on the hottest days.

“I’m actively involved in the water quality issues in California and how pest control fits within the growing environmental movement,” said Darren Van Steekwyk, technical director at Clark Pest Control, Lodi, Calif.  Clark Pest Control is the largest family-owned pest control company in California with 22 branches throughout the state.  “Advion products already play an important role in our services based on their superior toxicological profile and performance. I’m especially impressed by their low toxicity to non-target organisms. At the same time, I see how reliant our industry has become on a limited class of chemistries. The new chemistry and mode of action for Advion have delivered outstanding performance.”

“Today’s announcement reflects our ongoing commitment to provide products that meet the stringent environmental requirements of California while delivering the performance results that our customers demand,” said Mike McDermott, global business leader for DuPont Professional Products.
