New DuPont Advion Ant Gel Receives EPA Registration

WILMINGTON, Del. — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted regulatory approval for DuPont Advion ant gel. As the first novel chemistry in the ant gel market in years, Advion ant gel will provide pest management professionals with consistent, broad-spectrum control of multiple ant species including key sweet feeders, plus carpenter ants 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. Its strong attractant formulation helps PCOs gain broad-spectrum control. The bait’s active ingredient is classified by EPA as reduced risk.

“We’re proud to introduce a new member of the Advion family to our customers, who have come to rely on the power of its chemistry and its superior environmental profile,” Mike McDermott, global business leader for DuPont Professional Products, said in a release. “Today’s PMPs are challenged by the older chemistries and unpredictable results of ant bait products on the market today. PMPs who are looking for infestation control of sweet feeders, carpenter ants and other species will now have the reliable, thorough insect control they expect from the Advion® brand.”

DuPont has submitted for state approvals. The company  will showcase Advion ant gel at PestWorld starting Oct. 17, in Orlando, Fla.
