Optigard Ant Gel Bait Granted Florida Registration

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Syngenta announced today that Optigard Ant Gel Bait, introduced in June, has received Florida state registration. Now pest management professionals in Florida can experience the control of thiamethoxam, a non-repellant chemistry which controls the entire colony via transfer and trophallaxis (regurgitation).

Optigard Ant Gel Bait controls of a broad spectrum of ants, including Argentine, carpenter, ghost and other pest ant species, by ingestion and transfer of the bait, targeting the colony, not just the workers. The new gel formulation is clear and non-staining, with low odor. Additionally, Optigard Ant Gel Bait provides a longer window of palatability so, as it ages, ants will continue to feed on the bait without any loss of attraction.

Optigard Ant Gel Bait is currently approved in all U.S. states with the exception of California, New York and Alaska.
