How to control ants in hard-to-reach areas

While ants can be tricky to manage, their social behavior can be used to a pest management professional's advantage. An innovative product like Advion® MicroFlow insect bait capitalizes on these natural behaviors for more thorough ant control — so a little goes a long way.  

"I was dealing with an odorous house ant situation. I applied Advion MicroFlow in a small crack. Some [dry flowable bait] fell in front of the crack and immediately the ants started ‘dancing’ in it." - Wally Malendez at A&R Pest Solutions in Vancouver, Washington

Reach deep into voids 

Advion MicroFlow is a dry flowable bait that helps control ants, cockroaches and other pests that hide in hard-to-reach voids inaccessible to gel baits or liquids. To reach its target, Advion MicroFlow: 

  • Features a MetaActive effect that controls target pests, while reducing impact on non-target organisms 
  • Can be used as a complementary product with gel baits 
  • Features packaging compatible with electric, bulb and bellows dusters 

Let the ants do the work for you 

Advion MicroFlow is designed to be transported by ants themselves, so they can get the bait right where it needs to go. Here’s how it works: 

  • Its finely milled formulation adheres to ants’ cuticles 
  • A secondary transfer effect occurs when ants carry larger particles back to their harborages and nestmates consume it during grooming 
  • Because of its highly attractive bait matrix, you’ll see high bait consumption and ant mortality 

Add Advion MicroFlow to your ant management program and experience enhanced control on your residential and commercial accounts. For more information, visit SyngentaPMP.com/AdvionMicroFlow.
