Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q. Is it really possible to rid my place of ants?

A. Yes it is, with the right combination of product, thoroughness and persistence.

 

 

Q. What do I use INSIDE the house?

A. NO Ants Gel Bait and NO Ants Long Term Residual Surface Spray.

 

 

Q. What do I use OUTSIDE the house?

A. NO Ants Outdoors for all garden and soil situations, below concrete paths, stumps and stones. Plus NO ANTS GEL BAITS in sheds and sheltered areas along with long term surface sprays onto the house foundations and steps.

 

 

Q. How do the NO Ants Gel Baits work?

A. Kiwicare NO Ants Gel baits are taken back to the nests by the ants and fed to the queen and larvae effectively controlling the entire nest and colony.

 

 

Q. How do the long term residual surface sprays work?

A. Every time ants pass over the treated areas they pick up minute traces of the dermal poison, eventually killing themselves.

 

 

Q. How does the NO Ants Outdoors work?

A. Once the poison has been soaked into the soil by hosing, approximately 50-75mm deep, the ants once again die by dermal contact as they track through or over the poisoned soil areas.

 

 

Q. Why not use just one product?

A. Because ants are usually present in such huge numbers, there are many feeding stations, several different colonies and many differnt traffic routes. Occasionally it is possible to achieve control using just one product, however this is normally the exception rather than the rule.

 

 

Q. What makes NO Ants Gel so extremely effective?

A. There are many species of ants. Some are CARBOHYDRATE feeders, others prefer PROTEIN foods.

Kiwicare has developed a revolutionary gel bait which combines all the advantages of both proteins and carbohydrate attractants at the same time retaining all of the excellent ant control and killing qualities. It also eliminates all bait shyness.

 

 
   
 

NO ANTS 5 – 1 Concentrate

Interior and Exterior Uses

Safe, Effective and Environmentally Acceptable

 

Spraying

NO ANTS is formulated for application by brush or low pressure garden sprays and can be mixed 5 – 1 in water or turps.

Whilst the turps base will offer longer residual control, operators should however avoid over-spraying with turps onto plants, shrubs and windows. Water base is much safer and more versatile and can also be used to control spider mites and other insects in ornamentals and conifers.

 

Application

A thorough spraying of all ant trails and entry points into the home is essential. Pay particular attention to all steps, foundations, doorways, drains and skirting boards. Using a low pressure garden sprayer and a fine mist spray, a thorough treatment to both interior and exterior should take approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
