Bio-Active Ant Gel: How It Works & Why It’s the Smart, Safe Choice
Pest Dominion Limited explains how professional ant gel baiting targets the nest for lasting control—using a bio-active gel that’s non-toxic to all non-target species.
What Is Our Bio-Active Ant Gel?
Our bio-active ant gel combines an attractive food matrix (sweet or protein-based, selected by species) with a slow-acting active that ants willingly share within the colony. Crucially, our formulation is designed with safety in mind: it is non-toxic to all non-target species, making it an environmentally responsible option for homes, pets, and local wildlife when applied professionally.
How the Treatment Works
- Survey & Identification – We identify the ant species (e.g., black garden ants, pharaoh ants) and map foraging trails and entry points.
- Targeted Placement – Small dots or fine lines of gel are placed near trails, entry gaps, and discreet areas (behind kickboards, appliances, cable routes) to maximise uptake while minimising visibility.
- Foraging & Transfer – Workers feed on the gel and transport it back to the nest. Because the active is delayed-action, they have time to share it with nestmates—including the queen—via trophallaxis (food exchange).
- Colony Control – Over the following days, the active spreads through the colony, eliminating the source of the infestation for durable results.

- Discreet & Low-Impact – Minimal product in precise locations; no odour, no mess.
- Long-Lasting – Continues working along foraging routes for weeks.
- Species-Matched – Sweet or protein gels selected for the ant species present.
- Safety First – Our bio-active gel is non-toxic to all non-target species, supporting a safer approach for families, pets, and the environment when applied as directed.
Professional Treatment vs DIY
Shop baits can help but often miss the mark on species identification, placement strategy, and bait choice—leading to slow or incomplete results. Pest Dominion technicians diagnose the species, deploy the correct gel in the right locations, and manage follow-up to ensure full colony control.
Preparation & Aftercare
- Before treatment, avoid cleaning away ant trails or using sprays on them—this can repel ants from the gel.
- After placement, do not disturb gel dots. A brief increase in activity can occur as ants recruit others—this is normal and desirable.
- Store food in sealed containers, wipe up sugary spills, and keep bins closed.
- Seal gaps around windows, doors, and service penetrations to reduce re-entry.
Always follow label directions and technician guidance for safe, effective use.

Ant Gel Treatment FAQs
How quickly will I see results?
Many clients notice a reduction within 24–48 hours. Full colony control typically follows over several days, depending on species and colony size.
Is it safe around children and pets?
Yes—our bio-active gel is non-toxic to all non-target species and is placed in discreet, targeted spots. Keep children and pets away from placements until advised by the technician.
Will activity stop immediately?
You may see ants recruiting to the gel for a short time. This is part of the process—ants must carry the bait back to the nest for complete control.
