Gel treatment
Gel treatments are a popular and effective method for controlling pests like ants and cockroaches. The gel is typically applied in small, targeted areas where pests are known to travel, such as cracks, crevices, and other hidden spots. Ants or cockroaches are attracted to the gel, consume it, and then carry it back to their nests or colonies, spreading the treatment to other members. This method allows for widespread control of infestations over time, as the active ingredient works to eliminate the pests gradually. Gel treatments are often preferred because they are low in odor, easy to apply, and can be used indoors with minimal disruption.
How Do Gel Treatments Work?
The key to gel treatments is the slow-acting insecticide embedded in the gel. Ants and cockroaches are drawn to the bait because it mimics their natural food sources. After consuming the gel, pests return to their nest and spread the poison to others through feeding or contact. This method allows the treatment to eliminate not just the visible pests but also the hidden colonies, which are often difficult to reach with traditional methods.

Where Are Gel Treatments Applied?
Gel treatments are applied in areas where pests are commonly seen or known to travel, such as cracks, crevices, baseboards, and along trails. The discrete application means the gel remains out of sight, making it ideal for both residential and commercial environments. Because the treatment is targeted, it can be used in sensitive areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and food preparation spaces without causing disruption.
