Odorous house ants (Tapinoma sessile) are a widespread nuisance across North America, known for their preference for sugary foods and their distinctive rotten coconut smell when crushed. These ants form colonies with multiple queens and can range from hundreds to thousands of individual ants. Outdoors, they nest under rocks and boards, feeding on honeydew and nectar. Indoors, they’re often found near moisture sources such as wall voids or termite-damaged wood. Their ability to thrive in varied environments and contaminate food products makes them a persistent challenge.

For effective control, Formitrol® Ant Bait Gel from Zoëcon Professional Products offers a powerful, dual-action solution specifically designed to manage nuisance ant species like odorous house ants. Combining dinotefuran, an adulticide, with (S)-methoprene, our pioneering insect growth regulator (IGR) that impacts reproduction, Formitrol® targets both the current population and future generations. 

Approved for use in residential, industrial, and commercial settings, this bait gel can be applied with precision using its syringe format and is also compatible with Antack™ Liquid Bait for rotation strategies.
