Synergy Pro Ant Bait

Synergy Pro Ant Bait is a revolutionary granular ant bait formulated for fast, effective, and long-lasting ant control. Engineered with a dual-active, dual-food matrix, Synergy Pro targets both worker and reproductive ants, delivering total colony elimination and reducing the chance of reinfestation.

This advanced bait contains two different food granules, making it highly attractive to a wide range of ant species throughout the year. Its unique combination of two active ingredients ensures comprehensive control by disrupting both foraging activity and reproduction within the colony.

Key Features & Benefits of Synergy Pro Granular Ant Bait

• Two different food granules to ensure the bait is attractive to a wide range of ant species and remains attractive as food preferences change
• Two different active ingredients for improved colony control through dual mode of action:
  • Hydramethylnon targets all castes but particularly workers
  • Pyriproxyfen targets Queen(s) by stopping egg laying and prevents larval development
• Easy flow granular formulation makes it easy for broadcast application without clogging the shaker
• Suitable for indoor or outdoor use for a wide range of application situations. It is recommended that a bait station is used for indoor applications.

Why does Synergy Pro Granular Ant Bait contain 2 different food granules?

Although some ant species tend to prefer a specific type of food, be it sugar, protein or oil, many ant species will eat a wide range of foods. Furthermore, even ants with a particular preference often change their diet throughout the year to meet the requirements of the colony. For example many ant species (even sugar feeders) will require food with a higher protein content when the colony is producing young.

With most ant bait formulations containing only a single food group, pest professionals need to carry a range of different baits. Knowing which bait to use for a particular species at a certain time of the year can be a challenge, and if there are multiple species to control, it may be necessary to apply several different baits.

Synergy Pro Ant Bait was developed with the objective of providing pest professionals with a single product that could be used in a wide variety of situations. Synergy Pro Ant Bait contains two different granule formulations to ensure broad appeal to a wide range of species throughout the year. Some species may take both granules, others only the granule that meets their food preference or colony requirements.

Why does Synergy Pro Granular Ant Bait contain 2 different active ingredients?

To gain complete control, baits need to be spread throughout the colony and kill the queen. However, some baits work too fast and the colony detects the problem and stops feeding on the bait before it gets to the queens. Other baits are not rejected by workers but are rejected by queens, as the queens appear to be more sensitive to certain actives, making the bait repellent.

Either way, it is not uncommon for baits to kill a large number of workers, giving you the appearance of colony control. However, the bait is often not delivered to the queen. As a result, the queen continues laying eggs and a few weeks later, the problem returns! This is especially a problem with species with multiple queens - all the queens need to be killed to get lasting control.

Synergy Pro ant bait has been designed to maximise distribution within the colony. Synergy Pro utilises a unique dual active system, each granule contains a mixture of hydramethylnon and pyriproxyfen (IGR). By reducing the level of individual actives but using the actives in combination, bait attractiveness can be maintained without compromising effectiveness. With pyriproxyfen having a specific action that targets the queen, you are maximising the chances of achieving colony control and lasting protection.

Application Tips for Synergy Pro Ant Bait

• Broadcast treatment over infested areas provides the best results (and does not require location of nests)
• Individual mound treatments can be carried out by spreading bait over visible nest / mound area.
• Avoid application if rain is expected within 6 hours
  Do not water treated areas for 24 hours.
