Key Features

• Eliminates;  All species of ants and cockroaches, including large and small cockroach species.
• Liquid Oil Phase Release™; Technology ensures uptake of the fipronil, and produces results equal to, or better than, those of gel baits for cockroaches – including nymphal stages.
• Viral Feed Through Effect™; Of fipronil further ensures its rapid spread throughout ant colonies. Since fipronil is a quick acting insecticide, it is important to use it at a low rate to ensure it is spread throughout the entire colony.
• Advanced Bait Technology™; Provides  a unique composite of proteins, sugars and oils to target sugar feeding species, oil feeding species and protein feeding species.
• Ultra Strong; Performance is particularly spectacular when targeting cockroach nymphal stages, the most difficult life-stage to control.

Performance:

As a granular bait, efficacy is enhanced by the ant’s feeding behaviour. Worker ants are generally liquid feeders and cannot ingest solid baits. So they use their legs and mouthparts to physically carry the solid bait granules back to the nest for the larvae to digest and feed to the colony.

Therefore the bait is not diluted when it reaches the nest. In contrast, with liquid or gel baits, the ants ingest the bait and then pass it through to nest mates by trophallaxis, which means there is some dilution of the toxicant as it is passed from one ant to the next. More importantly though, with the Liquid Oil Phase Release™ technology, the workers are also able to feed directly on the HYMENOPTHOR ULTRA and receive a toxic dose of the active, as well as feeding on the pre-digested liquid from the larvae.

Cockroaches have an exceptionally high preference for solid based foods, with bread ranking higher than most cockroach gels as a preferred food. HYMENOPTHOR ULTRA optimally satisfies cockroaches preference for a cereal based diet leading to aggressive feeding and a speed of kill better than that achieved with gel baits. The Liquid Oil Phase Release ensures the fipronil is readily digested by the cockroaches.
