Review: Great product! Ants 🐜 gone. - My pest control guy recommended this product for my ants 🐜 issues. This works great! Within a day of applying, the ants are gone! The package comes with four tubs and one applicator. It is very easy to apply, mess free and a thin layer of amount gel works wonders. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has ants issues.
Review: Ghost ants be gone! - I tried this some time ago in the past, but also tried a similar brand. Couldn't remeber which worked. But I had 3 tubes of the other one left, probably 4 years old. Optiguard I had purchased ad a single tube and didn't have any left. Out of nowhere, ghost ants took over a corner of my kitchen. Many ghost ants. I got out the left over gel... they ate it. And ate it. And ate it. In typical ghost ant style, they maybe seemed to suddenly go away, but then suddenly come back. I kept the kitchen as clean as possible, but the tiniest crumb left in the sink, they went nuts for it! But, they were still eating the gel too. After a week, I really didn't see any reduction. So, I ordered this stuff. Life ended up going crazy, and I gave up on a spotless kitchen, I mean I already have ants, why bother! This stuff came and I was like, uh, this won't possibly work without also scrubbing everything down, but... eh, I out out a couple of dots right by they're favorite little spot in the corner where their highway seems to come and go. Next day, meh, ants still there but it doesn't work overnight, at least they are eating it. Life was still in the way, so I just didn't deal with my kitchen. Next say I got up, ready to scrub down the kitchen and do a nice job of distributing this stuff...... the ants were gone. Like, gone gone. Well that's cool. I cleaned the kitchen, put a tiny bit more at their favorite spot.... its been a couple weeks now. And I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of a slob, dishes have been left out at times. Crumbs have gotten everywhere. But I haven't seen an ant. I'm stunned. I know those suckers will just instantly look like they're gone, and then be right back. But it's been a couple weeks and no signs of them, so I'm feeling confident. Did the first bait I put out just finally kick in? Or is the Optiguard superior? Or was the other brand just too old to be effective? I think the optiguard really is superior. Why else would I have had to try 2 brands last time? Highly recommend. Only complaint is I can't buy just one tube. It works so well, I will never need all 4 tubes. Maybe I'll give them out as birthday gifts? Lol.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Dead Ants’ Party: When Others Didn’t Work, Optigard Slapped
*by A***E on December 27, 2023*

We are in southern California and recently had an army of tenacious tiny black ants in our kitchen. They were relentless. They ate through the caulking around the kitchen sink (!) and set up a very comfortable residential retreat behind, around, and underneath our sink. We cleaned, we removed all possible food sources, we scoured around the outside of the home to find a source or trail (no luck - I believe they may have come up one of the plumbing pipes, but as you'll soon learn, their origin story is lost to time), all to no avail. We were stumped. So we started with what we knew - in the past, we had used borax products (e.g. Terro) with great success. Typically the ants would swarm the Terro baits like Studio 54, partying day and night for a day or two and then be completely gone shortly after that. But oh no, not this time, and not these guys. Terro was a joke to them. Either they were immune to it or most of them were too smart for it. Don't get me wrong, dear reader - they occasionally availed themselves of the Terro. Not the same swarming behavior I'd seen in the past, but they did. Quite a few climbed inside the baits and so I optimistically assumed we were on the right track. But after a couple of days went by and I saw zero impact on the population, I decided to put dabs of the Terro along their paths, near their trails on the counter, etc. Some avoided it, but some of them seemed to eat it. But at this point I think they were just pretending in order to mess with me. But regardless of their motivations, it had no real effect. More days went by and the population was unscathed, perhaps even fortified. Were they laughing at me? I began to question everything I thought was true: are there ant vitamins in Terro? Please don't think I'm slamming Terro. I'm sure the product is great for certain kinds of ants and it has worked well for us in repelling previous invasions. But it was useless against whatever species we were facing this time. So I turned to a Reddit sub called AntControl where I learned about Optigard, which is mentioned alongside a few others (such as Advion) as a good prosumer tool for ant control. As residents of California, we have limited options (and I'm honestly glad about that) so that limits our selection somewhat. Also an important lesson is that if you can, figure out the species you're dealing with and whether they like protein or sugar, etc. but that's another conversation. Anyway I ordered a pack of Optigard and the moment it arrived I went to work. I cleaned up all my previous Terro stuff so we had a clean slate, and then put dabs of Optigard at strategic locations. I probably used one-half of one syringe in total. IT WAS LIKE STUDIO 54 AGAIN! The ants absolutely loved this stuff. Within mere minutes they were jamming their sick little faces into the gel like they were bobbing for apples or something. They could not get enough of it. They were muscling each other out of the way to get at the stuff. I swear they were having contests with each other to see who could get the most. I'm not entirely sure about this because it was fairly late, but that first night I think I even saw one of them holding a little beer-bong type funnel while another chugged it like some kind of party an(t)imal. However tempted this made me to resurrect my optimism, I met this behavior with a cautious regard. I'd gotten my hopes up before, after all. The next day the partying continued apace. Over the next 48-72 hours things started getting very quiet. I started noticing something I'd never seen with prior invasions .... corpses! Corpses everywhere. These freaks were just dropping dead in the sink and on the counter. But clearly enough of them hadn't died too soon to bring their party ambrosia back to the nest and queen(s) because after another few days of stragglers, I haven't seen a single ant in months. Not a single ant. And that tells you something about this product. I'm glad I still have 3.5 syringes left in case we get more visitors. Again, your experience may vary based on species, their preferred food types, and your location, but Optigard was amazing for us when our previous arsenal was useless. Five stars.
