Whether in a restaurant, hotel, office building, or rental property: ants are among the most persistent pests commercial businesses have to deal with. A few individual ants are usually just the tip of the iceberg—behind them there is generally an entire colony with a nest, brood, and queen. Anyone who only controls the visible ants has not solved the actual problem: the colony simply produces new workers, and the infestation returns.
This is exactly where the Kaeferling Pro Ant Set comes in. It was developed based on many years of practical experience and feedback from numerous customers, offering a well-designed combination of baiting strategy and barrier application—for targeted, effective, and sustainable control of the entire colony.
Why isn’t spraying alone enough?
A widespread misconception: simply spraying away the ants and the problem is solved. In reality, a contact spray only kills the ants that are visible at that moment. The nest, brood, and queen remain untouched—the infestation reappears shortly afterward.
The significantly more effective strategy: a gel bait application. The ants consume the bait, carry it back to the nest, and pass it on there through the natural exchange of food within the colony. This allows the active ingredient to reach areas that are completely inaccessible to people—including the brood and queen. This is the key to a long-term solution instead of short-term symptom control.
What’s included in the Kaeferling Pro Ant Set?
The set combines five coordinated components that together provide a complete pest control strategy:
1. Advion ant gel (1 × 30 g cartridge)
The centerpiece of the set. A highly attractive bait that the ants actively transport to the nest and distribute throughout the colony. This not only reduces the currently visible population but also weakens the entire colony sustainably.
2. David empty bait stations, green (10 pieces)
For clean, protected placement of the gel—particularly practical in sensitive areas such as restaurant kitchens or areas with customer and public traffic. Reusable and discreet in use.
3. Esca-Bar white bait stations (10 pieces)
Flat, discreet gel stations for targeted placement along typical ant trails – for example, along skirting boards, furniture edges, or entry points. Ideal when openly applying bait is not practical.
4. Deltasect Spray (500 ml)
Complements the baiting strategy with an immediate effect on direct contact and the establishment of a protective barrier at entry areas. Important: No additional spray should be used in the immediate bait area, as this may repel the ants and reduce bait uptake.
5. Imidasect ant bait boxes (6 pieces, 1.4 g gel each)
Pre-filled, ready-to-use bait boxes for hard-to-reach or particularly sensitive areas – no refilling required.
Which industries is the set suitable for?
Ant infestations affect every industry. The following are particularly frequently affected:
- Food service: Food areas are highly attractive to ants – discreet, hygienic pest control is essential here.
- Hospitality: An ant infestation in guest areas damages the reputation – quick, discreet action is crucial.
- Real estate and facility management: Landlords are often required to remedy pest infestations in rental properties promptly.
- Retail and wholesale as well as public facilities: Wherever there is public traffic, clean and safe application is particularly important.
The set is suitable for indoor areas as well as adjacent outdoor areas, covering most typical infestation situations in commercial settings.
How to use the set correctly
- Identify ant trails and treat them specifically.
- Apply the gel in small droplets along ant trails and at entry points.
- Place bait stations and bait boxes in sensitive or high-traffic areas.
- Avoid disturbing the ants as much as possible while they are feeding on the bait.
- Apply the barrier spray specifically to access points and transition areas – not in the immediate bait area.
A first decline in activity is generally noticeable after a few days. Since neither the exact ant species nor the actual nest size can always be determined with certainty, complete control may take anywhere from several days to several weeks, depending on the severity of the infestation.
