Daniel Walsh

The included application strips are easy to apply to surfaces, the bait is in a no mess paste which made it super easy to put on the application strips.

Within 45minutes there was an ant party.
Impressed with the product

Rose Leppard

The ant bait is impressive for drawing out the ants. We’ve had multiple infestations around the house and in my car! It seems to have dealt with them on all fronts. Thanks for a great product!

Dipak Parag

This ant bait works exactly as promised. Don’t waste your money on other brands.

simon king

We've had an ant trail in the house for quite some time and nothing store bought worked. 1 treatment of this stuff and the ants disappeared for a few days so i put down a 2nd a little further along the trail and we havent seen any since. very happy with this product and even happier its kiwi made.

very effective

Adam Bruce

I have been impressed with the friendly service received when I rang through my order for more products. I believe its important to support NZ family businesses. I first tried out the ant gel after purchasing at one of the Home shows in Hamilton some years ago, I had tried other products for our ant problem and found them pathetic . I was not disappointed with the Hawkeye products. Have continued to purchase their ant spray and topped up the gel. I recomment and trust their products.

Sarah Parkman

We have found this to be the best ant gel. The ants all make a beeline for it, carry it back to the nest and then we dont see them again. I found this works best if you wait for the ants to appear, then quietly apply it and let them get on with it.

Bruce Wileman

So good. I actually bought this as "phase 1" of a planned 3 phase antpocalypse. It was so effective that I didn't need to progress to phases 2 & 3. Really impressed!!!
This was very a very large (possibly multiple) colony with at least 4 different sub nests. Wiped them all out.
Highly recommend

Tracy Wilden

Thank you I have been trying to find a product that actually works on the ants we have and this one definitely does. It took 15min for these little critters to find it. Thank you for a great kiwi product.

This stuff is the bomb!!!. Laid the bait and within minutes the ants were all over it and a few hours later they were dropping dead!! I have used other products with minimal results. Cant wait to use this up at the batch where we have an infestations, so will use in combination with the outdoor spray. Cant wait to be ant free. Amazing product and will definitely buy again.

Ralph Woods

The little buggers seem to really like the stuff so now just looking for the result of less ants around my home

May Ooi

I had black ants indoors and they were quickly attracted to it. Cleared the ants after a few days. The applicator strips were handy and made bait application easy. Hawkeye is a trustworthy company.

Naomi Stairmand

Instant and lasting results, when other baits didn't even touch the sides and we thought we would be in for a major and lengthy ant-control mission. Thank god we found Hawkeye! Highly recommend.

Bruce Robinson

Actually works, where as supermarket stuff the ants aren’t even interested in it. Ant killer should kill ants and Hawkeye does just that.

Bob Williams

A bit early to say but it seems to have helped reduce the population considerably. Will continute to bait for a few more days and then spray the routes.

However, the advice (spray first and then bait second) runs against everything I've read everywhere else for the white legged ant. I'm curious why you go against the general line of advice. Is this because of a focus on Argentinian ants? I've followed the general advice for white footed ants. Seems to have worked.

John Mackay

Greta product, great service...Fixed up delivery issue quickly and politely

Guy Vickers

Works well, great product, tried many other brands with no success.

Gavan Russell

I've used other brands this one works great the ants are at it even while you are applying it. Certainly reduced my ant population

Amy Carleton

amazed how quickly the ants are attracted to the bait! even the sticker bait strips are a great idea too. super impressed!

David Riches

Works well and recommend to others

Brenda Hamnett

Quick delivery and has eliminated my ant problem.
Thankyou

Patricia Dunlop

This product works very well. Would not use anything else.

stephen campion

Dead within 2 days , fantastic.

Mike La franchie

Used this in conjunction with the exterior and interior spray. It wiped out a nest of white footed ants which has been bothering me in the house for years. While it cost a little more than hardware store variants, the Hawkeye stuff actually worked. The hardware store stuff I’ve tried in the past has been ineffective. I will buy this product again if needed.

Nicky Jury

Really effective and really fast acting. This is a great product if you have an ant problem. Highly recommended.

Jillian Wedding

Ants are loving the gell. The tube's are very small and expensive. I used one up the first few days. Seems to be working though!
Haven't used the outdoor spray yet as had Rueben from Ecosan spray my property for the Australian Big Headed Ants a week ago. He put me onto this product.

Karen Murray

The ants love it, and there are many. They are definitely reducing in numbers. Have sprayed the house now, so hopefully in a couple more weeks, they should be gone

Christopher Martin

Bought the bait online, it turned up promptly. Used it immediately, and the argentine ants lined up for it. No more ants after 3 days.

Adam Sawyer

I bought two tubes. In the space of a few days and treatments we now have no more ants in the house. Incredible and hope it lasts.

Victoria Still

Clear instructions, well thought out kit, and great coms. Dont hesitate ! (I tried the supermarket and green options, knocked back but didnt remove. This does the job 👍)

Graeme Fowler

Best ant killer I have ever used.
Highly recommend it.
Cheers
Graeme

Joe Raeburn

Seems equivalent to another higher-priced product. The applicator strips aren’t useful everywhere, but are good for indoor applications.

Nadine Hindes

5 Star product, i had ants in my car for months. Tried this applicator on two strips near the ants and i havent seen one yet. Have applied around the house, ants take the bait, but i think its going to be a while before i get ontop of my problem. Would be great of the tubes can in a bigger size for bigger problems. Other than that highly recommend

Judy Caldwell

This works like magic! Nothing would get rid of these little critters until I used this product. Now all gone to heaven!!

Jim Smith

As good as the very expensive Indoxacarb gels.

Leone Redgwell

Karl Lloyd

Very good. Worked quickly and no sign of ants since.

Suzanne Camps

Moved to a house in the country with a big ant problem, lines of ants marching across the concrete to and from the house. Probably 5 or 6 points of entry around the entire house.
Laid strips of Hawkeye Ant Bait (which they loved) and within a few days started seeing clusters of dead ants. Definitely working. Awaiting my second order now for when they return.

Suzanne Camps

Mark Muir

Brilliant, had been using a product from a hardware store. Over about a 4 day period the ants were getting less but still coming. Laid a strip and a line of gel, within 24 hours not a single ant. Several days later still no ants. Your product is the best.

Susan Hay

Absolutely the best ant bait we've used. The others we tried didn't work for long. The clear gel is good too as it doesn't stain surfaces.

Neal Jenkins

Great product. Easy to use

James McDonald

Works well, 2 days later and all the answers are gone! Just just about to place another order for the summer period as the ants get on our fruit tree trees

Vickie Reeve

Awesome product had ants in my kitchen but couldn't see where they were coming from.
Put strips on floor with gel and watched them flood out. Left strips overnight and was a bit apprehensive looking in morning but not a trace of ants anywhere.
Re applied the gel and left for another few days but haven't seen any to date..Next day used the spray around exterior.
Brilliant product glad I came across this online.

Jean Williams

Wow within minutes of placing the bait down ants appeared like ants to honey. They were very busy. As time went on they disappeared never to return........

Bought this product for the 5 star reviews. Well worth it even with the hefty postage costs. I do live rural.

Would I purchase again? Absolutely!

Bob Howard

Works a treat, better than other brands out there.

JUDITH BISHOP

Quite simply, this ant bait WORKS! I've tried a few borax based baits that didn't, but this gel works, and fast! And it's easy to use with slightly sticky paper applicator strips that stay put but are easy to remove without damaging furniture. In a matter of a few hours the strips were covered with hungry ants. The next day there were only a few live ants (coming down the wall from their home somewhere in the roof) among numerous ant carcasses. By day 3 there were no live ants. Great product! Highly recommended.

Guy Vickers

We had an increasing number of ants in our kitchen and soon it became hundreds. We tried product from a hardware store, then ant sand from the supermarket, then home-made ant bait using recipes found on the internet, none of them worked. Then we tried Hawkeye ant paste and they loved it! The stick-on patches were easy to use and helped with dose rate. As the ants swarmed the stickers, we added more and after a few days all the ants were exterminated. Now we are prepared for any further invasions, amazing product and 100% successful. Very highly recommend this ant poison!

Josh Ward

I tried a few different brands before Hawkeye, the ants would just come back within a day or two but I’ve only used it once and haven’t seen an ant in 2 weeks now. Great product . Wish I bought it months ago

Cheryl Koit

It works. Got rid of an ant infestation from the exterior of my car within 3 days whereas another product I'd been using for a week seemed to have no effect.

Lyn Virtue

Excellent product, does the job really well.

Felicity Smith

Great product. Works really well. Courier takes far too long to get it to South Island though. Better to post.

Winston Cournane

Great product and fast delivery over holiday period.

marie mckelvie

Although expensive, this does the job very well. Found lots of dead ants just 8 hours after putting bait out! and still working well

John Hanna

We have found the Ant Gel very effective in killing off an ant nest in our ceiling and have reordered the gel for future use

Felicity Smith

No ants inside since we put strips on their highway and near where we think their hideout is. So far so good! Looks like it may well have dine the trick.

Michelle French

AMAZING product! My nest was in the ceiling and I knew where the ants were coming from so knew where to place the strips. Within seconds of applying the first strip the ants were on it and within minutes it was covered so I applied a 2nd strip. That quickly filled up with ants too so I added a 3rd. Within a couple of hours of applying the strips the ants were gone! It's been a few days now and no ants have returned. I've tried other ant bait but none have eliminated the nest like Hawkeye. I can't recommend this product highly enough! Buy some today!!

Patricia Dunlop

Wow this Ant Bait really works! No more ants in the kitchen. Couldn't find their tracks back to the nest though. Will now get the outdoor ant bait to put around the outside of the house to make sure they do not come back. Highly recommend this product and will let others know.
Very quick delivery. Thank you Hawkeye.
Patricia

Dean Harris

We had ants all through our kitchen and pantry, I put out three traps and an hour later the bait was covered in ants, then the next morning they were all gone and haven't come back - brilliant!

Kay Siriweera

I bought this product to eliminate black ants in my house. It took only about 2 days to completely stop them coming. Highly recommended product. I’m happy with the results.

Leone Redgwell

Excellent results, will only use this product from now on, other store bought ant killers didn’t work very well.. Thankyou,

Alan Cooke

Had about a 70% success rate with this product. I had an ants nest in the roof. So I progressed onto using Ant Spray.

belinda allen

Amazing ants where gone which in two days, am very happy with this product. Fully Recommend

Ellen Cook

Ants had just been walking past other bait but within an hour of putting out Hawkeye gel, they’d swarmed it and we haven’t seen another ant in the days since.

Olga Moule

I am giving the product a 5 star rating as the ants certainly responded BUT with the areas I need to treat I underestimated the amount I would need.
Are larger tubes available?

Tim Wilson

I used to use boric acid products that ended up splitting the colony
This stuff works...most likely why big box stores don't sell it... thanks Hawkeye

Chris Roberts

Good for certain applications and indoors but I suggest to buy the spray liquid. Makes alot and does the job!

Directions for use

Indoor Application:
For effective indoor use, strategically place the ant gel on the applicator strips provided, approximately 2-3 cm alongside the ant trails near cracks and crevices, along walls or use on floors. This close positioning creates a diversion, leading ants off the trail with the enticing bait scent. Once one ant feeds, others are likely to join. If the bait is entirely consumed but ant activity persists, reapply as necessary. Be mindful to avoid applying the gel on benchtops or surfaces used for food preparation, and keep it away from dishes to prevent contact with food. Exercise caution in areas accessible to pets and children. Rest assured, our ant gel ensures safety around humans and pets when applied following the product label instructions.

Outdoor Application:
Hawkeye Ant Bait proves effective outdoors, especially in dry areas. To heighten its effectiveness, consider pairing it with our specialized outdoor ant spray. Strategically place the bait near/along ant trails and in key outdoor locations, including behind or under equipment, appliances, tables, within furniture framing, and around rubbish bins where ants are present.
Maintain the ants' natural trailing behavior by applying the gel on marked areas of applicator strips alongside their trail. For larger outdoor infestations, position the strip applicators 3-5 inches apart in high-activity areas. For an added layer of protection, our outdoor ant spray, tailored for exteriors, creates a defensive barrier around rubbish bins and other outdoor spaces. This dual approach ensures a comprehensive strategy, effectively eliminating ants and nests outdoors, and creating a pest-free environment.

Tips to prevent an infestation of ants in your home:
Ensure an ant-free home by promptly cleaning benchtops and floors, sealing cracks and crevices to impede ant return, and storing food in airtight containers for effective prevention.

Frequently asked questions

What is the active ingredient?

Ant gel is made from 0.5% indoxacarb. Indoxacarb has a low mammalian toxicity and is one of the safer insecticide active ingredients available to use around people and pets. The product itself is no more toxic than table salt, but we still never recommend having it anywhere

Is Hawkeye Ant Gel suitable for controlling both outdoor and indoor ant infestations?

Yes, our Ant Gel can be applied indoors as well as outdoors, but only in outdoor areas the provide shelter. I.e a porch, veranda, car port, spa room etc. We do recommend that if you need to treat an ant nest outdoors and the trails you are treating are out in the open then you will need to use -Hawkeye Ant Spray. This product has additives to make it rain fast and UV protected so it will last in outdoor environmets for 4-6 months.

What should I do if ants do not feed on the bait?

It could just be down to the positioning of where the applicator strips have been placed with the bait on it. The best thing to do is move the strips to another location. Make sure to put them beside the trail and if this isn’t working, we recommend putting the strips across the trail.

How can I prevent ant infestations inside my home?

You need to make sure you keep plants that harbour sucking pests like aphids, mealy bugs and white flies trimmed and away from the walls of your house. These types of plant pests secrete honeydew attracting ants into the home and after a certain population level, they will move to the kitchen and areas in search of more food. We recommend treating the problem from the outside, that is especially important to help eliminate ants before they get into your home. Inspect your property on the outside and apply Hawkeye Ant Spray to the trails. If the Ants are already inside with high levels of infestation you may want to apply Hawkeye Far Spray for the heavier infestations. Keep areas clear of food waste, spills and bins fully closed.

How long will it take to notice a reduction of ants inside my home?

You should notice a reduction in numbers within 2-3 weeks for small to medium level infestations. Larger nests will take longer to treat. Let us know if you need more advice on application is problems persist.

How many nests will one 15g tube treat?

One single tube of Hawkeye Ant Gel will treat 2-3 small to medium sized ant nests. Larger nests will require more ant gel and you can also use the gel in combination Hawkeye Ant Spray to treat the outside trails coming in.

Technical Information

Hawkeye Ant Gel is a high-potency bait that requires significantly less bait to eliminate a whole nest than other commonly used Ant Baits ont he market. It kills ants effectively with an attractive sweet bait formulation that ants desire. Foraging ants feed on it and carry the bait back to the nest to feed the queen and other ants/juveniles via trophallaxis (food exchange between ants) causing the entire colony to be eliminated. The bait starts working in 5-6 hours and wipes a nest in a week

It is effective against a broad range of ants species including, white-footed ants, black house ants, and efficiently controls them indoors and outdoors.

The bait is consumed by the workers as well as taken back to the colony to be shared, providing a high kill rate, and eliminating the colony in a short period. The bait starts working in 5-6 hours and wipes a nest out in a week.

It is not usually necessary to empty kitchen cabinets or cover food preparation surfaces before applying Hawkeye Ant Gel. Always place the strips beside the ant trail and not in the middle of the trail to make it more convenient for them to take it back to the nest.

Always read the label and use as per directions - Ant Gel User Leaflet

Hawkeye Ant Gel contains 0.05% Indoxacarb (see sfaety data sheet in downloads for more information)
