Greetings from Syngenta

Dr. Tim Husen

Ants are consistently one of the top pests customers struggle with around their homes and properties. This is reflected in the number of ant accounts pest management professionals (PMPs) handle every year. In fact, according to PCT magazine’s 2024 State of the Ant Control Market report findings, 47% of surveyed PMPs saw an increase in ant infestations in their market area, and 53% expect to see increased revenue from ant control services in 2024.

In the face of this demand, PMPs have risen to the challenge of meeting the ant control needs of their customers. In support of your efforts, we’re proud to partner with PCT magazine to sponsor this year’s State of the Ant Control Market report. Through this survey, PMPs offered insights into their ant control challenges and successes, as well as thoughts on the future of the industry. We hope you find this report valuable and can use this information to help elevate your ant control offerings.

It’s important for PMPs to have a well-stocked toolbox to keep ants under control. Advion® MicroFlow insect bait, the latest ant control solution from Syngenta, helps PMPs reach deep into hard-to-reach cracks and crevices where ants nest or forage. This dry flowable bait has a finely milled formulation that sticks to ants’ cuticles, who carry it back to the nest for more complete control. Advion MicroFlow also perfectly complements other ant control products in the Syngenta portfolio.

Advion Ant and Optigard® Ant gel baits are industry leaders for superior ant control — and with good reason. They’re formulated for excellent palatability and are rigorously tested to provide effective, targeted control you and your customers can rely on. Additionally, Syngenta recently made a multimillion-dollar investment in its gel bait production facility to help overcome industry-wide supply chain challenges.

PMPs can further stock their ant control toolboxes with:

  • Advion WDG, Demand® CS, Optigard Flex and Tandem® insecticides: These residual spray formulations offer preventive control for super-colony ant species
  • Advion Insect granular bait: This highly palatable granular bait formulation is ideal for extended perimeter pest control beyond where a sprayable product can be applied

As you tackle tough ant infestations, we’ll continue to provide you with tools for success — so you can provide your customers with a life uninterrupted by ants.
