Insect infestations can happen in any home. They come from neighbors or we accidentally bring them into the apartment on clothes, shoes or with the usual purchase of vegetables and fruits. Absolute gel will help you get rid of cockroaches and ants in your home for a long time with the confidence that it will not harm pets and household members.
How to use Absolut-gel
To remove red apartment ants, gel is smeared on the substrate or squeezed out in a thin dotted line in the areas of appearance or path routes. The length of the applied stripes recommended by the manufacturer is 2 cm. If there is a large population of insects, the stripes are lengthened to 4 cm. The consumption of the product is 25 g (1 tube) per room of 50 square meters.
Treatment against garden ants is not limited to indoor areas. To protect the lower floors, terraces, verandas, the gel must be applied along the walls inside and outside the building.
The drug has a long-lasting effect and remains active for up to 1.5-2 months. Then re-processing is possible.
If you are uncomfortable with the consistency of the gel, we recommend that you look at other forms of preparations or order professional treatment of premises from insects.
Mode of application
Bait with an intestinal effect should be placed in areas where insect activity is observed. The range of its use is limited to two options: with the lid open, without the need to pour out the contents, or by spraying the drug onto the substrate in feeding areas or in places where insects accumulate.
In order to use the insecticide correctly, the following manipulations must be done:
- Open the package, which is hermetically sealed.
- Read the instructions carefully.
- Wear rubber or polyethylene gloves. This is necessary to protect the skin from direct contact with toxic substances.
- The bait is placed in predetermined locations (in the capsule or on the substrate).
- Remove gloves and dispose of them.
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap.
How safe is Absolut-gel?
In terms of the level of risk for the skin and mucous membranes, the drug belongs to class IV of compounds of insignificant danger (in the GOST classification).
A single exposure to the skin does not produce a sharp resorptive or irritating effect. Reactions are possible with repeated contact with the same area, or if the drug is not washed off the skin for a long time (several hours).
The insecticide "Absolut-gel" has certificates and is approved for the destruction of all types of ants in children's, sanatorium, medical, hotel, and food organizations.
When using the product, you should not allow the gel to come into contact with the skin and mucous membranes; if this happens, rinse off with a cold stream of water. After treatment, it is better to wash your hands with soap and water, throw away the tube and syringes. Keep unopened tubes out of the reach of children.
Product description
The main difference from conventional insecticides that have a negative effect on ants is the need for traditional means of direct contact. In this case, only 30 to 40% of ant individuals are destroyed. While the described product is completely harmless from an environmental point of view. It is ready for use and can ensure complete elimination of all insects over a period of 7 to 12 days. It looks like one blister attached to cardboard.
The effectiveness of this drug is due to a unique mechanism of action - according to the “epidemic” principle:
- Worker ants are attracted to the smell emanating from the bait.
- The bait is carried by the ants to the nest.
- In this way, the bait will reach all the inhabitants of the anthill, including the “queen,” which ultimately causes the reproduction of new generations of ants to stop and the entire colony dies.

Purpose
The main component included in the composition is chlorpyrifos; it is a poison of the reserve group, focused on a long period of decay. Pests readily eat this bait. This is achieved due to aromatic blende, attractive to insects, which is part of the product. So one infected individual turns into a carrier (reservoir) of the toxin. Returning to the nesting site, the pests die, while the poisoned ant becomes a hotbed that poisons the rest of the ant population.
Precautionary measures
Since the product is a chemical insecticide, you should follow the rules. The drug comes with instructions for use of Fas double. It is recommended not to violate it:
- Processing is carried out with open vents or windows in the room. There should be no strangers in it.
- Carefully close food and utensils and put them in a closet or take them to another place.
- The interior surfaces of cabinets where food and utensils are stored are not treated.
- Wet cleaning of all easily accessible surfaces is done 3-6 hours after treatment.
- If the area is large (over 50 square meters), it is necessary to use personal protective equipment: overalls or robe, headscarf, respirators. Protect the skin of your hands with gloves made of rubber. When treating a house or apartment, it is enough to wear a cotton-gauze bandage.
- After working with Fas Double, clothes should be shaken out and ventilated, and, if necessary, washed in a hot soap-soda solution.
- Observe general hygiene rules when working with the drug: do not drink or eat in the treated area. After completing the work, wash with soap and rinse your mouth with water.
- Do not store protective clothing at home or near food.

Characteristics of house ants
Residents of private houses and high-rise buildings know that red or house ants can be uninvited guests. Many people confuse them with their forest counterparts, but these are two different species. The domestic inhabitants are called pharaoh ants, as they were first discovered during excavations of the Egyptian pyramids. But their real homeland is India.
The two species differ in size. The length of forest dwellers ranges from 4 to 9 mm, while domestic ones barely reach 3 mm, they are lighter in color. In the harsh Russian climate, they cannot live outside heated areas, so they find housing in houses, apartments and any other premises, without giving up any organic food: crumbs, open food, strewn garbage.
House ants do not live in one colony, but create parallel nests in the corridor, bathroom, kitchen, and staircase. They eat separately. If one nest is destroyed, the rest of the colony remains unharmed, so when these guests appear in the house, prepare for a protracted war.
First aid for poisoning
Violation of the instructions for using the insecticide Fas double can lead to poisoning. What should you do in this case:
- Immediately remove the person to fresh air and remove contaminated clothing.
- If the dust gets on the skin, remove it with a cotton swab without rubbing, rinse with warm soapy water, then lubricate with a “Silicone” type cream.
- If the product gets into your eyes, rinse them immediately with plenty of water and apply eye drops.
- If it gets into the stomach, drink a weak solution of potassium permanganate until a gag reflex appears (3-4 glasses).
- In case of loss of consciousness, do not touch the person and immediately seek medical help.
