Talon Ant Killer Gel

Very effective against small black ants - but the effect is not permanent – After trying a few different pesticides this is the one I've stuck with, because it works. A big backyard that backs onto bush means ants are always a problem in summer. Whenever they start showing up in the house I use a couple of tubes of this along their trails and they stop being a problem in a few days. They do come back eventually, so the… Read more

gel is a control measure, not a permanent solution, but as a control measure it does the job.

Good:

Attracts ants instantly. Can divert them from coming into the house if applied at the right spot. Knocks out major ant activity in a few days. Takes awhile for ants to come back once you've used it.

Bad:

Seems less effective on larger ants, works best on ants that come into your house. Seems to lose effectiveness overnight when used outside. If you have a lot of ants you may need more than one tube to reapply the next day (see above). On the pricey side, especially for something that gets used up fast.

Amazing results overnight – My car was riddled with ants To me they were brown and black small ants Not inside car though So lucky there We’re everywhere I mean everywhere So nest was in the car somewhere Car lives outside And doesn’t get driven everyday Could not find the trail from garden But sprayed around with outdoor ant killer and sprayed ants with Moretin.

morning back 5 times worse Got 2 tubes of the talon ant gel Used both tubes with small blobs everywhere could get to In wheel wells,around taillights,under side skirts,in door jambs They were attracted to it instantly Every ant I should have taken pics Thousands of them over every blob Just checked this morning After one night And only could see a few stragglers Basically no ants Can’t believe it Whether they have gone back to nest and killed queen im not sure But will give it a wash and a good pest spray all underneath And hit it again tonite But I am thrilled Yes $16 for 2 tubes is pricey But it’s worked So I’m stoked Got it at Woolies Definitely recommend

Best on the market – I was nearly in tears with frustration every single day since the warm weather started as the endless parade of ants marched in just about every room in my house. I have wasted so much money on both chemicals and using natural solutions to no avail. Baiting, spraying, granules it just never worked and the ants always laughed their way back to the… Read more

nest with any treasures they could find.

On a last ditch effort (before nuking the house) I once again sifted through the net and stumbled upon the Talon reviews. I use this site every time I make expensive purchases (1000 stars to you!!!...easiest research method ever!). From what I read I thought why not? I had tried everything else. I purchased Talon on Friday and by Saturday evening 98% of my annoying visitors were no more!

I didn't expect to get rid of all of them (some reside in a bedroom still). However I am counting it as a huge win. I agree with those that mentioned that Selleys needs to make the size bigger (please, please, please!) My kitchen and bathrooms have intruders no more! Very impressed. Super product. Thanks Selleys!

Go to any control – I live in a bus and ants when they invade hide behind walls and under the floor. This was recommended and I put it on the ant trail and what was a few visible ants turned into lots in several different locations in the bus all feeding on the gel. The next day all gone. I have used when I see them crawling on the outside panels as well. Ants are no… Read more

longer a worry as I know 1 treatment will clear the ants by the next day. Only a small amount is required to be effective .

Have only used once and so far, so good – I live in a caravan and had been lucky until a few days ago when they decided they would take over the van. tried a surface spray, that didn't work, so tried Talon this morning. The ants swarmed it for a while, then disappeared. So all good so far. Show details

Best ant killer ever, also make a great cockroach gel that kills the German ones in a day or two – It’s currently killing our carpenter ants who are dropping out of the ceiling in their hundreds over the past 3 days, either dead or dying Show details

Talon ant killer a waste of money – Useless product. Ants have a look and walk around without eating and paste lasts forever. Put a line of Yates ant and nest killer beside this product and soon black with ants and next day the ants are gone.

Absolute waste of money – Useless. Ants walked all over it and for the amount you get outrageously expensive. Suggest manufacturer increases the dosage of active ingredient by 10 and see if that works.

Didn’t work at all – Didn’t work at all for black ants in the kitchen. I tried it for 4 days and the ants don’t go anywhere near it. Surprising as this product has good reviews Show details

We'd been using various commercial as well as home-made ant baits for years but it's always been a lackluster effect. Our roof cavity with all its insulation is the ideal dry and warm spot for ant nest building. Found this product a couple of years ago and reluctantly gave it a try (the price was a bit of an issue). The ants in our area thrive on… Read more

sweet foods, so they were instantly attracted to the bait ... pushing each other out of the way to get to it. Could not believe the results ... they just vanished almost overnight. We started using it not just in the house, but the garden as well to keep them as far from the house as possible.

It works and it works well ... so the exorbitant cost (works out at $2,000/kg) was justifiable. However, it is important to note that, just like garden weeds, it's not a forever solution. The colony dies off but ants from the surrounding areas in the neighbourhood do eventually notice the "Vacancy" sign and will move in. It's a matter of then killing them off before they start bringing in the good china again.

It's Fantastic sadly our local Woolworths have stopped selling it, for those who are saying it dosnt work, it WON'T work on Protein ants, they'll completely ignore it as it is not meat/fats or dead insects, it will however work on House/Black sugar ants which prefer food, fruit, sugar related products, know you ant first..... Show details

Worked really well. I had two ant colonies, one running into the house soffits and one under the house. Each colony were a different sized (assuming different kind of ant). Applied half of the syringe for the path where each of the colony were. Applied it in the afternoon and next morning, no signs of ants. It’s been a week and nothing has come back. Show details

finally found something that works! – I've always had problems with ants finding the cat's dry food. I've tried different solutions, including ant dust around the container, Ant-Rid, and Power Guard spray. It seems that Talon is the only effective solution so far! Show details

Did a great job – Never had ants inside and last week they appeared in the pantry. Came across the Talon ant get when doing a grocery shop at Woolies. Applied a few dobs in the cupboard in mid morning. As I expected a bit more ant activity appeared by by evening much less and by next morning all gone with just a dead ants about to clear away. Great product. Show details

Recommend by Pest control company – During my annual termite inspection , the pest control technician mentioned that we had quite a few black ants on our property, which I had noticed and they were very annoying His advice buy Talon ant killer form Woolworths. I purchased it - it was on special for $8 And yes it works just squeeze some gel on the ants trail and after a few hours they are gone. Very effective I recommend this product Back to woolies to stock up Show details

Highly effective and versatile – This gel is the perfect solution for a particular type of small black ant (other ants seem not to be attracted to it). It gets rid of ants in a short time. I have also used it on trees and shrubs that have lots of ants tending to scale insects and aphids. Just squirt a few bits along their trail on trunks and branches and next day the ants are gone. It's better than spraying the entire plant. Show details

Really works – We had a huge German roach problem I read good reviews went to Coles and got some and straight away it worked I found the main problem was behind the fridge so put lots there as well as other places and made sure no food crumbs around We no longer have a problem Show details

Absolutely magic – I could not rid of ants for over 15 years. Whatever I have tried it did not work. It was on clearance at Coles for 0.99c and I decided to try this product. OMG, it was a huge surprise! 2 tubes of Talon Ant Killer (only 10g) and the ants disappeared. I only noticed a few of them back again in a few months time. I have left 1 tube of gel. Hopefully after this one they will go away for sure. Show details

Best Ant Killer gel – This product is amazing, as it is a gel it will stick to the walls or roof (as in my caravan roof). Just a little bit goes a long way and they take it back to their nest and just don't come back. Show details

Doesn't seem to work on bull ants – I have put 2 tubes of this down next to a newly found bull ant next, and after a week, they are still there. So i guess it doesn't work well for them. Show details

Best Ant Killer I Have Used – Over many many years I have tried lots of different products to kill ants. This one works for me. Very easy to use. Having trouble finding it at the moment but when I do I'll be stocking up. Show details

Instant effect – Talon ant killer gen is probably the best ant killer I've ever bought. It's available in supermarkets so it's easy to acquire, it works indoor and outdoors, the effect is instant, it seem to have been formulated to attract ants immediately wherever dispensed (vertical or horizontal or other terrain), as long as it's on the trial of ant activity.… Read more

Over time (several hours), ant activity will disappear, not sure if they can bring it back to nest and kill the queen(s). There may be cluster of ants get-together, by observation they seem to be poisoned waiting to die.

$8 for 5g, 1 day use seems to be quite expensive insecticide, may be I am below poverty line...

Works better than I'd imagined! – Just purchased this, within a minute literally of applying, swarms of black ants surrounded each bit of gel. Hoping this will eliminate the nest. Super easy to apply, not messy at all. Show details

Brilliant Product – I’ve used this product in two different homes now, and have achieved outstanding results on both occasions. The gel has just wiped out a huge infestation of black ants in around 48 hrs. This is an amazing product.  Show details

Didn't work on black garden ants – Purchased Talon Ant Killer gel from Coles three weeks ago and applied the gel at various locations where ants were entering the house and close to the ant nest entry points. as per the instructions provided. The gel was not in direct sunlight and protected from the weather. Unfortunately the ants ignored the gel all together and it remained where… Read more

I placed it for nearly a week until it deteriorated. ANTS one TALON GEL Nil. Product batch number was FMB0A14004 purchased mid April 2021

was skeptical at first... but – massive ants outside the house in many locations. followed the instructions and found it worked great! the letterbox required another 2 applications before ants gone completely. turns out the main nest was inside the hollow brickwork of the nest. aha! Show details

This one really works! – I did try quite few things and was really happy to find that Talon Ant Killer Gel does work. The ants simply can't help themselves to eat the gel, and it's fast acting as well, I can definitely see significant improvement the next day. Show details

Finally found one that works – We have had a major ant problem for a few years and have even had Rentokil treat the walls as they had moved into the wall cavities. I have tried Ant Rid and other products but the ants ignored it or even moved the dry crystals out the way. They actually seem attracted to the Talon and crowd round it, its been a few days and I notice the ant run is lessening. Would definitely recommend giving this a go.  Show details

Best I have found for black ants – Easy to use and effective when used as per directions. I have only had success with black ants where it worked perfectly. Not useful for brown ants. I am still looking for something that does work with brown ants. Show details
