Active substance
What makes Dohlox a killer drug for insects is the fipronil in its composition. It is well known in agriculture as a very dangerous pesticide for pests. It is also used in veterinary medicine to destroy parasites on the body of animals.
Fipronil belongs to the class of nerve poisons of intestinal and contact action. When it enters the body of ants, it causes a blockage in the passage of nerve impulses. We will not analyze this complex mechanism of action in detail; suffice it to say that very quickly the insect’s organs and systems begin to fail, paralysis and death occur.
And at the same time, fipronil is present in the drug in such quantities that it does not pose any danger to warm-blooded animals. While remaining a deadly poison for ants, it turns out to be harmless to humans and animals. And this is extremely important, especially when it comes to cleaning the kitchen where food is stored from pests.
Fipronil, which is part of Dohlox, makes the gel a killer drug for insects
Attractants are added to the active substance in large quantities, which are appetizing additives for insects, causing them an irresistible desire to try the bait.
Advantages of the drug
"Dohloks" has many advantages due to its composition and design. The most important of them:
- high efficiency;
- speed of action;
- ease of application;
- harmless to people and animals;
- efficiency;
- low cost.
Thanks to the presence of a syringe, Dohlox gel is consumed very economically
The thick structure of the gel greatly facilitates its application to surfaces - the product can stick and not run off even on vertical surfaces, which is another big advantage.

Time of action
Several hours pass from the start of setting traps and applying the gel to the physical death of the pests. As a rule, after 8 hours you will no longer see large numbers of ants walking freely on the windowsill and table. If traps are used, mass mortality begins already on the second day.
Fipronil has a prolonged effect, that is, the insect does not die immediately, but after a few hours. This is extremely important for fighting ants. The poisoned individuals will have time to return to the nest and there poison their fellows and, most importantly, the queen. Due to this, the entire population will be destroyed, and not just the worker ants. This is what makes Dohlox so attractive. It works for quite a long time - insects continue to die 4 days after baiting.

Security measures
When working with Dohlox-gel, it is advisable to use rubber gloves; after handling, wash your hands thoroughly with soap.
The product should be stored away from food and medicines, out of the reach of children and pets.
One of the most effective means for combating domestic parasites is Averfos. Reviews about the insecticide “Xulat C25” are only positive. Find out how to use this tool by reading our article.
Heiracanthium is the most poisonous spider on the entire European continent. You can find a description of this animal at the link.
Application rules
Applying the anti-ant agent is quite simple. Drops of gel are applied to various substrates (paper, cardboard, lids) and these baits are placed in places where ants like to wander in search of food.
Places to apply poison:
- ventilation shafts;
- pipe area;
- trash can placement area;
- windowsill;
- window frames;
- baseboard;
- cabinet surfaces.
For one square meter of area, 8-10 drops of Dohlox gel are required.
Traps can also be placed on ant trails.
8-10 drops of gel are required per square meter of area. One package is more than enough to treat an apartment.
To get rid of ants for sure, Dohlox can be reapplied after a week or two. Even if someone survived after the previous persecution, the remnants of the population will be destroyed.
Features of application
The Dohlox series preparations are produced in the form of easy-to-use gel concentrates. After preliminary wet cleaning, the gel composition is applied to the substrate or in a drip-dotted line in places where insects accumulate and move (jambs, cracks, baseboards, water pipe risers, back walls of furniture, etc.).
Features of the use of Dohlox preparations
The manufacturer recommends three types of treatments:
- The first treatment is the main, so-called “impact” treatment;
- Repeated treatment – 2-3 weeks after the main one;
- Preventive treatments are carried out on an ongoing basis, once a month.
The drug consumption rates for each treatment are indicated below.
In addition to gel preparations, so-called cockroach traps are in demand. These are plastic containers containing food bait with the addition of potent poisons. See below for varieties and dosages.

0 Allusik 07/22/2015 21:50 A wonderful remedy against ants. This year we just have some kind of ant invasion. They dug this up around the house. We bought this product and applied it not everywhere, but after a certain interval. Then the ants disappeared. And there was a path in the house, so we managed to get rid of them there too.

0 Snezhana 08/12/2017 12:46 We lived in a rented apartment with my sister, good thing it wasn’t ours.
Every morning there was a layer of ants about 0.5 millimeters thick in the water filter. According to neighbors, everyone in this house had the same problems. No one has yet managed to get them out. My sister and I bought Dohlox in a syringe. Firstly, the brand is common in stores, and secondly, a similar syringe has already been used only on cockroaches. It’s convenient to use, there’s no smell, and most importantly, it’s effective. I found their hidden habitat, and we anointed all the exits, there were much fewer of them. We didn’t experiment further, we just moved. Quote
Dohlox / Ant repellent Traps “Dohlox”, 6 pcs.
Does not work. The ants remained
Didn't help at all((
Useless thing. A cardboard box containing a “bait” that does not lure. Perhaps because there is some kind of hard piece of something there. Almost like concrete. I tried to soak some, but the ants still run past.
Does not help. Ants don't react to it at all
These traps are of no use.
Doesn't solve the problem at all. It's a pity to waste time waiting for a miracle.
Very cool thing. the ants disappeared.
Doesn't help against little red ants at all. They ignore these traps. I do not advise
Very well packaged
I have ordered 3 times already. all the ants disappeared. and from neighbors. Thank you!
doesn't work at all. complete bullshit. Don't buy, don't waste your money. ants run along it without noticing at all. they don't go inside at all
The goods did not reach me, they were lost during delivery. I'll try to re-order. Please do not take it into account in the redemption percentage
