Which is the best barrier for me?

	Advantages	Disadvantages
Crystal Clear Escape Prevention Oil	Crystal Clear Appearance Long Lasting Cheap	Works with a wide range of Ants but less effective generally compared with PTFE or Fluon™. Some Ants can build up and stick dirt and debris which can reduce effectiveness. Can run down walls over time. Only recommended for horizontal applications.
Quick Dry PTFE Escape Prevention	Extremely effective against almost all types of ants and insects. Dries in less than 30 secs. Most recommended option for Plastic tubs / Glass	Strong white appearance. Not recommended for use on acrylic as can cause small fractures if applied to laser cut edges. Can generally be used fine if applied 2cm away from any edges or lips.

WHAT IS IT?

Fluon commonly used by entomologists for containing insects within their enclosures. The substance is non-toxic and is 100% safe to use with ants and other insects. It really is the best stuff for the job!

HOW TO USE

Shake bottle well before use. Using the supplied swab or cotton ball, spread a thin even coat all the way around the upper inner edges of your container or if possible the underside of the acrylic/glass sheet bordering the lid. Once dry (after approximately 1min), this area will become super slippery, making it very difficult for insects to pass over it without losing their grip and falling back down to the bottom. For maximum effectiveness, remove barrier and re-apply a fresh one every 3-6 months.

STORAGE

10/30/120ml may not seem like much, however, very little of the liquid needs to be applied per use. Meaning this small bottle will last a long time...if properly stored of course. Keep the bottle out of direct sunlight, make sure the lid is tightly screwed on, and shake the bottle once per month. This will prevent the liquid from becoming ineffective.
