Target the toughest ant challenges hidden nests, trail persistence, food contamination, rapid colony spread, and recurring infestations with Resylica® Technology, engineered for precise, reliable, long-lasting control.
Ants are among the most successful and widespread insects on Earth, with more than 14,000 identified species worldwide, and thousands more yet to be described. Among these, black ants and red ants are the most common nuisance species found in residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
Ants are highly social insects that live in organized colonies consisting of queens, workers, and brood. They communicate through chemical pheromones, allowing workers to establish trails to food and water sources. Once a food source is discovered, hundreds or even thousands of ants can quickly invade an area, making infestations difficult to control.
The global market grew from USD 943 million in 2021 to USD 1,160 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1,755 million by 2033, registering a CAGR of 5.31%. North America and Europe show steady growth with CAGRs of 4.61% and 4.84%, respectively, while the Asia Pacific region is expected to expand at the fastest rate (6.16%), driven by rapid urbanization and increased demand. South America also demonstrates moderate growth with a CAGR of 5.77%, reflecting rising market penetration across emerging economies
Although ants may appear harmless, large infestations can create significant hygiene, structural, and operational problems.
Black ants commonly invade homes, restaurants, offices, hospitals, warehouses, and food-processing facilities in search of food and water. They contaminate food preparation areas, stored food products, and kitchen surfaces by travelling through drains, garbage areas, and contaminated environments.
Red ants are often more aggressive and many species are capable of delivering painful bites or stings, causing irritation and allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Outdoor colonies may also damage lawns, gardens, landscaping, and recreational areas, while indoor infestations can spread rapidly through walls, electrical conduits, and structural voids.
Because ants continuously establish new foraging trails and colonies, infestations can quickly become persistent if not effectively controlled.
Traditional insecticide sprays often eliminate only the ants that are visible during application, while the majority of the colony remains protected inside wall voids, soil, cracks, crevices, beneath flooring, or within structural cavities.
Their ability to nest in concealed locations and rapidly relocate colonies makes complete elimination difficult using conventional surface treatments alone.
This is where Resylica® Technology provides a significant advantage.
Resylica® Technology controls ants through an advanced physical mode of action. When a droplet of solodrop® falls onto an ant’s body, its ultra-low surface tension enables the formulation to spread instantly across the insect’s cuticle, forming a thin, continuous film that completely wets the body surface.
The formulation rapidly migrates towards the ant’s spiracles the microscopic respiratory openings located along the sides of its body. Owing to its exceptional spreading ability, the formulation enters these respiratory openings quickly, before the insect can effectively limit exposure through its natural protective responses.
Once inside, the formulation floods the tracheal (respiratory) system, disrupting normal airflow and preventing efficient oxygen exchange. As respiration is interrupted, the ant experiences respiratory distress, followed by suffocation, physiological shock, immobilization, and ultimately death.
In addition to its rapid physical action, the ultra-low surface tension enables solodrop® to penetrate deep into ant trails, nesting sites, cracks, crevices, wall voids, soil entry points, and structural gaps, helping to reach hidden ant populations that conventional treatments often fail to contact.
Resylica® Technology acts through an advanced physical mode of action. Upon direct contact, the formulation rapidly spreads over the ant's body, initiating fast respiratory disruption and providing effective control within a short period.
Its ultra-low surface tension allows every droplet to spread instantly across the ant's waxy cuticle, ensuring maximum body coverage rather than remaining as isolated droplets. This increases the efficiency of contact with the insect.
The formulation quickly reaches and enters the ant's spiracles, where it floods the tracheal (respiratory) system. By disrupting normal oxygen exchange, solodrop® causes suffocation, physiological shock, immobilization, and ultimately death.
Ants travel through narrow cracks, wall voids, structural joints, and concealed pathways. The ultra-low surface tension enables the formulation to flow into these difficult-to-reach areas, increasing the likelihood of contact with hidden ants along their foraging routes.
Rather than controlling only visible worker ants, the formulation penetrates into areas where ants nest, forage, and shelter, helping to target hidden populations that sustain the infestation.
The formulation forms a thin, continuous film over treated surfaces, providing enhanced coverage and improving the probability of direct contact with crawling ants.
Solodrop® is suitable for controlling black ants and red ants in homes, apartments, offices, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, warehouses, food-processing facilities, and other commercial or industrial environments where ant infestations are common.
By combining ultra-low surface tension, deep penetration, and an advanced physical mode of action, solodrop® delivers a smarter and more effective solution for controlling both visible ants and concealed infestations.
