ONE FPP
DX3 Mierengel

The product DX3 ant gel from ONE FFP is an ant gel that can be used to control ants indoors and outdoors.
According to the seller, the gel ensures the reliable disappearance of the animals.
Two to three drops of the gel applied to the desired area are usually sufficient to ensure the ants disappear.
The seller points out that the ant gel should not be used in direct sunlight or near heat sources such as radiator pipes.
The ant gel was used in a practical test on a spot on the patio where many ants had accumulated. A significant reduction in the number of ants was observed within the first two days.
It would be desirable for the instructions for use of the product to be supplemented with German and English in future, as this would make it much easier to use.

  • Fights ants
  • 2-3 drops are sufficient
  • Fast effectiveness
  • Instructions for use not in German or English

The test

General information

We took a close look at the product and tested it in practice. In the following, we take a closer look at the features and impressions. From the packaging, materials and quality to the range of functions and handling, the product is subjected to our test procedure.

To give you a quick overview, we work with a points system. The maximum achievable score per area is 100 points. The final overall score is calculated from the average of all tested features, taking into account the respective weighting.

The first impression

Packaging and contents

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

This product was delivered in a shipping bag that was well adapted to the size of the product packaging.

With regard to the product packaging, it should be noted that the ant gel is delivered shrink-wrapped in plastic. However, there are no deductions here, as this type of packaging is necessary for an ant poison in order to ensure appropriate environmental protection .

The product only contains the ant poison – this can be used immediately after unpacking without any restrictions .

The instructions for use are printed on the back of the packaging. It is noticeable that they are printed in Dutch, Belgian or French, but not in English or German. In future, it would be necessary to at least add the English language to the instructions.

After unpacking the ant gel, you will immediately notice that it is very tightly sealed. This ensures adequate safety, as there are potentially environmentally hazardous substances inside the product – the back of the product indicates this with the corresponding warning symbol.
The product itself is robust and stable and there is no risk of the ant gel leaking . It is designed in such a way that it is immediately recognisable for what purpose it can be used.
In terms of sustainability, the seller does not provide any further information – however, it is advisable to use the product as sparingly as possible and the fact that only 2-3 drops of the gel are needed when using it is definitely positive.

In terms of effectiveness, the ant gel was convincing. The number of ants was significantly reduced after just two days of use .
Even after exposure to water, the efficacy was still quite good , so you could add another 1-2 drops if necessary.
If you smell the poison carefully, you will notice that it is relatively odourless and does not give off any unpleasant smell.
The application itself proved to be very simple in the practical test . After opening the product, only two to three drops need to be applied to the desired area to start the treatment.
Overall, the product left a positive impression in the practical test and was particularly convincing with its uncomplicated handling and effectiveness.

*Themaximum score is 100 points

At the time of testing, the product was not yet listed on Amazon. There are therefore no relevant reviews, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.

Prices of up to €29.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €7.99 . The product DX3 Mierengel from ONE FFP is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €9.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
