Rockwell Labs: InTice Gelanimo Ant Bait

IMAGE: ROCKWELL LABS

InTice Gelanimo Ant Bait uses a 3 percent borax formula and features patented “rigid hydro-gel” technology for no spills and no mess. The high-moisture content of the bait has a consistency similar to gelatin that will not become sticky or gooey, and remains solid up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Multiple ants can feed at once on the Gelanimo surface without drowning, enabling them to cut and carry pieces of the bait back to the nest site.

The 0.25-ounce small station features an easy-to-remove sticker covering the access hole and a low-profile design, allowing for quick, hassle-free placement in out-of-the-way locations. The larger, 4-ounce cup can be used for long-term control of heavy outdoor infestations, and is designed to be used with InTice Border Patrol Stations.

Gelanimo is a Green Zone product, suitable for all service programs, including green ones. Gelanimo can be used indoors, including food areas, and outdoors. It is packaged in boxes of 30 (0.25-ounce stations), 12 (4-ounce cups), and five (35-gram syringes).

About Kness Pest Defense

Per company history, the Ketch-All was invented by a young, widowed father of six, Austin Enos “Brick” Kness, in 1924. Mice were prevalent at the high school in which Kness was a custodian, and led him to the idea of the “box” trap. Kness, a Pest Management Professional Hall of Famer (Class of 2024), built the first trap from a square oilcan, a Tuxedo Tobacco can, a spring from a curtain rod, and the wood base of a crate. The first night he set his trap, he captured five mice.

He was elated and showed the teachers and his friends. He was encouraged to build others for his friends and to seek a patent. By 1927, Kness Mfg. Co. was formed to produce the KetchAll Automatic Mousetrap and another of Kness’ inventions, the RotoBow tree saw.

US Pest Index records below-average January growth

The William Blair/PCO Bookkeepers and M&A Specialists total U.S. Pest Index increased 9 percent year-over-year in January 2026, below the long-term average index growth rate of 10 percent.

“The slightly below-average result in January is likely due to disruptive weather patterns, including several major storms across the Eastern and Southern regions of the United States,” says William Blair Equity Researcher Tim Mulrooney. “The residential, commercial and termite indices decelerated in January.”

Dan Gordon, managing member of PCO Bookkeepers & M&A Specialists, adds, “Even in a weather-impacted month, the industry continued to grow well above the broader pest control market’s long-term 5 to 6 percent compound annual rate. Overall, the data suggest the fundamentals remain strong, and as weather normalizes, we would expect growth trends to revert closer to historical averages.”

The month’s results by segment include:

• The Residential Pest Index increased 13 percent year-over-year.
• The Commercial Pest Index increased 6 percent year-over-year.
• The Termite Index increased 6 percent year-over-year.
• The Bed Bug Index decreased 11 percent year-over-year.
• The Mosquito Index increased 15 percent year-over-year.

About the William Blair/PCO Bookkeepers & M&A Specialists Pest Index

The William Blair/PCO Bookkeepers & M&A Specialists Pest Index tracks the monthly performance of 146 privately held pest control companies across 38 states with combined annual 2025 revenue of $583 million. The purpose of the report is to track the monthly performance of several U.S. pest markets. It does not include residential door-to-door companies.
