Also registered for application to commercial turf farms, parks, recreational areas, golf courses, bowling greens, sports fields etc.
SAS PRO is manufactured in Australia. Our high grade quartz silica is sourced from Perth. It is graded, washed and dried before shipping to the Sundew manufacturing plant in Melbourne. Our buckets, lids and shaker packs are supplied by local injection moulding suppliers in Melbourne. The labels on the buckets are printed by local suppliers using renewable Australian resources. SAS PRO is then blended using a proprietary 3 stage process involving sticking agents (similar to glue used on Post-It-Notes) being applied to the granules before the fipronil is electro statically applied to the quartz carrier and then dried. The final product is then filled and assembled in Melbourne before being dispatched nationally. During the manufacturing process our high quality silica is moved and packed off under a vacuum to remove all fine particles that could cause an inhalation hazard. This is a special 3 stage wash and vacuum process to remove fine particles and bring you the highest quality commercially available product.

Brand: Sundew
Type: Granular Insecticide
Active Ingredient: 0.25g/kg Fipronil
Mixing Rate: Ready-To-Use
Application Rate: 0.75-1.5kg / 100m2
Size: 1kg, 10kg
Residual Period:
SAS PRO contains fipronil at 0.25 g/kg and is designed to provide extended residual control of ants in turf situations. Under typical conditions, you can expect residual activity in the lawn for approximately 8–12 weeks, depending on rainfall, irrigation, UV exposure, and mowing frequency.
With respect to animals and lawn clippings:
- Animals should not be permitted to graze on treated areas for 12 weeks following application.
- Lawn clippings from treated areas should not be fed to animals during this 12-week period.
- Clippings may be composted; however, we recommend allowing several irrigation cycles and mowing events before collecting clippings for composting, and ensuring the composting process is complete before use.
- As always, the product must be applied strictly in accordance with the label directions.
Application best practice:
- In areas with a higher density of active nests, it is advisable to apply product toward the upper end of the label rate to account for the greater ant biomass.
- In areas with lighter activity, the lower end of the label rate is generally sufficient.
- Apply evenly across the treatment area, paying particular attention to nest entrances and active foraging zones.
- Do not apply if heavy rain is imminent, as excessive rainfall shortly after application may reduce effectiveness through displacement or runoff.
- Avoid mowing immediately after application; allow time for granules to settle into the turf surface.
