Customer Reviews for Advance 375A Select Granular Ant Bait

Had the Maxforce (sweet) bait and Advance 375A. The ants definitely were in the mood for some protein. Put near ant trails and the trails disappeared over night. Use bait for about a week(It was dry outside). Then sprayed my foundation with Termidor SC. Ant population greatly reduced around my house. I don't see trails or groups of ants any more. Just rogues every once in a while and they could be on their way to meet their maker.

I used a bit of the Maxforce FC Gel bait along with this stuff, but the carpenter ants mostly turned their noses up at it. I guess they were in a protein mode. Some of the little dirt ants went after the Maxforce, but I didn't really want to harm them so I stopped applying the gel. This stuff, however... I put down a lot of it(1/2 of a bottle!), and every single grain was scarfed up - by the ants in my house, and perhaps by the entire network. There was a line of the smaller carpenter workers running out to the pile of this stuff I'd dumped, and rushing back with it. 4-5 days later, I see hundreds of carpenter ants dead or dying on my living room floor. Nothing else has done that - not even trying to crank a duster bulb full of Delta Dust into the soffet vents of my house(the nest being up in the cathedral ceiling). No more activity - no sawdust or insulation fragments on my sofa for the last 3 weeks. This stuff saved me the trouble of getting up on a ladder and trying to pump Delta Dust into a hole high up on my cathedral ceiling woodwork. Instead, these hard working little dudes carried the poison up there for me, no ladder necessary. In addition, I used to see a lot of large-ish ants(probably all carpenter) all over the yard and driveway. Nothing now. Not a single ant(except for the small dirt ants). I think this stuff nuked essentially the entire supercolony, not just the satellite nest in my house. Nothing around the house, the driveway, the patio... Nothing. Thanks, DoMyOwn and Advance!

Keep in mind this only works if you se carpenter ants You can't just put it down and wait for ants to find it it has to be an active trail. If you see ants in your house it's a myth your whole house is infested chances are you have a few colonies Outside and they are coming in for food. You do have to find the outdoor colonies for this to work I found them in and around mulch near the house and near some wood piles and a few tree stumps. You have to use granules out side And gel inside where you see them.use gel inside where you see them , then buy enough gel to go around house to put gel in every Crack or crevice in house . Just be ready to be freaked out when a few of them get in or one of them gets in put the gel near them I saw one in a picture window near mulch and tree stump then I went to store returned there had to be like 20 to 30 ants swarming the gel that night they were gone. You have to resist killing them so the gel will kill them selves. My only wish is that as soon as you put the gel down they'll smell it for anywhere then start eating it oppose to waiting when you see them, I guess no one invented that yet. We had a pest guy treat first year but we fired him cause all he did was spot treat

Recommended by a friend and worked within 10 days. Easy to dispense as well. Definitely worth trying.

I use this stuff all summer long around my foundation in an attempt to keep the carpenter ants at bay. It seems to work.

It is a bit difficult to get the granules out of the container even though there are two different dispensers on the lid. I've only had this set up for two days for so far no ants.

This bait works great. I used it with a gel bait inside of the station. A couple of days later no more ants.

I bought this product to destroy argentine ant colonies on our property. This product worked great on other insects in the yard but did a minimal job on the argentine ant colonies. It will chase the ants back for about 2 days, so I have found the best way to use it is to sprinkle in the area you plan to be in 12 hours prior. This will then give you about 2 days to work or play, etc. Before the ants begin to move back in. I sure hope that someone comes up wirh an effective treatment soon so that we can enjoy our backyard in the summer.

This is the second batch that I've purchased. Works great! Bought second batch to use @ mom's house. Total eradication is the result.

So to be clear I used the granular and the gel as recommended. Not sure which one worked better but I can tell you I don't have ants anymore. Well not alive anyway! Really easy to use just used the bait stations with gel on one side and granular on the other. I made up two stations where I had seen activity and the next day I started seeing dead ants. In a week I can't find any ants alive.

I am not a fan of killing harvester ants - they are considered beneficial ants and are not aggressive unless you stand in the middle of their pile... but sometimes you have to take care of things. And that time is when the harvesters invade our yard from the pasture. Nothing worked well until we tried Advance 375A. Sprinkle the protein tidbits around the colony and they immediately begin hauling the insecticide laced nuggets into the underground den. Ants begin dying within a day or two. Don't be stingy with the feed to be sure the queen has her share. Kill the queen and the ant colony will die over the course of a couple of weeks. Again, I want to confirm we do not like killing harvester ants except in our small yard. They can have the rest of the ranch.

Spread lightly and ants started to pick up almost immediately. Next day almost no ants.

This granular ant bait works very well outdoors in places where large numbers of little black ants are congregating -- along the edge of concrete decks, under flower pots, etc.

This stuff does the job. Works fast too. I sprinkled some of this on ant hills and other places around the outside of my house, and it was all gone a half hour later. Takes about three days to kill the colony, but no more ants!

This works great they eat and then bring it back to the nest and share, and that's all it takes. No more ants Works great.

I had 3 different points where a trail of tiny odiferous ants were leading into my house. At all three spots, I dropped a few tablespoons of this granular ant bait, and then watched. Amazingly, within minutes, different ants started picking up grains, and carrying it back to their nest. This went on for some time until, I only saw a few lost looking ants, just standing around like they were on drugs. But then, a week or so went by, and they were back again, with the conga line as long as it was in the beginning, but this time, they ignore the bait. Once bitten, twice shy. It seems this works for a while, fails to kill off the entire colony, and then they wise up to it and avoid it. Hopefully, there is another similar product that can provide the 2nd of the 1 - 2 punch.

Seemed to work better on pavement ants than most products I have tried. It did not work near as well on fire ants. Bottom line: I will use Extinguish for fire ants and the Advance 375A for the pavement ants.

Great product, however I have ants behind the back splash in the kitchen and it is proving a challenge to kill them. I even routinely spray with bifen and tarus sc in the soil outside. And suspend for indoors. So all in all great and happy with product.

a granular bait that works miracles. I sprinkled this outside along the cracks and crevices where established ant trails were very active. I had read reviews that some customers who bought this stuff actually saw the ants pick up the granules and I absolutely thought these people are out of their minds, until I saw it with my own eyes! It was very entertaining until about 3 or 4 days went by and I couldn't see a single ant, wow! Blown away with product, I'm going to purchase another bottle soon as a backup.

Used this products with Maxforce bait and the combination on them together got rid of my ants in a couple of days, I mean gone!

We applied this “sweet” liquid bait - along with the separate protein granules in nearby spots - at the entry to the gangplank leading out to our deck and the ants were “on it” (both baits)within, literally, seconds! Couple days later, no more carpenter ants. What they say about there being multiple colonies is true though as we are noticing ants in other areas around the acre and a half we're on so, we have plenty left to treat those areas also

Was this review helpful to you?  YesNo

Good stuff. It works simple as that. Ants DOA! I applied and used as directed, very simple and easy to use. With plenty left over to help my neighbor.

Unsure how effective this was as my little black ant population prefered the Advion gel. I did see some ants carry off some of this bait, but the sweet gel was the most popular especially as they were used together most times.

Top notch product and top notch service. I received it a day before I was expecting. As soon as I applied the product the ants took it away. Next day I only saw a few ants and by third day ...No more ants. Two weeks later and still no ants. I did reapply after two days but not much was taken away. Super satisfied.

I was having a real issue getting rid of Pharaoh Ants in the house. They were popping up everywhere, sockets, cabinets etc... once I spread this around they came to feast! 3 days later not one ant! It WORKS!

I use it with Terro liquid ant bait, and i always get the desired results. The ants start carrying it away immediately. I recommend this product highly (exterminator, pest company owner, 30yrs exp.)
