Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait - 32 oz.

You'll love the results you see after using Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid with 1% DOT (Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate). Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid is less repellent than other products and is far more effective at eliminating both the workers and queens in active ant colonies. Use Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid indoors with an add-your-own-bait station (like the Ant Café or Ant & Roach Buffet or the Ant Pro Bait Station) to quickly eliminate foragers. Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid is currently the only bait out there that is specially formulated to allow dilution while retaining the same effectiveness, cutting the effective cost by up to 75% and making this product a great economical bait. Ants love Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid because it uses a special insect attractant that mimics honeydew and enhances bait acceptance by a variety of Protein Feeding Ants, Sweet Feeding Ants, and roaches.


How Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid Works:
The sweet honeydew attractant in Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid draws insects to forage. Once ingested, the active ingredient DOT begins a slow attack on the ant’s central nervous system that allows them to return to their nests after consuming the bait to pass along the DOT poisoning to their young and to the queen. When other food sources are removed, ants will continue feeding on Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid until they die.

To Use Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid:
1. Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid may be used at full strength for larger ants (like Carpenter or Fire), or diluted with distilled water or other food grade liquid 1:1 to make bait containing .5% active ingredient for smaller ants (Argentine, White-Footed, and Pharaoh)
2. Bait may be used in “Ant Café”, “Ant & Roach Buffet”, “KM AntPro”, or other similar bait stations.
3. When using bait stations, wash hands thoroughly before handling bait to remove any odors that may be repellent to ants, i.e. tobacco, garlic, strong chemicals/ cleaners etc.
4. Remove as many competing food sources as practical. Vacuum or sweep floors to remove crumbs, etc. Ants are attracted to and will feed on Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid until they die.
5. Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid is designed to work slowly, and sufficient bait should be made available for at least 14 days of continuous feeding.
6. Repeat placement of the bait until satisfactory control has been achieved.
7. Do not use sprays, foggers or any strong chemicals or cleaners near the bait containers or placements. This may contaminate the bait and cause the insects to cease feeding.

Indoor Treatment: Use Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid for the control of ants or German Cockroaches. Place bait station filled half-full with Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid on a horizontal surface near ant activity. Stations filled with Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid may be placed under food cabinets, sinks, stoves, refrigerators, food storage areas, attics, garages, basements, storage areas, closets, etc. Place bait stations on exterior windowsills and in doorways to help prevent entry of ants. Some bait stations may be designed to affixed to a wall, hung on pipes or branches, or placed on a flat surface

Outdoor Treatment: Place bait stations filled half-full with Gourmet Ant Bait Liquid on exterior window-sills and in doorways to help prevent entry.

For especially heavy or stubborn ant infestations, it is often effective to combine Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait with a gel bait such as Gourmet Ant Bait Gel or Maxforce Ant Killer Bait Gel. If you choose to combine two different kinds of baits, do not use more than one per bait station. Simply use a liquid formulation in some stations while placing the gel formulation in others. This gives finicky ants a variety of textures and baits to choose from. Due to the changing demands of the colony, it is common for foraging workers to also change their food sources.

    Excellent
  By Pam on May 26, 2010

  This works quickly and is very effective at getting rid of carpenter ants. The first year we had an invasion of carpenter ants.  They took about 2 to 3 weeks to get rid of. The second year in the spring I used the product right away, and the ants were not as many and were gone within a week.  This year only saw a couple of ants early Spring, still using the ant bait and haven't seen anymore, and it is almost the 1st of June. Great product.  Just make sure that it is in a safe area that pets & children cannot access.

    Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait
  By Donna on November 7, 2010

  It took awhile for the Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait to work. I have tried everything in the supermarket all summer long and nothing worked. I've tried borax, bay leaves, ant traps 3x's, nothing! It was very expensive to buy the bait and containers. But I now have no ant's.

  Started using 3 years ago. Just now using end of 4 bottles. No problem with ants since first year. Just setting bait in traps in case. We are ordering more this 4th year just to be sure they are at bay. Wouldn't use anything else. No problem to animals that we see. Thanks for the great "stuff".

    Absolutely Amazing Product
  By Frank on July 4, 2011
  Verified Purchase

  This is really supposed to be used outside - so you're not inviting the ants in to dinner. However, ants were already inside in large numbers having found an old candy cane under some papers that I didn't know was there. I used a small storage container cap, put a torn piece of a napkin from it to the counter as a bridge so the ants could get in easily; the napkin's capillary action soon brought the fluid over the top edge of the cap. Soon they were lined up - the top of the napkin looked like a bar with dozens of ants bellied up to it side-by-side; the under side had a crowd, too. The number of ants drinking and coming and going was amazing. I put another in a bathroom that was also troubled by ants. The standard long lines of Argentine ants coming and going were soon looking like a well traveled 4 lane highway. Within 8 hours I had no more ants and have not seen one since - 3 weeks now. I also used feeders and this bait outdoors - and they received it well there, too... for days. Now, I just don't see many ants anywhere at all. Used in combination with Maxforce Ant Bait Granular.

  So far, it appears to be working well. Ants were attracted to the bait stations right away. I have seen less ants this year as compared to last year without any bait stations. I will give it another month to see if this bait will keep the ants away.

•   It works
  By Sharon on May 12, 2013

  I bought two quarts of this last summer to use with the ant bait stations and in less than a week, the tiny ants that had invated my house were gone. I had tried numerous other products that called for baiting at the trouble spot and that simply attracted more inside my home. This year, I didn't wait to see them and began loading addtional stations in early spring. I got the case because I did not want to run out mid-summer and I now have 8 bait stations around my home. No ants are to be found. It was an easy, safe way to get rid of a pesky problem. I normally won't go out of my way to kill insects, but when they invade my home, I want them gone. Best of all, I don't have to worry about harming other animals, including my cats.

  Used in bait stations around the perimeter of my home to help eliminate an ant problem I've had problems with. Used a granular bait & this to appeal to sweet feeding ants. Worked well in the situation i used it in.

  The ant bait is doing the trick. I like the product so far, it tends to not dry out as fast as the liquid ones I have purchased before and way more for the money. Thank you

  I haven't seen any ants since I did two applications of Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait. So it is either a co-incidence or it works.

  So far, after 3 weeks, no ants in the house. Since that is my goal, I have to give the product 5 Stars. There also seem to be fewer ants outside.

•   Best ant product
  By Michael on May 7, 2012

  My house had carpenter ants in every room. This product with the green mushroom dispensers did the trick. Spraying with other products only stopped them for a short time. It took a few weeks but when the ants take this product back to the hidden colony, the queen is killed and all the ants are dead. Carpenter ants are horrible and very difficult to get rid of. I ordered one more just now as a precaution! I just ordered another Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait as a precaution.

•   best ant control in the world
  By Beverly on April 13, 2012

  I live in a mature oak forest with lots of downed wood. One year I had a lot of big black carpenter ants on the decks and in my house. I called regular bug control people and they wanted me to go on a yearly contract of inside and outside spray programs saying I would always have trouble with ants..I did some research and came across this product and the little green space ship outdoor baits. I talked to the developer of the system and I said how will I know this works and he said you won't see any more ants. This was like 5 years ago and my ant situation is under control. Last year..I came home to find a black circle of ants on my board and batton pine siding..about a yard in diameter half way up the 1 1/2 story home. They must have been from the woods and looking for a new nest.. When they saw me looking at them they went under the siding..I freaked!! this was early spring and I had not put out my green bait stations yet..I got control of myself and put the stations out and after that..some ants must have found the stations because I never saw them again..inside or outside the home, the queen must have gotten her dose.. This stuff is working for me and its the only way to control those little beasties! thank you gourmet liquid ant bait.
