Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel

Maxforce Ant Bait Gel is effective against Argentine, Odorous House, Ghost, Pavement, Cornfield, and Little Black Ants. Ants will carry the bait back to the nest and destroy the colony.

Maxforce Ant Killer Bait Gel, with Fipronil, takes advantage of the natural behavior of ants. Foraging worker ants are attracted to the sweet formula of the bait. After consuming the bait the foraging ants will return to the nest and share the bait with the rest of the colony, including the queen(s) in what is known as the Maxforce Domino Effect effectively eliminating the colony. Maxforce Ant Killer Bait Gel offers a long term ant solution in a convenient easy to use application that begins to work in as little as six hours.

 

DESCRIPTION: Maxforce Ant Bait Gel is effective against Argentine, Odorous House, Ghost, Pavement, and Little Black Ants. Ants will carry the bait back to the nest and destroy the colony. You will see fewer ants in 3-5 days. Maxforce Ant Gel provides for the sugar feeding needs of ants. If the ants are foraging for protein as well, it is recommended that a protein-based bait be used in conjunction with the gel bait. Box of 4/ 27 gram tubes.

USE: Place small pea-size amounts near areas where ants trail or forage, or where they are entering the structure. The gel can be applied in cracks and crevices, on pipes, behind appliances, along baseboards, etc. Can be used both inside and outside. Be careful of children and pets. DO NOT apply residual insecticides or sprays near baits as this will prevent ants from taking the bait. Reapply gel as needed. Always read the label.

How do I apply Maxforce Ant Killer Bait Gel?

 

To apply, first shake the gel tube vigorously. Due to the high-moisture content, it is normal during storage for the syringe to contain a couple of grams of liquid. Simply shake the syringe before use to help even out the consistency. (During the summer months the gel may become more watery than normal, in which case you should place the tube in a refrigerator for 24 hours.)

 

Next, remove the cap and depress the plunger. If necessary, during the first few placements simply pull back slightly on the plunger to prevent over application.

Small pea sized placements should be made near ant trails or near areas where ants have been observed to forage.

 

Usually 3 placements will be sufficient for an average sized room with a light to moderate infestation, use more for larger areas or heavy infestations. Bait will remain effective for up to two weeks.

 

***NOTE-Do not disturb the natural behavior of trailing ants or foraging ants, placements should be made NEAR the ants not on them or in the middle of the trail. By disrupting their normal behavior, bait avoidance may occur.***

5 of 6 people found this review helpful:   It Worked!!! By Pam Reed on July 1, 2009 MaxForce FC Ant Bait Gel got rid of the tiny black ants that have plagued us for years! We tried every one of the products available from Lowes and The Home Depot - nothing worked, not even temporarily. We didn't want exterminators spraying the whole house, and they would only guarantee their treatment for a short time. MaxForce knocked them out within a day. I only had to use a tiny bit of it. I can retreat for years with just one box. Great stuff, thanks! Was this review helpful to you?

4 of 6 people found this review helpful:   Really works! By Tom Stevens on April 19, 2009 I have tried everything under the sun (including Maxforce bait stations) to combat little black ants with only marginal success. With Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel, however, the results were almost immediate, and more significant, long lasting. The little beggars swarm to it as soon as I put it down, and within a day or two they disappear completely. If you hate these pests as much as I do, give this stuff a try.

I believe they are Argentine or sugar ants. I have tried other products over the counter as well as MAXFORCE FC ANT STATIONS and they don't work. But this Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel really worked. The ants eat the gel and the next day they all died and disappeared. It has been 2 weeks and we have not seen any ants. Hope they are completely gone. Was this review helpful to you?

3 of 4 people found this review helpful:    By Sheree from Lawrenceville, GA on July 21, 2007 I had small black ants all over my kitchen counters. I put a smear of honey and peanut butter on foil in 2 corners of the counter that had the most ants. This would serve 2 purposes. It would tell me if the ants were going after protein (peanut butter) or carbohydrates (sugar), and it would cause the ants to create at trail. By creating a trail, I would know where they were coming from, and they would eat what was on the foil and not be all over my counter tops. I put the Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel next to the honey (they were not attracted to the peanut butter), and within 24 hours, no ants! Was this review helpful to you?

2 of 3 people found this review helpful:    By KH from TX on October 3, 2008 Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel is the real deal. I had what I believe were pharaoh ants. The gel and bait combo (maxforce ant bait stations) wiped them out in about a week. Just follow the directions and recommendations and you'll be fine. Was this review helpful to you?

2 of 3 people found this review helpful:    By Brian from Devon, PA, USA on June 16, 2008 I bought the combo MaxForce FC Ant Bait Gel and Advance ant bait products because of the good reviews and we had a carpenter ant problem that returned every summer. Other products were only somewhat effective at knocking down the population that would come into the house. After doing some detective work at night, I found the main nest in a large tree with a split in the trunk. I applied both products to the main nest and where they were coming into the house. The ants did not seem to be attracted to the Advance but were drawn like flies to the MaxForce. Apparently, carpenter ants go through cycles of taste preferences so I guess they are currently feeding on sweets. Within a couple of days, I started seeing hundreds of ants keeling over along the trail between the tree and the house. I should have ordered this stuff a few years ago instead of trying the more generally available products at the home centers. Was this review helpful to you?

It looks like the colony has taken to to it and that should be the end of our ant problem for the next couple of weeks. Was this review helpful to you?

Q  I am using some of this Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel I was given about a year or a year and a half ago. I am wondering if it is still powerful--does this stuff expire? A The Maxforce line of Roach and Ant Gels can be stored for up to two years at room temperature if they are unopened.  Once the Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel is opened it needs to be used within 1 year.  After 1 year the gel will become stale and ineffective.
