| Q | Do you have a product(s) that are effective against pharaoh ants? I noticed little ants in my kitchen and I'm sure they are pharaoh ants based on a recent home improvement radio show here in Fort Wayne, IN. I haven't tried ant spray or anything else at this point because the "professional" on the show stated that would make the problem worse, the ants would branch off into separate colonies. I've tried Home Depot and Lowe's and some products state on the package that their product is NOT effective against pharaoh ants. I need a product that is specific to eradicating pharaoh ants.
| A | We do carry several ant baits that are labeled for Pharaoh ant control. We recommend that you offer both a gel bait such as Advion ant bait gel as well as a granule bait such as the Advance 375A. Offering both baits will ensure that the ants will have their nutritional needs met and at least one of the baits will be accepted by the ants. Most of the bait manufacturers recommend that you also do outdoor treatments with a product labeled for Pharaoh ants such as Termidor SC. Pharaoh ants can have huge colonies outdoors and as you know smaller satellite colonies indoors. Eliminating the outdoor colony will stop new ants from moving in. Termidor is a a great choice because it is non-repellent insecticide that also has a transfer effect. That means that ants cannot tell that the Termidor is there and will walk right over it and then pick the product up on their bodies and inadvertently carry it back to to the colony, then through normal social interaction the ants spread the Termidor and wipe out the colony. Termidor only needs to be applied two times per year and is effective for a wide variety of insects including ants |

| Q | Is Advion ant bait gel grease, oil or protein based? Different species of ants are attracted to different foods at different times. Can you tell me what the base for Advion is?
| A | Advion Ant Bait Gel is a carbohydrate based gel. Ant feeding cycles can usually be broken into two catergories, carbohydrate (sweet or sugar) feeding ants or protein (meat, grease, oil) feeding ants. In general liquid and gel ant baits are sweet or carbohydrate based. Granule and solid baits (ant bait stations) are usually protein based baits. We have put together a complete ant bait kit that includes both types of baits plus 12 ant bait stations to make ant baiting simple. |

| Q | Does Advion Ant Gel work well on Carpenter Ants? Does this work well for carpenter ants? It is a fair amount cheaper than the MaxForce product. Also does it lose it's strength after a year even if not opened? I can't see using all four tubes within the year.
| A | Advion Ant gel is labeled for carpenter ants and is also a great product. The manufacturer does recommend that you use the product within 2 years of purchase, but it could last much longer if you store it at room temperature and not in direct sunlight. This only applies to the tubes that you have not opened. Once you open a single tube and expose it to air it should be used within 6 months. |
