I purhased Advance 375A for ants. Now flies are attracted to it. Will it kill or feed them?

I have hundreds of them sitting on my patio and they're eating the granules. What do I do?

Answer:

The flies are attracted to the ant bait as most of the ingredients in the bait are food based to help attract the ants. It's normal for the flies to be attracted to it and any fly that consumes some of the granule will most likely die from the poinson built in. To try and deter the flies from the ant bait, you could use a specifically formulated fly bait like our Maxforce Granular Fly Bait. It attracts the flies not only through food but with a sexual pheromone as well. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
