Optigard is great
By Greg on 08/05/2011
While my carpenter ants don't seem to much care for the Advance granular bait, and they seem scared of these bait stations, refusing to go inside them, Optigard used outside of bait stations in cracks and crevices seems to have been exactly what I needed. The ants LOVE it, and after using it for almost 2 weeks, the number of ants I'm seeing has plummeted.

Optiguard is amazing
By Buck on 02/11/2013
I bought this for our home because our office's pest control pro used it. It is crazy good. I've tried half a dozen different gels and while the ants will eat them, it's nothing like the way they go nuts when Optiguard is used. I have colonies of ants in my soffits that I've been feeding Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait and MaxForce to for 3 months. 2 weekends with Optiguard and no more ants. Incidentally, the Optiguard docs say that it remains appealing for a long time - I found that when I added new gel to an area that still had remaining gel from a prior application, it would attract whole new swarms that weren't visible just moments before.

Works!
By Ryan on 02/11/2013
We had a bad ghost ant problem in our kitchen. Put 3 of these traps down with both the gel and granules. One day there taking granules (protein), the next the gel (sugar). Within a couple of days, the problem has gone away 99%. We don't see these ants anymore. The product works.

I tried to identify the variety of ant but could not. Called Customer Support and they explained the kit had both granular and gel products that are placed into the same bait station. My particular variety of ant found the stations(s) right away and the gel is what they preferred. Their communication mechanism is impressive and within two hours many many ants were feeding on the gel. 24 hours later there was no sign of ants feeding and I have not seen an ant since.

Very easy and effective
By Anonymous on 07/16/2013
I ordered and used this kit and found it to be easy (inject gel in open cracks and under counters, and sprinkle the powder over areas of concern),and the ants took to the stuff so quickly. On the minus side, it was a little messy (the gel syringe was a little hard to squeeze, so I squeezed a little too much and overtreated a few areas; the top of the powder bottle has an opening for pouring- I almost lost most of the product that way!). I used the kit 3 weeks ago and have not seen any ants in the house since I came back from vacation. Highly recommend!

Great product
By Nicholas on 10/29/2013
I purchased this product when I noticed small sugar ants and some bigger black ants inside and around our kitchen area. The bait worked great. Almost instantly the ants were drawn right to it and died very quickly. I had it out for a few days and didn't see any more ants after that. The bait traps didn't work for me, I may not have put enough bait in them. I also, haven't used the powder.
Poor advice
By Max on 08/26/2014
I spoke with one of your "experts" about my ghost ants. She said that I needed the kit when I thought the gel was the only thing recommended. I bought the kit on her advice. The gel worked fine. I didn't even open the granules. A waste of my money. Good product. Bad advise. Not a good thing!
Expert response:

Ant kit
By Dave on 07/29/2014
The kit works the best I've ever used, just as it was claimed to do. After two days ants were almost gone and in about a week there were no more to be found. Long lasting and very effective. Only used a half of a tube for all around the house, 1/4 acre of property. Thank you very much. Dave
Does the job

Sugar or Pavement Ant Problem
By S. on 04/01/2011
We had tiny black ants show up on the interior baseboards of our sun room all of a sudden. They were far from any food source. There were hundreds only along the baseboards, not elsewhere. I set the two types of bait traps in one location and it worked flawlessly. The ants completely disappeared in one week with the bait not being attractive to my cats or dogs.

The complete Ant kit
By Joe on 05/10/2011
I have used the product according to the instructions and still have the occasional ant crop up a couple times a day. It's better and I will keep using the product to see if it continues to get better. I have been applying the product for the last 2 weeks.

Complete ant kit

Wow...this kit really works!
By Kimberly on 06/13/2011
We had a lot of ants in our kitchen all the time. They started out on the counter only, but then moved to the pantry and started wandering all over the kitchen. It was really getting to be a problem. I called Orkin and Terminix and they wanted $83 to come out every three months (and wanted another $83 each time they showed up). So I stumbled across this website and decided to give this kit a try. I am amazed at how well it works! The cheap stuff from Walmart did nothing, but within a few hours of setting these traps out the ants were swarming them!! In only 1 day was noticed a dramatic decrease in ants (only noticed 1 or 2 instead of hundreds). Now I haven't seen any ants at all! Best of all we have tons of the bait left for more treatments later if needed. VERY VERY happy customer!!!
This one works

Ant kit rocks
By Ron on 08/13/2011
Excellent value for a professional ant kit with all of the extras. Terminix would charge $400 for the same kit, "professionally" applied by an untrained hourly worker. If you are a literate person with no unusual chemical allergies, save yourself $350 and buy the complete ant kit.
Small Black Ants Gone!
By J. on 08/15/2011
We put the gel in the plastic traps in kitchen and bathroom. Just like others have expressed, there were only a few at first, but many more came. It was hard to fight the urge to kill them, but we let them alone. Within two days all ants were gone and they have not returned in over a week. Highly recommend this product.
Finally the ants are gone!!!!!!
By Janet on 08/17/2011
We have been fighting ants all summer. I was about to give up and call a pest control company. Then I remembered a friend telling me about Do My Own Pest Control. The complete Ant Kit got rid of all our ants within two weeks. Most were gone in two days. I love it!!!!
no more antsy in my pantry
By Jenn on 08/18/2011
thank you!!! The ants had been driving me absolutely NUTS!!!!! The trays/bait stations didn't work for me. I put small lines of the bait gel directly where the ants were traveling through my house and kept 'refreshing' it every couple of hours throughout the day. The ants swarmed it and just stayed there eating the bait for a really long time. It was pretty gross, but one tube of optigard took care of them in about 2 days! I have been sharing the bait with my neighbors with a big smile on my face! :-)
