The granular Advance worked better for me
By Aw on 08/30/2012
I had several types of ant problems, mostly odorous and carpenter and who knows what else. Within seconds of sprinkling the Advance around, ants were carrying it. Pretty much total control of my problems in a couple of days. The gel doesn't seem to be attracting many of the ants I had. I'd give the Advance 5 stars and the Optigard 3.

Complete Ant Kit
By Anonymous on 06/17/2013
Right now it is only 4 stars. Received the complete ant kit and the ants dig right in to the MaxForce bait. I put it out about 7 days ago. There are 3 distinct areas that I treated. One of the areas there only seems to be a few ants, but the other two areas there seems to be just as many. Maybe it has not had enough time to kill them all, I don't know. If you actually read these reviews, I would like someone from DoMyOwnPestControl to contact me and tell me why I still have so many ants after using the bait (that they swarmed and ate). Thanks.

Ants gone
By Dave on 05/27/2012
I've only used the Advance bait, and it got the job done fast. The only reason why I didn't give it five stars, is that I wish there was more of the Advance bait in the kit. I haven't used the gel bait yet, but I will be putting it out this weekend. A little pricey, but it did the job and did it fast. I wonder how long the treatment will be effective. I recommend the kit, I love watching the ants carry off the bait.

works slow but works well.

I used this to combat little black argentine ants around my yard, that were trying to work there way into my home. within an hour of placing the baits outdoors, they were crawling with ants. I thought the optigard would be their preferred bait, but to my surprise it was the advance protein granules were making the ants go crazy!. the optigard worked for a while, but dried out in about a day and the ants seemed to ignore it once it dried. After about a week the hive was dead. NOTE: I did find that slugs were drawn to the optigard when the bait stations were placed outside. perhaps it can also work to control slugs.

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!
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!
