Customer Reviews for Maxforce Ant Bait Granular

We had argentine ants (little brownish-black ants) trailing into our kitchen around the sink area that we couldn't seem to get rid of. They were going after food and crumbs so I dumped out a small little pile of Maxforce ant bait right near the sink where they were foraging. I dumped another little pile on the floor under the sink where I saw more ants. They didn't seem to take to the pile on the floor but they immediately went after the pile on the counter by the sink and started carrying it away (I'd definitely recommend trying in more than one spot if they don't take to the bait right away). In the morning I checked the pile on the counter and it was almost completely gone, so I poured out more bait in the same spot the next night. The ants kept eating it and by the third day they were completely gone! We never saw another ant in the kitchen again! Worked as advertised and I'd highly recommend this stuff. We have 3/4 jar left so I even have bait left for next time!

This is a great product. Just sprinkle around the outside of your house and no more bugs/roaches of any sort (even the great big ones that try to come in when it's dry outside). I use it about once a quarter and cannot remember the last time I saw a roach. I have used this product for at least 5 years and have no complaints. It seems expensive but a little goes a LONG way and once you start using this you can fire your exterminator. A sprinkle is really only a few tablespoons. It does not have any smell once dispensed and stores well. I live in a 1940's era house with lots of ways for bugs to get in and I have NO bug/roach problems at all. I cannot speak for ants, as I have never had an ant problem (but maybe that speaks for this product, too).

Maxforce Ant Bait Granular is the only product we have successfully found to get rid of red ants. We had four ant hills in our yard since moving in 3 years ago. We tried digging up the queen, hot water and other products to no avail. Now our family and friends can enjoy our backyard without being bitten.

I have used Maxforce Ant Bait for ant control for about 5 years now and it is the best. Every July we get ants in the house. One application around the house and they are gone.

I have used Maxforce Granular Ant Bait both indoors and outdoors. Ants seem to love this stuff. They carry it away and in a short period of time, no more ants. I recently had ants invading a pantry, getting into open boxes of cereal and crackers. I removed all food items from the pantry, placed about 1/2 teaspoon of ant bait near the crack where the ants were coming in. By the next morining all the granuals were gone and so were the ants.

I have used Maxforce in the past for carpenter ants.  It is the best product that I have ever used. Gets rid of the ants within days.  They seem to carry it back to the nest and I usually do not see any more. THE BEST!!

Every year I have a problem with ants that seem to be after water. They would get in my dishwasher, go through the wash cycle and after I opened the door they would coming crawling out. I put the granules at the back of the sink area and in two days no more ants. I am very pleased with your product and have ordered it for my friends.

Had been using all kinds and types of ant killer products for over a year with only marginal success. Was given a sample of Maxforce to try at the cabin by a friend and they were totally gone in 2 days. I then bought my own and used it at my home with the same results. That was 2 to 4 months ago and still no ants at either place. The other amazing thing is that it took only a fraction of Maxforce placed behind floor molding in about 5 areas inside of my 3000 sq. ft. home and I still have tons of product left. I will never waste my $ on any other product again.

I am an environmental scientist who has used this product for years, due to its low environmental toxicity and safety, and equally important, its effectiveness. We live rurally and do not want the wildlife or our dogs exposed to dangerous chemicals such as those found in Raid, etc. When we begin to see trails of ants around our home, we sprinkle the bait along the base of the house and in cracks or ant hills. Within three to four days, the ant population has reduced by about 80%, and within 5 days to a week, they are gone, and they stay gone until the next season!  It is great in that it wipes out the ant nests, not just the ants that are usually seen so it is a wonderful product and safe.

I have used this product for many years and think it is the best thing on the market. It is the only thing I have ever used that eliminated the tiny ants found in Florida.

Used the granules for years. It always works. Now they have replaced this product with another that claims to control all the different kinds of ants. I believe it is the granule mixed with the powder. Tried the powder years ago with no success. Wish they had left the product as granular only. Have not tried the mix yet.

We recently re-ordered this same product, as we found it effective and very easy to use. Our use is primarily under a couple of windows where ants seem to gain entry, but we also use it over ant mounds in the yard.

Since moving into our new home two years ago, I'd been fighting tiny black ants in the crack between our garage concrete slab and the blacktop driveway, and tried a number remedies, home style (salt, hot water, clorox) and commercial (Raid). Nothing got rid of them. Then I found you online and ordered your Ant Bait product. I applied it rather sparingly in the affected areas, and truly have not seen an ant since. Wow! It works!

My Florida residence is surrounded by sandy, undeveloped lots. I am literally surrounded by ants. Maxforce granular bait is the only product, and I have tried several, that helped. It not only helped but made them disappear all summer and fall. They are just now coming back into my yard, so I stocked up again. Be sure to buy fresh bait. I purchase my first 6 lb jug from a local retailer for $115, and it was too old to be effective. Ants must like fresh bait.

This is a great product. It is really good for roaches also. Please do continue to make this product. This is a whole lot better than Maxforce Complete,which did not do nothing for me.

If you are having a problem with ants and can't keep them away, you must try this bait. We put very little around the outside base of our house and within 2 days you don't see a one anywhere. Our neighbor stores his plastic & glass bottles beside our fence which attracts ants from the sweet products. We only put it down about every year & a half to control them all the time. Best stuff we have ever found and wouldn't live without it. Try it yourself. You won't believe it.

As soon as it hits the ground the ants run off with it and take it under ground - they seem to love the stuff. It has totally cured our ant problem.

I felt I had let the ants go for too long before I got around to picking something up to stop them, so I figured it would be hard to get rid of them. Based on reviews, I gave this product a try. I applied it once, lightly, and the ants were gone. Period. End of story. Amazing. It has been a couple of weeks now, and they are gone. One application. Done. Wow.

This is really supposed to be used outside - so you're not inviting the ants in to dinner. However, ants were already inside in large numbers having found an old candy cane under some papers that I didn't know was there. I used a small storage container cap, put a torn piece of a napkin from it to the counter as a bridge so the ants could get in easily. At first they didn't pay much attention to the napkin scrap, so I put some granules on it leading like a bread crumb trail to the bait in the cap. Before long they were hauling it awa. The standard long lines of Argentine ants coming and going were soon looking like a busy 4 lane super highway; actually, quite fascinating to watch. It does require a lot of restraint to not just kill as many as possible immediately, though! Within 8 hours I had no more ants inside and have not seen one since - 3 weeks now. I also used feeders and this bait outdoors - and they received it well there, too... for days. Now, I just don't see many ants anywhere at all. Used in combination with Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait.

This stuff really works. I had 3 colonies of odorous ants in different spots outside the house, as far as I could tell the nests were under the concrete paths and brickwork around the house. The ants were invading the house every night; we couldn't leave anything out on the counters. I put a small pile in the kitchen and the ants immediately began carrying it off. I was amazed that about 1 tablespoon of the bait was taken overnight. It took about 24 hours in each case to kill each of the three colonies. At the end of the week, we were ant free. I haven't seen a single ant in the house for 3 weeks. I like this product because there is no smell, no messy sprays, and no dangerous poison spread. Just had to make sure the dog couldn't get to it. It is very effective, they could sell a much smaller size for cheaper; I have 90% of my product left over.
