Asked by Phil07/05/2011QWhat is the best bait for small ants in house?
I had previously been using Fluorogard for small ants and it worked well. I recently found out that it's been discontinued by the manufacturer. The MaxForce does not attract these ants at all. What do you suggest as an alternative? I have cats in my house so I'd prefer something that is enclosed in a trap or that can be put in a trap.AWe would suggest the Advance Dual Choice Ant Stations which are unique because they offer a sugar type bait and a protein type bait, both of which the ants eat, in the same bait station.

Asked by Michael from Ewing, Nj05/18/2012QAnts do not seem interested in Advance Dual Choice Ant Bait Stations?
I have been battling sugar ants (Argentine Ants) for a few months. Other baits I have purchased at local hardware stores did not work. I purchased the Advance Dual Choice Ant Bait Stations, based on the information on your web site. After three days with these stations, it doesn't seem that the ants are interested in the bait. I see them check it out, but never have them flock to any of the bait stations. If I put out syrup, the ants flock to that. Do you have any suggestions?AThe ants that you are having an issue with may be more interested in the moisture content of syrup than they are with the actual syrup. If the ants have not taken any bait no matter what types of bait you have put out, you may have a species of ant that makes their own food by laying non-viable eggs…
Read Full Answer »The ants that you are having an issue with may be more interested in the moisture content of syrup than they are with the actual syrup. If the ants have not taken any bait no matter what types of bait you have put out, you may have a species of ant that makes their own food by laying non-viable eggs or by growing a fungus. We recommend that you use a spray like Phantom that will be transferred back to the nesting site. Phantom is a non-repellent insecticide that has a delayed reaction which allows ants time to get back to the colony and spread the product. In essence, the ants will not be able to tell that the product is in place and they will pick it up on the fine hairs all over their body and inadvertently carry it back to the colony where over a course of a few days it will knock out the entire colony. Phantom works really well because you don't have to worry about whether the ants will accept bait, they just need to walk over the treated areas. -
Asked by C.03/12/2010QDo Advance Dual Choice Ant Bait stations work for black carpenter ants?
If not, what's the best bait for carpenter ants? Do I have to put the Maxforce gel into a plastic bait tray or just squirt it on the ground in little puddles around the outside of the house? Is Advance granular bait perimeter protection more or less effective than the Maxforce gel?

Read Full Answer »Advance Dual Choice Ant Stations are not labeled for carpenter ants, therefore they will not work. If you do have carpenter ants inside your home as well as outside, you should definitely purchase our Carpenter Ant Kit #1. It has a very high success rate and is by far our best selling solution for carpenter ants. The Advance Carpenter Granules in the kit are meant to be placed outside around the home to help kill carpenter ants around the house and in the yard. The Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel in the kit is meant for use inside the home and should be placed where you see activity. You only want to place small dabs about the size of a dime where you see activity. Carpenter ants are most active in the middle of the night when you are sleeping, so sometimes it helps to get up in the middle of the night to see exactly where the most activity is. -

To stick on vertical surfaces, remove peel and stick backing on reverse side of bait station. For thorough ant control, use as many bait stations as necessary (normally 3-4 stations for an average size room or 6-8 stations for a heavy infestation). For best results, also place bait stations along walls, baseboards, in corners, under sinks, in cabinets, pantries, near plumbing, electrical lines, potted plants, waste receptacles, sensitive electronic equipment, inside drop ceilings, wall voids, under and around equipment and appliances. Replace bait stations when necessary, approximately every 3 months.
