Customer Reviews for Advance 375A Select Granular Ant Bait

I have used both this protein bait and the sweet bait (Bayer MaxForce), and in both cases, the odorous ants loved it for the first day. Then they somehow figured out it was bad for them and carefully avoided them. I guess the word gets out!! Any ideas?

This product does the job. I sprinkle the bait around the perimeter of the house. It acts as a barrier. No ants. I also use a liquid bait for ants. Both products were effective.

Put this stuff down with gel as recommended. So far the ants only want the gel so I don't know if this stuff works or not.

Great bait and the ants are in a frenzy over it. Not sure how well its working because more and more hills keep popping up... so more ants? Or same ants different location?

It works, especially as a "bait band" around the house in spring before they set up housekeeping. Because it's in granules I don't worry about breathing it. Decent price too.

They came to the stations once, then avoided it, but did appear to significantly reduce the population. Still have the crazy ant problem.

I use sparingly in my yard and garden. Then toss over across my neighbors yards. No fire ants for 3 years now.

I have used Advance 375A Ant bait for three years, and it is very effective against small and medium-size brown ants and carpenter ants. I sprinkle it around ant hills as they emerge and under plants and along paths where ants travel. Two cautions: Do not use near dogs (who love the smell) and buy a new container each year to maintain peak effectiveness.

Purchased the gel and granules due to carpenter ants on a porch. The ants were going up and down a post and I didn't want to start removing soffit to find the nest. I put some gel and granules on the handrail and the ants immediately began taking the bait. Two weeks later and there is no sign of the ants.

I found that the type of ants I have love this stuff. I just put a little bit in a medicine bottle cap & it draws them in, they take it back & ants no more.

I wanted to use something to kill the harvester ants in my backyard that was as benign environmentally as possible. I only placed bait by ant mound opening and placed a large garden pot over it , lifted on one side with a brick. This was to keep birds and my new puppy from seeing bait and eating the bait. Well, after 1 treatment I have seen ZERO harvester ants. How satisfying is that!

I had really good luck with the Advance Carpenter Ant bait for those ants last year, so I should have gone with this one for my new problem with smaller ants, but I tried and failed with something else first. The Advance 375A came through, once I finally offered it! (The Carpenter Ant bait was too large and not attractive to these smaller ants.)

I have been in the pest control biz for 30 years. Baiting for ants will give you a pretty good chance at eliminating ant colonies. Now, things vary, type of ant, time of year, weather, time of day. Are there other critters that will steal the bait etc. Ants are after either protein or sweet things, again depending on time of year. If they are in your candy , use a sweet bait, if in the pet food THIS is the ticket. It works most every time. Now the beauty of these little granules is that you will actually see the ants move off with a piece. In this way with a flashlight with a red lens or just using slight light of a normal lens (don't freak them out) track them back to the nest. Is it outside? in the roof? You will , with this product be able to find out. Some baits kill too fast, you don't want that. With this product you have two ways to get them, a tainted food supply, and or finding and then attacking the nest direct. I have found THIS product to be the most successful one.

After reading other reviews I ordered this in conjunction with Advion Ant Bait Gel. I pulled back the pine straw on the outside of my home and started to shake the Advance 385A on the ground. Almost immediately it was like a feeding frenzy! I literally watched the ants carry the granules back into the ground. Several days later I did not see one ant in my kitchen. It's now been three weeks with no ants. I highly recommend this product along with the Advion Gel for indoors

Most ant varieties love this bait, especially carpenter ants. I wish I had found this product several years before the ants could multiply. They are gone now.

The bait attracted very small ants, but the carpenter ants did not show any interest in the bait at all.

In the past, I had used a sugar based ant gel bait. In my previous home, the sugar based gel always worked. But in my new home, the ants avoided it. After searching the Internet to find answers about why the ant bait wasn't working, I came on this website and read about how ants forage for what they need and if they don't need sugar - they won't take the bait. So I bought this ant bait because it is protein based. The ant problem was so bad that I decided to take a chance and give the granular bait a try. I am happy to say that within 5 seconds of putting this bait down, the ants were already taking the bait and then they swarmed within an hour. Within 3 to 5 days the number of ants dwindled and disappeared. It's been almost a month and I have had no problems since. I highly recommend this product and would gladly buy it again. It was just what I needed for my situation.

Highly recommended protein based bait. Used in conjunction with liquid Terro borax bait. Worked like a charm. When they stopped going to the liquid they went for the advance pellet's. Wiped out the entire colony. Helpful to use both products as colonies require both protein and liquid.

Skeptical at first but this bait totally brought out the ants in droves. Placed a spoonful of this overnight in areas where there was high traffic. By next day, there were some dead ants and no sign of activity anywhere. Waited a couple of days and still no activity. Completely satisfied with this product.

I had a trail of ants attacking my dog's food after a heavy rainstorm pushed the ants inside my home. I contacted Do My Own Pest Control and they assessed the situation and recommended Advance 375A Select. The ants were gone in a matter of hours. I now plan to look through their other products. Thanks Guys!

Used this product when I was a professional pest tech with a major pest control company. Had great results with it then and now, around my own home. Both pavement and carpenter ants scoop this stuff up like crazy. I used it on and around our front walk and a couple days after using it...bingo, no pavement ants.

This is a great product.  Does the trick on carpenter ants.  Small amounts placed along the ant trail and in a few days all are gone.  Also a great price from the people at DoMyOwnPestControl.

I was all excited to use this and the ants didn't touch it at all. I had read that it depends on what they are looking for, that sometimes the gel works better. I had bought both. The gel worked great. I only rated it 1 star because I had to put something in. Would rather write N/A since I haven't been able to use it yet.

I've had great success using Advance 375A Ant Bait to get rid of carpenter ants as well as other ants outside the house. I place small piles of bait outside where I see ants congregate, renewing the piles daily as necessary. Within a few days they are gone. I've found this also keeps ants from returning inside where I sometimes see them in the kitchen.

As soon as I put it down the ant's were all over it. I actually saw them fighting over it. This stuff was by far the best ant bait I've found. Money well spent.

Have had a problem with carpenter ants for several years. A lot of solutions just don't work. Tried the Advance 375A within the past few weeks and have noticed that in some places(which were infested) there are no ants. Can't give it five stars because I have to wait until Fall to see how well things turned out.

Great product when used in conjunction with other recomended products. Two days & the coloney of small what I call sugar ants or nuisance ants was destroyed.
