Customer Reviews for Advance 375A Select Granular Ant Bait

I put Maxforce into three bait stations. Two in my kitchen where the ants were trailing and one outside the kitchen. It looked like the ants weren't able to get into the bait stations, but within hours I found a lot of dead ants around a station. There were still a lot of ants in the area but not by morning! No ant activity for two weeks now. I also purchased the Advanced 375A Select Granular Ant Bait and put it around the outside of the kitchen. It's not expensive if you consider that commercial bait is only money you're just throwing away because they simply don't work. I'm a customer for life!

just wanted to write a review for the people who were like me and looking for a solution... the perfect solution for the novice pest control person is to use this product and the ant bait station along with terro... Using this combo works because it kills both types of ants protein and sugar based (i think that is how they are separated)... but because I am no entomologist and just wanted them dead this was awesome... I used the bait stations and with the separator had half granules and half terro and my problems were gone in days... I bought the large sizes thinking that I would need that much but I didn't and you don't either... I used these at a hotel where I work at and barely used a quarter of the container... so order the bait stations order the small size of this and terro and you will be good to go. Good Luck

I love my quirky pest inspection "guy" that has helped me for the past several years manager our "sugar ants"; however, once I realized his "magic sauce" he was using (this stuff!) I decided to look for it online. AMAZING results for a fraction of the cost. Quick delivery! Excellent product for what I call "sugar ants." We use it at all of our rentals and our primary residence. THANK YOU! You have saved us hundreds of dollars.

We live in Stuart, Fl. Our property is up high on a sand ridge. For 3 years we have dealt with bigheaded ants around the property. Whenever it would rain they would enter every crevice in the house. I believe they even had a nest in attic. I have tried every home depot and lowes product. I used the tiger dust from lowes for a while but that would simply scare them away and make them hide out until the active dust disappeared. I decided to try Bayer 375A. I sprinkled one small bottle of Bayer 375A around our whole property which is 0.17 acres, very small. The ants immediately grabbed the granules and took them below into their nests. One week later after a vacation we came home. There were piles of dead ants everywhere. Piles of dead ants everywhere! This is the only product that worked for us with bigheaded ants in Florida! Buy it, you wont regret it!

I've used so many products but none worked until I used this product. Advance Select Granular Ant Bait is unbelievable. As I am trying to shake or spoon the bait on the ants are carrying it away. Literally the instant you put it they are taking it back to the nest. Gone, gone, gone.

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.

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.)

Great product, however I have ants behind the back splash in the kitchen and it is proving a challenge to kill them. I even routinely spray with bifen and tarus sc in the soil outside. And suspend for indoors. So all in all great and happy with product.

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.

After calling in professionals twice, and still having swarms of ants in the kitchen every morning, my wife did an online search and found Advance 375A ant bait. I left ONE teaspoon of the granules on the main track that the ants were following. At first they didn't seem particularly interested, paused, then went on their way. Day 2: there were a few ants sniffing at the bait. Day 3: there were no ants. That was about 3 weeks ago. So does it work? YES.

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.

I used this along with the Maxforce gel. Used very little of each in areas outside where we've had masses of all kinds of ants. The ants took to both readily and we noticed a huge difference within a couple of days. This 2 lb jug and the several tubes of the Maxforce should last us a long time.

This product works pretty good. I use it with the gel, so no more ants in the house. I keep use it outside, trying to control the ants from coming into the house.
