Customer Reviews for Advance 375A Select Granular Ant Bait

Purchased this for ants invading my RV on the advice of a neighbor and former pest control specialist. Sprinkled this sparsely around ant trail and let the little buggers haul it back to their nest. Haven't seen an ant for a month and counting. Definitely endorse this product!

I have been a landscaper for 15 years and using different granules to mitigate ants I would say this one gets the job done. Great 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.

This product works great in conjunction with the gel. My only complaint is that they don't sell it in a smaller package. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

Purchased this for an ant infestation in my back yard. Not being familiar with species of ants other than carpenter ants (Advance carpenter ant bait is quite effective, so I tried some of this for other species) I can only say that I used some of this on large black ants about 1/2" long. These nasty creatures often try to take a piece of your leg home for lunch. They wolfed the 375a down. A week later the nest was still active but the active ants were busy carrying the dead ones out by the dozens. They seem to have stopped foraging. It indicates to me that at the very least, this product has done some severe damage to the colony. If they begin to forage again, I'll feed them some more. Out of town right now so couldn't make any recent observations.

Had a large infestation of ants, after placing product around foundation and mounds, problem solved within a few days. This stuff works great!!!!

Good bait. Ants take to it almost immediately and begins carrying it back to their next. Look out Queen.

This stuff works. Had active anthills across my lawn. While applying the bait, I actually watched the ants grab it up and head for the nest. About a week later there were not ants in my lawn. Great sprinkle applicator cap to distribute evenly, very easy to use and no mess of mixing liquids.

We use it every year at the first sight of ants. They've been successfully controlled for three years so far.

Advance 375A was excellent for driveway ants. They immediately took the bait back to the nest. Significant reduction of activity within days. Great for interior and exterior use.

I bought the ant bait last year and it cleared up my inside and outdoor ant problem. The product arrived quickly. The website is easy to used. Overall, and excellent experience.

Several years ago I was the caretaker of a retreat for my church. One year I found carpenter ants on the outside of the retreat and one inside. I contacted a professional to take care of the problem. (This man has a Doctorate in Entomology and is a retired college professor). He used and highly recommended the product Advance 375 for ant and termite control. Ever since that day I've used and recommended Advance 375 to friends and others that have had ant problems. One Note; I liked Dr. Grable's outlook about insects: "They aren't pests until they invade out space"!

We achieved the results we hoped for - no more Carpenter ants! This is a great site, informational and educational. It was easy to learn about the ants, which product(s) we wanted, and how to use the products. We had major problems with the ants last fall, and have had no reoccurrences in the six months since then.

Our lawn was infested with ants and we have a half acre lawn. I contacted multiple pest control companies - no one would touch it. After trying a variety of products last year with little success, this granular bait along with a liquid bait has worked wonders. Are all the ants gone? No. But after 3 weeks of using it, at least half of them are done and my grass is starting to grow back in. The only downfall is that my dogs are very much attracted to the bait as well so I have to be very careful when and where I apply it otherwise the dogs want to lick it up.

Been using a more expensive brand name. This works the same. I have had weeks to study. Will be buying more.

I have 375A several times and I have always been successful. A professional explained to me how it works. This product takes time for the ants to feed the product to the queen. Results are not immediate, it takes one to two weeks for the bait to reach the queen and for the colony to die. It helps to locate nesting sites and to be more generous in application in those areas.

Have used on outdoor ant-hills, ants in tree roots, and for ants in a wood structure. They take the bait home, and the colony dies out. Does not seem to work on small ants, but the big black ones are what we tend to have in eastern Ohio, and this is the stuff for them! Just a few teaspoonfuls on the hill, or in ant pathways does the job, usually within a week or so.

I live in Southern California, so we are basically over-run with Argentine ants. Even though I read the reviews, I really didn't think that this bait poison was going to work so well. It would just be another tool in the losing fight against these pervasive pests. The ants attacked the granules like fat kids on cake, so I guess the bait profile was spot on. (It smells a bit like fish food) Imagine my surprise when after just 3 days of doing a broadcast spread around my property, I saw not organized rivers of thousands of ants but staggering dozens only. Three days after that and I could only count 30 ants on the whole property. The colonies were effectively wiped out. Next year they will be back but I will be ready.

I have been applying the bait as recommended for several weeks now and have yet seen any results. The only contact that the ants have with the bait is that they remove it from their location. I have watched them do this after continuous applications of the bait. I do find it rather funny to watch them clear the bait away and become dismayed that after all the expense on pest control I still have issues with the colonies in various locations around my property. This is a serious issues for me and have yet to find a method that will actually work on getting rid of these pests. For the performance of this product I would have to rate no stars at this time, but alas I have to at least rate one to submit this review. I hope others that use this product have better success.

Baiting for ants sometimes can be tricky because the appetite of a colony can change frequently and without signs of when or how often this may happen. The bait you purchased is for most common types of ants that are seeking protein foods. If a colony is not seeking protein, then we recommend using a liquid or gel bait, such as Maxforce Quantum: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/maxforce-quantum-ant-bait-p-1884.html. You also want to apply your bait when the ground is dry and you are not expecting rain or watering within at least 24 hours. Also, different chemical methods of control may be more suitable, depending on exactly which type of ants you are finding. As always, we are happy to discuss your situation further to better assist you. You may reach us by email anytime, by live chat on our website, or via telephone at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.

We have had repeated invasions of tiny black ants, the most recent being from December to March in the (New England) winter of 2015. We've never had ants in the winter before. Hardware store products were of no use -- we tried them all. Finally, someone recommended DoMyOwn and a young woman there recommended this product. The ants took to it immediately (along with the gell) and disappeared from kitchen floor, counters and stove. A few days later there was a minor invasion, but another dose of the two formulas killed them off immediately. They are gone! A small down side: the product on a warm day has a very rich odor, but that one day was a small price to pay for such quick and thorough results. I recommend this product above all others we have tried.
