Ants be gone!!!
By Chris on 09/27/2009
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!

Great!

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.

Advance 375A Ant Bait
By Otto on 06/12/2011
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.
Good price on a known product

Excellent Product
By Anonymous on 07/23/2013
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"!
Expert response:
Advance 375A Select Granular and Optigard Ant Bait Gel
By Margaret on 05/30/2014
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.
Worth the Price

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.
Great product

100% SUCCESS
By Dave on 07/28/2014
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.
Good For Carpenter Ants
By Andy on 09/03/2014
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.
Whoah. It works!

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.
Tiny Black Ants
By Donald on 04/21/2015
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.
Excellent Product

YES!!!
By Paul on 02/05/2016
This stuff is awesome. We had a real bad carpenter ant problem in our house. They were entering through multiple locations into the house. I use the Demon WP outside, but that seems to have a limited effect. We sealed all the holes but they still got in. So I bought this and the gel and a hunting I went. The key is to hit them directly at the source. I would put it in the house, but it only held them off for a week or so. Instead I ended up tracking the ants back to their home and I would put a few tablespoons of this stuff right on it. Within hours they gathered it/ate it. The ant problem stopped immediately. THANK YOU!!

Excellent compliment to carbohydrate bait
By Duane on 04/26/2016
I have used carbohydrate based bait for years with success but this year I took your advice and added a protein bait. To my surprise they hit both hard, it's only been a week or so, too early to judge results, but based on the amount of protein bait taken I am expecting good results.

Tiny Ants gone
By Dsg on 07/20/2016
It works!
By Sd on 07/25/2016
Each spring, for 20 years or so, brings small black ants into the kitchen area of our house. Not too bad we just got clear liquid sugar liquid baits and they were gone 'til next spring. Not this year! A dirty dinner plate especially meat, would be covered with the buggers in no time. Like they came out of no where. The "Ant Control" page here mentioned that ants may decide to seek protein so I ordered this. I opened it and sprinkled some on an ant trail on our deck. They stopped in their tracks and started hauling it off. I poured out 5 small piles where the trails disappeared into the house and under the deck. Next morning the piles of bait were gone! That night, no more ants! Great website!! Great product!! (I would be careful putting this where the dog might catch a whiff of it. )
Good results
