    Q
    Hand spreader using Advance Carpenter Ant Bait?
    What setting would you use? I bought the granules bit the directions are such small print that I can't read them.
    A

    Advance Carpenter Ant Bait states on the product label for broadcasting the rate is 1 lb per acre, which equals out to 1.8 oz per 5000 sqft or 0.4 oz per 1000 sqft.  You would set your spreader to whatever that setting is.

    Q
    The ants are dying before getting back to the colony.
    I noticed quite a few carpenter ants again so I pulled out the bait I purchased last year. I noticed a bunch of dead ants all over my floor. If they aren't dead, they are just about there. Why would they be dying before they get back to the colony?
    A

    Great question! Ant colonies send out different types of ants to forage. They will send out the oldest and weakest to gather food and they will send out their soldiers to protect the foragers. It is normal for some of the ants to succumb quickly to baits like the Advance Carpenter Ant Bait while others are healthy enough to make it back to the colony. As long as the bait is being consumed, it is working and you will see results soon.

    Q
    Is this bait solely for the ants listed?
    I am looking for an ant-specific insecticide. I am encouraging an increase in insect biomass (organic garden), but I obviously can't have them invading my home. Until I can fully address my rotten wood issue, I've got to use an insecticide. I want to make sure this won't take out my beneficials.
    A

    Advance Carpenter Ant Bait is labeled to treat carpenter ants and many other species of ants. Please see the label for a complete list of targeted insect.

    Q
    Recommendation for application?
    Broadcast application is stated as 0.4 oz/ 1000 sf. Around structures, the application rate is stated as 0.3 oz/ 100 linear feet (a tablespoon). Seems like a small amount to be able to accurately distribute. Are there any recommended methods to apply?
    A

    You can get effective control either way you use the Advance Carpenter Ant Bait. Depending on where you show activity, we recommend either method that applies to you by following instructions as shown on the label. Please feel free to go over our Carpenter Ant Guide for additional information.

    Q
    Can Advance Carpenter Ant Bait be used around a vegetable garden?
    A

    Advance Carpenter Ant Bait would not be used inside a vegetable garden unless contained in an ant bait station.  Otherwise it is best to apply around the perimeter in small piles for carpenter ants.

  • Asked by Nadalyn from Williamsburg

    Q
    Do the ants pick up the Advance Carpenter Ant Bait and take it back to the colonies?
    A

    The Carpenter Ants will eat the Advance Carpenter Ant Bait and take it back to their nest.  They will then feed the bait to the queen and the other colony members, and in turn the product will kill all of the ants in the colony.  This is important because once the colony is eliminated, you will not have to battle them again.

    Q
    If I can smell this bait, should I be worried too much has been applied and I'm breathing in poison?
    We hired a pest control company when we saw ants in our home. The "professional" brought this container, held it out to me and told me to smell it before he applied it in our attic. That was 10 days ago. Everyday, the part of the house directly under the attic smells worse and worse. It is the same fishy smell from the container of Advance bait he put into our attic. Why could the smell be getting worse? Did he use too much if we can smell it days later? Are the granules now settling into the insulation instead of laying on top allowing us to smell it better? Most importantly, is this dangerous to us or to our 5 month old baby? I'm just not sure whether the fact that we can smell this means we are breathing in poison.
    A
    Since we do not make the Advance Carpenter Ant Bait Granules, we would recommend contacting the manufacturer Whitmire Micro-Gen directly for your situation. They can be reached at 1-800-777-8570.
