Use of Advance Carpenter Ant Bait
By B. on 06/27/2010
We used it on huge carpenter ants that were crawling all over the walls of our house. One day after we had put this bait out, the number of ants significantly dropped, two days later they were all but gone. This stuff really works!

Effective and Easy to Use
By Dj on 09/26/2011
When I saw a professional pest control person apply this as part of his treatment, I decided to try it myself. Just shake it on, then watch the ants carry it back to the nest! Keep applying as it goes away, and soon the ants are gone, too. Much easier to live with than sprays.

Killer Stuff
By Greg on 08/08/2012
You will actually enjoy pulling up a lawn chair watching the little beggars carrying this stuff away. Quickly noticed a decrease in the carpenter ant population. I would say I have achieved about a 90% reduction... I have applied it a second time and dont see any in that area. Recently had a few in my den and I traced them to outside the window and a small hole in the frame. Put it down yesterday and have many dead ants in that area with others slowly moving. Use the gel also for a 1-2 punch...carpenter ants are highly destructive. You need to get rid of them.

Carpenter ant bait
By Christopher on 05/20/2013
Works!
By Anonymous on 08/06/2013
Originally purchased a large container of this bait about 3-4 yrs. ago and used on perimeter of property. Got rid of carpenter ants. Unfortunately, some type of critter got hold of the container in our garage, tore the plastic open and ate the remainder. Just purchased product again as saw carpenter ants on back porch and entering weep holes in brick. Applied product around perimeter of porch and into crevice where saw ants. Initially thought product not working but went out of town for a few days and upon returning, all of the bait is gone. Have not seen carpenter ants, so appears the bait has worked. Will continue to apply periodically to keep the ants away as we back up to a wooded area.

The only granular ant bait you'll ever need
By Anonymous on 09/01/2013
Fire ants, Carpenter ants, Acrobat ants, pharaoh ants, this one bait does them all. Have put this next to a half rat carcass covered in fire ants, and in a minute they were off the rat and all over this bait. Won't use any other product for baiting ants outside

Carpenter Ant Bait
By Mike on 07/14/2014
I received the ant bait, and followed directions, and spread it around my home the day I received it. I had been seeing quite a few carpenter ants. It rained right after I put the bait out, and I was afraid it had ruined my bait. But since then, I haven`t even seen one carpenter ant around our home! We have been using a local exterminator company. But if I can buy products as good as Advance Carpenter Ant Bait from you, I plan to start doing my own pest control! Thanks!

Advance Carpenter Ant Bait
By Richard on 10/13/2016
It Works ! Finally, after two years of fighting ants, they are GONE. I live in Irvine, CA. Our Woodbridge community is considered to be a giant anthill. Professionals retained by the association could not win. I WON. Use this with the associated product to fight with protein and sugar components and you will win too...

Advance Carpenter Ant Bait
By Faye on 07/08/2017
We live in East Texas, where carpenter ants are a HUGE problem. I had tried Advance Fire Ant Bait for them, but it doesn't attract carpenter ants. We don't have just the kind that I have seen in the house, but there are actual smaller blackish ones that go up the treetrunks and also make little dens all over the yard, and they are literally everywhere, crawling all over our feet outside. This bait for carpenter ants WORKS!!! I sprinkle it around in a moderate amount under the trees near our house, the ants snatch it up, take it into their dens where they lay their eggs, and voila' - they all die. I do this once every few weeks and it keeps them under control. Also, it's very low toxicity to animals, so I don't have to be concerned with poisoning any that might come around. Great product!

It Works!
By Helen on 07/03/2020
This is the 2nd year I've used Advance Bait to deal with carpenter ants in our yard. Because the ants take it back to the nest and later die, it takes awhile to see the results but the difference is apparent within a week or so. I continue to sprinkle it in areas where the ants reappear.

Ants in the pants!
By Mr. on 07/11/2020
Yes, it is true; I had ants in the pants, after spading the back 40 last week. Luckily, Grandma had just received her order of ADVANCE CARPENTER ANT BAIT. I carefully sprinkled a bit all around the garden plot and in my pants cuffs, just to be sure. In less than an hour the ants had consumed the bait placed around the garden and were being attracted to my pants cuffs again. At that point I grabbed a flyswatter and beat them back into the turf. Grandma stood by and chuckled: "See..., I told you Advance Carpenter Ant Bait would work... now maybe next time you'll listen to the old gal!" I got right back to spading, to make up for lost time.

Advance carpenter ant bait
By Charles on 07/24/2020
Best ant bait!
By Angela on 08/10/2020
This was my second order. The first order also included the gel bait. For me the Advance Granular is the one that worked! I didn't get any takers with the gel, but they gobbled up the Granular! This stuff is amazing! It works great! We have a never ending supply of ants where we live, but this has cut their numbers drastically! Will definitely continue to use this!

Works!
By Dale on 08/17/2020
We had carpenter ants and tried many things to get rid of them. Was about to call a professional company. After reading about baits, found this at DoMyOwn and thought why not since it is less expensive than a pest control company. Within a week, no more carpenter ants. Several weeks later, still no carpenter ants. I am very pleased with this product and the small amount of product and time it took to rid the house of the carpenter ants. Glad I found this company to buy from. It is now my go to source for pest control.

Great job!!
By Nancy on 09/04/2020
I applied the Carpenter Ant Bait at night and the next morning the birds were feasting on all the dead ants in the yard. It certainly works fast! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that has a problem with carpenter ants.

Amazing
By Joan on 07/27/2023
I put down the Advance Carpenter Ant Bait along with the Maxiforce Fleet . I can't say what happened with the Advance Carpenter Bait as the carpenter ants were immediately attracted to the Maxiforce Fleet. Piles of dead ants at all my giant wood Grizzley, Black bear and Wolf statues as well as a young tree. These are huge statues that have been gutted by the carpenter ants. See my review on the Maxiforce Fleet. The Maxifleet goes a long way. I didn't begin to use a cylinder of this. Would I buy it again? That's a no brainer.

advance carpenter ant bait
By Lynn on 08/04/2023
Great Product
By Tom on 08/04/2010
Use the Advanced along with the "Maxforce Gel" and your Carpenter ants will be gone in 3-4 days. I had a nest next to a tree about 20' from the back of my house. The Carpenter ants had a trail leading across my deck and were going under my siding and into my house. Sprinkled the Advanced around the base of the tree and put several drops of the Maxforce Gel on my deck. Ants were all dead in 3 days. Easy to do yourself instead of paying a professional exterminator.
This stuff works great!
By Jeff on 08/10/2010
It is fairly expensive, but it is a targeted bait used to kill carpenter ants. I was surprised that other ants didn't seem to be attracted to this bait, but the carpenter ants attacked it and took it all inside the nest. Two days later, the huge nest of ants didn't have any movement at all.
So far so good.....
By Monte on 08/13/2010
My exterminator had tried three times to eliminate carpenter ants but they kept coming back. During his last complimentary/no charge house treatment, he tracked down their nests several yards from the house and suggested I try this ant bait. He said this is what he used and even gave me your website! (Now THAT is a professional). I found their nest and treated the yard from the nest to the house by following their little path. He had said it may take several days to see the effect. Sure nuff, their signs at the house became less noticeable. Then it rained... hard. I retreated the yard again and so far, so good. A few signs but a MAJOR improvement. Bet they are gone in a week or so.

Carpenter Ant Bait
By John on 08/20/2010
After a few doses, I did notice a sharp decline in the number of colony members. It took a couple weeks of sporadic dosing, but I believe it did the trick. Advance was recommended to me by an entomologist. I would recommend this to anyone with carpenter ant problems. Kill them before they kill your house. ;)
Worked Great
