Expert Response  Expert response:

We recommend you use both a liquid ant bait and a granular ant bait because ants can be picky and will sometimes only accept the liquid bait and sometimes only accept the granule bait depending on what nutritional needs they are trying to meet. You can use both bait formulations at one time to insure effectiveness.

Excellent Product

By Anonymous in Kalamazoo, MI on 08/08/2013

Took a while for the carpenter ants to show some interest in this bait. Smaller ants would take away the product before the carpenter ants got their share. Definitely did the job.
