Q

Do I need to do anything to the trap or are the ready to go out of the package?
I had used them before and they were amazing (from a pest control pro) so I ordered a bag when we had ants again this spring. The baits do not seem to be doing anything so I wondered if I missed a step of removing part of the packaging or adding water or something.

The Advion Ant Baits come ready to use. Ants nutritional needs change frequently. This means that one day they may only forage for proteins, like what is contained in the Advion Ant Bait Stations and another day they may forage for carbohydrates like the ingredients contained in the Maxforce Ant Bait gel. We recommend leaving the Advion Stations in place and allow the ants to continue their natural foraging. We also recommend using an ant bait gel or liquid in the same area where you placed the stations to allow the ants to select the bait that fits their needs.

Q

What is the shelf life of the Advion Ant Bait Arena?
I bought a bag of the Ant baits last summer. They worked great then. Now, I set some out for new ants coming in and the ants don't even notice them. How accurate is the shelf life information? I would like to know if I just need a fresh batch of Advion Bait traps or try something else for these ants. Thanks

A

Advion Ant Bait Arenas typically have a shelf life of 6-12 months after being opened. However, baits have food grade ingredients that will go stale which makes the bait less attractive to insects, so for optimal acceptance baits should be used within 6 months of opening.

Q

Are the Advion Ant Bait Arenas dangerous to pets and children if they touch them?

A

The actual bait is contained inside the center of the Advion Ant Bait Arena so just touching the exterior of the arena will not be harmful. We do still recommend placing the stations in areas that are not readily accessible by pets and children.

All 3 will offer comparable results really, the only real difference is in the active ingredients. They are all stations so are convenient to use. The Advance 360A Dual Choice Ant Bait Station contains two different bait matrixes to ensure efficacy among both carbohydrate and protein feeding ants so would be better than just using the Advion Ant Bait Arena or the MaxForce Ant Bait Stations as they are only protein based. Ants nutritional needs change on a daily basis so it is best to provide both types of bait to ensure they will go for one of the other.

Although the Advion Ant Bait Arenas can be used both indoors and outdoors, you would want to be careful to place them outdoors where they would not be in direct contact with large amounts of water from the sprinklers. Typically, the stations should be place immediately around the structure and close to the foundation. Try to place the stations where they would not come into much contact with water. Since the stations are small, they can easily be placed behind downspouts, under rocks, under ground cover like pine straw and mulch, etc. where water will not fall directly on them.
