    Q
    I have a line of ants on patio. Can I put the Advion Ant Bait Gel next to the line of ants on the patio?
    A

     

    Advion Ant Bait Gel can be used outside, but will not stand up very well to outdoor elements. You may want to consider applying Termidor SC around the outside of the foundation for ant control. See our Ant Pest Guide for more information about treating ants in and around your home.

    Q
    Is it dangerous to put Advion Ant Gel under my stove?
    A

    No, Advion Ant Bait Gel is not dangerous to place under a stove. It is recommended that Advion Ant Bait Gel not be placed in areas where temperatures are above 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit. This will cause the bait to liquefy and lose its effectiveness.

  • Asked by Laura from Portland, Or
    08/27/2017
    Q
    What is the safest way to use Advion Ant Bait Gel in the kitchen?
    Is it safe to put bait (on a slip of paper) on the counter behind our toaster in the kitchen -- which is next to the stove, silverware drawer, microwave, etc.? The ants are walking into the bait and then immediately all over the stove and nearby counters/food prep areas...
    A

    We would not recommend placing Advion Ant Bait Gel on any porous surfaces like paper as it will absorb the moisture of the bait and cause it to dry out faster.  You can place the bait in a Bait Plate Station instead.  The small amount the ants pick up after eating/contacting would not contaminate other surfaces.  We do have a great video here for helpful tips on baiting.

  • Asked by Jessica from Merrimack, Nh
    05/05/2015
    Q
    Can Advion Ant Bait Gel be used in crevice at copper piping location?
    The ants are coming up through the base board heating system on the copper piping. The heater is currently not in use but I want to make sure when the winter season comes the heater can be used without fear of fire due to advion gel in the crevice.
    A
    You may use Advion Ant Bait Gel around copper pipes but I would advise against putting gel inside of a baseboard heating system. You should be able to put small dabs of the gel around the baseboard heating system without putting it inside and the ants will still seek out and consume the bait.

  • Asked by Mj from Costa Mesa, Calif
    06/29/2012
    Q
    Does Advion Ant Bait gel kill thief ants that bite? Should I use gel bait and spray in newborns room?
    Is it better to use spray or gel or both? In newborn infants room and do not seem to be anywhere else in house.
    A
    Advion Ant Bait gel is specifically labeled to help eliminate Thief ants. Be sure to read the product label for complete usage instructions. We would recommend using the ant bait gel in the babies room and keeping sprays outdoors around any door frames, window frames, places where cables, pipes or wires enter through the structure and also around the bottom of the foundation. Since ants typically still go outside to get moisture or food, the spray will help to get rid of them and it will also stop new insects from moving in.

  • Asked by Jim from Florida
    10/07/2013
    Q
    What is the size of the Advion Ant Bait Gel tubes? What is the size of the liquid you offer for flying ants?
    A
    Advion Ant Bait Gel comes in 30 gram tubes and there are 4 tubes per box. Flying ants are just regular ants that are leaving to start a new colony. Indoors these ants will not be able to complete their mission to start a new colony and will soon die on their own. If they are a nuisance to you, you can use pyrethrin aerosol such as Microcare to knock them down. If indeed you do have flying ants indoors this could also mean that you have an ant colony in a wall void of in some other inaccessible area indoors. You could try to put a little peanut butter and a little honey on a piece of foil near where you are seeing ant activity to see if they will start trailing. If they do form a trail this could point to where they are nesting. You will also be able to switch out the peanut butter and honey for ant bait which in turn will eliminate the nesting ants.

  • Asked by Monetta from San Diego
    07/09/2015
    Q
    How is Advion Ant Bait Gel Applied indoors?
    A

    Indoor applications of Advion Ant Bait Gel can include cracks and crevices; along walls or floors, in and around furniture and cabinetry, behind or under appliances, around sinks, within or near garbage collection areas, attics and crawl spaces. Inspect applications periodically for consumption/activity and apply additional bait as needed. Do not apply to surfaces that food contacts or to areas that are routinely washed, such as food preparation surfaces. Do not apply Advion Ant Bait Gel to surfaces where the temperature exceeds 120-130 degrees F because this could cause the bait to liquefy and lose effectiveness. Placements of bait should be small pea sized placements 6-12 inches apart in previously listed areas. Please follow the product label for safety concerns. There is also a helpful baiting video on the product page if you scroll down into the text.

  • Asked by Gail from Kapaa, Kauai, Hi
    06/15/2016
    Q
    After my house was treated for termites, ants moved into the old mud tubes that the termites left behind. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the ants?
    I have house cats and a small dog, so I need products that are pet safe.
    A

    Depending on what type of ants you are dealing with, and if you are able to see where the ants are trailing inside, it may be possible to treat with an ant bait gel such as Advion.  The bait is very attractive to ants and offers a delayed reaction which allows the ants to get back to their colony where they will spread it.  Another option would be to use a spray such as Phantom II, which has a transfer effect, allowing insects to pick up the product and spread it to one another through contact.  All of these products are pet safe if used as directed.

    Q
    Ants have been coming and going to and from the Advion Ant Bait Gel bait site for 30-40 days. When can I see an end to this process?
    A

    How long it takes for Advion Ant Bait Gel to completely kill the ant colony depends on the size of the colony and how many colonies you are actually dealing with.  You should continue to bait as long as there is activity.  It can also depend on the type of ants you are dealing with.

    Advion Ant Bait Gel may be applied to pest entry sites such as along windows, doors, between construction elements, sewer areas, adjacent trees which ants are using as a nesting site, along walls, garbage holding areas, or other places acting as an ant nesting site.
