    Q
    Can advion be used under the house as well as inside?
    A

    Yes, Advion Ant Bait Gel is labeled for places such as crawl spaces. We recommend using Bait Plate Stations if you plan on putting it out openly. Overall yes, baits would attract different species of ants, but as long as it is labeled for them they will take it back to their mound.

    Is this product pet friendly?

    Advion Ant Bait Gel will not harm your pets as long as you keep the bait out of reach of your pets and use the product as directed on the product label. Advion Ant Bait Gel can be applied in bait plate stations, cracks, crevises, and other areas that are inaccessible to your pets for the safest application.

    Q
    Is it normal to see ants eating Advion after three weeks?
    A
    Yes it is normal to still see activity on the Advion Ant Bait Gel 3 weeks after placement.  You should continue to bait as long as you see activity.  How long it will take to eliminate the ants completely depends on the size and number of colonies you are actually dealing with. We have a guide here that can help as well.

    Q
    Ants still not gone
    I have put the ant gel down four days ago now and they seem to still be the same amount there but they are also going to all other rooms now as well. Is it working or not ? What can I do
    A
    Advion Ant Bait Gel kills by transfer. Foraging worker ants are attracted to the sweet formula of the bait. After consuming the bait, the foraging ants will return to the nest and share the bait with the rest of the colony, including the queen(s). By ingesting the active ingredient Indoxacarb the ant's nervous system is disrupted, ultimately ending in death.  This  transfer effect can take minutes to hours and can take up to 21 days to start to see a huge difference in population depending on activity level. We recommend going over our Ant Pest Guide for more information on controlling ants in and around your home.

    Q
    I have started Advion Ant gel and Advanced protein indoors
    I have started Advion Ant gel and protein indoors for a week. We saw an increase of carpenter ants eating the baits. When can I expect the numbers to die down a little? Also, noticing loner ants dying and mostly non responsive. Are we supposed to wait until they are fully dead before removing them to the trash?
    A

    After using Advion Ant Bait Gel, it is typical to see more activity, which is a good thing as they are consuming the bait. It generally can take up to 30 days or before complete elimination depending the size of the colony and the number of colonies in the area.  You should continue to bait as long as you see activity

    Q
    I put Advion Ant Gel around the shower faucet. Will it remain effective if it gets wet?
    A

    You do not want to put Advion Ant Bait Gel where it will come in contact with water directly because it could reduce the attractiveness and effectiveness of the product and could just be washed off.

  • Asked by Destroyer from Orlando, Fl
    08/23/2022
    Q
    How far will ants travel to the bait?
    Curious the distance that ants will travel for the advion ant bait gel? If I put it in one corner of the room...will they travel from another corner 10 feet away? Wondering the distance we need to cover for the best results. Especially if they are within the walls and we don't know where exactly.
    A
    Advion Ant Bait Gel placements should be made where you have seen the ant activity, but they will travel several yards for a food source when they are actively foraging.  You can also refer to our Indoor & Outdoor Ant Treatment Guide for more recommendations, and you could consider treating the cracks and crevices indoors with a product like PT Phantom II for ant control.

    Q
    How to treat little ants and roaches inside a yacht?
    Have been seeing activity on a boat that came from the Bahamas about 5 days ago. Been seeing 3 live roaches and some ants around the kitchen. What do you recommend for bait treatment since I believe pesticides cannot be used inside boat?
    A

    While a bait gel such as the Advion could be used for ants and roaches, you may find better success with an application of Shockwave Aerosol  to the cracks and crevices of the boat where you've seen activity. Shockwave contains contact kill and residual ingredients, as well as an IGR to stop the reproductive cycle of the insects so they don't continue to grow in number. You can use the crack and crevice straw it comes with to spray into crevices of cabinets, storage, under appliances, etc, as long as you avoid any food prep surfaces and cover or remove any exposed food items or utensils before treating. Shockwave Aerosol is labeled for use on boats as long as label instructions are followed.

  • Asked by Chris from Hyannis, Massachusetts
    03/11/2022
    Q
    Why are ants attracted to Advion Ant Bait Gel?
    A

    Gel baits such as Advion Ant Bait Gel contains an insecticide along with a sugar based food attractant that appeals to foraging worker ants that are looking for sweet food sources.

    Foraging ants are in search of a sweet or protien food source depending on the needs of the colony therefore it is recommeneded when baiting for ants to offer both a sweet bait (gel) and a protein (granule) ant bait in the bait plate stations. 

    Please view our Ant Treatment Guide and Indoor Ant Baiting Kit for more information.

  • Asked by Chris from Hyannis Massachusetts
    03/10/2022
    Q
    As mentioned in your YouTube Video, what is the enzyme that Advion Ant Bait Gel interacts with? Is this considered a neurotoxin since it affects their nervous system?
    A

    The Advion Ant Bait Gel contains Indoxacarb, which is an oxadiazine pesticide originally manufactured and patented by DuPont.

    Please read over this article on the studies of Indoxacarb and the Mechanism of Toxicity. 

    In insects, indoxacarb is absorbed via ingestion with lesser amounts absorbed across the insect cuticle, and it is bioactivated by the cleaving of a carbomethoxy group from the parent compound. The active metabolite binds to and blocks voltage-dependent sodium channels within the insect nervous system, resulting in paralysis and death of the insect.

    Q
    How long should Advion Ant Bait Gel be reapplied if Carpenter Ants are still active after 2 applications over 17 days?
    I have seen a big difference in population after using the gel (Carpenter Ants) but they reappeared after a couple of days. This time they are actually reappearing but they look lost and sick/dying for a lot of them.
    A

    Advion Ant Bait Gel uses the non repellent active ingredient Indoxacarb which is a slow acting treatment that allows ants time to take the bait back to the colony and share with other ants. This is preferred for treating Carpenter Ants to ensure the entire colony receives the ant bait.

    Continue to use as many bait placements as needed to active foraging areas without disrupting the natural foraging behavior of the ant colony. This means placing bait gel just barely off the foraging trails and areas where you see them traveling. 

    Please view our Carpenter Ant Treatment Guide for more information.

  • Asked by Melanie from Timonium Nd
    08/14/2021
    Q
    What reasons would there be if using Advion Ant Bait Gel and the ants are not going into the bait traps nor taking the bait?
    A

    Advion Ant Bait Gel is a carbohydrate (sweet) bait. Ants are either looking for a protein or carbohydrate food source based on what dietary need the colony has. We recommend when baiting for ants to also use a granular (protein) bait so you are offering both food sources to meet the dietary needs. Our Bait Plate Stations will hold both gel and granular baits. 

    View our How to Get Rid of Ants Treatment Guide for more tips on baiting.
