    Q
    Which ant gel is better, Advion Ant Bait Gel or MaxForce FC Ant Bait Gel?
    A

    Advion Ant Bait Gel and MaxForce FC Ant Bait Gel are on a pretty even keel with each other. They are both very attractive to ants and offer a delayed reaction which allows the ants to get back to their colony and spread the bait. We can tell you that MaxForce FC Ant Bait Gel is a bit more popular wh…

    Q
    My Advion Ant Bait Gel label says REL 10/13. Is that an expiration date? Thank you.
    I just received item, and was just wondering if this item is expired. Thank you.
    A

    The code on most insecticides of any sort including Advion Ant Bait Gel will be an indicator to the manufacturer of what batch the product came from and when it was produced or packaged. The shelf life and expiration is all dependent on how you store the product once you receive it. The product you …

    Q
    Unopened tubes and expiration/potency of Advion Roach Bait Gel
    You say this stuff is good from one year after purchase. Does that include unopened tubes that are stored properly as I highly doubt I will need 4 tubes in one or two seasons? Will these unopened tubes be just as effective the next year or do they loose some of their potency? The REL date says 09/14 which must be the expiration date since any product like this would have an expiration indicated. I just received my package today.
    A

    The date on your tubes of Advion Roach Bait Gel is not an expiration date as professional insecticides and their shelf life is entirely dependent on how you stored it. The REL is referring to the release date, or the time in which that batch was packaged so they know if any problems occur when it wa…

    My dog ate some Advion Ant Bait, will it hurt her?
    My 100 lb lab ate one of the Advion Ant Bait Arena's. Will it harm her in any way?
    A

    We recommend that you contact your veterinarian. In most cases, an animal would have to eat very large quantities of ant bait gel for there to be any problem. The product label and the MSDS are always available on the Advion Ant Bait Gel page if you need to contact your veterinarian. In the future, …

    Q
    How do I remove and clean areas where Advion Ant Bait Gel has been applied?
    The gel has worked and is old. How do I remove and clean the residual without contaminating surrounding areas? Thank you.
    A

    To remove old Advion Gel you can first try hot soapy water. If that does not work vegetable oil takes it right up.

    Q
    Is it normal to see dead ends everywhere when using the Advion Ant Bait Gel?
    I have ants in my house and in a morning when I go to the kitchen I find little dead ant bodies littering the floor. They're everywhere. And then during the day, before my very eyes, they come out from under the baseboards, walk around a bit then roll up and die. Some ants also seem to pick up some of the dead bodies. Are they eating them? That's a side question but really I want to know if this is normal. Should I be seeing lots of dead ants all over the floor? Will this and eventually? Will this poison to kill the queen?
    A

    It is normal to see dead or dying ants during the ant baiting process with Advion Ant Bait Gel. Ants will have to succumb at some point after eating the bait and they are often "kicked out" of the colony after they start acting sick, thus you will see sick or dead ants. It is also normal to see live…

    Q
    I put gel out and ants are coming from all over kitchen counter to it. Do i kill or let them keep eating?
    A

    You must let the ants eat the Advion Ant Bait Gel and return to their colony where they will spread the bait to the other ants in order to eliminate them for good.  If you kill the ants while they are trailing over to the gel you will defeat the purpose of using the bait.

    Q
    Is Advion ant bait gel grease, oil or protein based?
    Different species of ants are attracted to different foods at different times. Can you tell me what the base for Advion is?
    A

    Advion Ant Bait Gel is a carbohydrate based gel. Ant feeding cycles can usually be broken into two catergories, carbohydrate (sweet or sugar) feeding ants or protein (meat, grease, oil) feeding ants. In general liquid and gel ant baits are sweet or carbohydrate based. Granule and solid baits (ant ba…

    Q
    How does Advion Ant Bait Gel work? What kills the ants?
    A

    Advion Ant Bait Gel takes advantage of the natural behavior of ants. 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 activ…

    Can Advion Ant Bait Gelt kill roaches?
    I accidently ordered Advion Ant Bait Gel, instead of Advion Roach Bait Gel.
    A

    The Advion Roach Bait Gel and the Advion Ant Bait Gel both have the same active ingredient but the inert ingredients are different and are designed to attract either roaches or ants only. They would not be interchangeable for either pest.

    Q
    How do you read the lot number or manufacturer date on Advion?
    A

    Syngenta, the manufacturer of Advion, moved away from having a REL(release) date on their baits and they now come with a Lot # that corresponds to the production of that product. The first 3 letters will usually be "ABW" which can be ignored as this corresponds to the facility the batch was produced…

    Q
    How do I get the advion gel bait out of the tube? Do I cut the red tip?
    Two additional red tips came in the package with no instructions on how to get gel out. I have tried to twist off the red tip to no avail. Do I cut the tip? What are the two longer tips for?
    A

    The red tip that comes on the Advion Gel Bait tubes is a cap that screws off. Once the red cap is off you can screw on one of the red application tips. The application tip is used to help get the gel directly into cracks and crevices where it is supposed to be applied by putting down one small dot e…

  • Asked by Jess from Michigan
    03/01/2013
    Q
    When is the best time to apply Advion Ant Bait Gel?
    Should this be applied at night when less human traffic is in the house or in the morning when away at work? I have a 2 year old daughter and wife who would freak out seeing a bunch of ants all swarming to the gel. Also how long of a time period should we see ants flock to the gel and then dissipate? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    A

    You should place the gel directly into cracks and crevices near the areas where you are seeing activity so the children will not have access to the gel and it will stop the ants from being as visible to your wife and kids. Some ant species are more active during the day and some are more active at n…

    Q
    Do you have products that are effective against pharaoh ants?
    I noticed little ants in my kitchen, and I'm sure they are pharaoh ants based on a recent home improvement radio show here in Fort Wayne, IN. I haven't tried ant spray or anything else at this point because the "professional" on the show stated that would make the problem worse and the ants would branch off into separate colonies. I've tried Home Depot and Lowe's. Some of their products state on the package that they are NOT effective against pharaoh ants. I need a product that is specific to eradicating pharaoh ants.
    A

    We do carry several ant baits that are labeled for Pharaoh ant control. We recommend that you offer both a gel bait such as Advion ant bait gel as well as a granule bait such as the Advance 375A. Offering both baits will ensure that the ants will have their nutritional needs met and at least one of …

    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.
