Customer Reviews for Advion Ant Bait Gel

I'm certified GHP operator and I was giving this bait a try at customer home with ant problem. PRO: love gel bait you can put it anywhere with no running down walls. CON: didn't resolve ant problems, I watch ghost ants swarm the bait and 10 day later there still trailing at same location of bait and old bait still there. The tube was leaking through plunger and got all over my hands and it happened with all 4 tubes. Sorry I wasn't impressed. I had to use maxforce quantum to resolve ant problems at customer home.

I spent quite a few dollars on this ant candy. I've been feeding this army of ants for over 5 days and there still coming strong. This product dries up very fast. Once dried, the ants just walk around it. They like the liquid, not solid form. I have to constantly add fresh gel every 2 hours to make sure the ants keep feeding. I spoke with one of the reps and she said I should combine protein with the gel bait. The protein I used was tuna. It created a frenzy unlike the advion. Guess what? The ants are still here. Looking for a better product.

For three years I have been struggling in vain to defeat the small but mighty Argentine ant. Weak poisons from the big box store were no match for the huge expanding colonies that had become established around and IN my home. The tide of war turned when I discovered DoMyOwnPestControl. Advion Gel was my first attack weapon. I baited the ant's outdoor supply lines with drops and lines of the irresistible gel. The ants immediately swarmed and consumed the poison like thirsty Wildebeest flocking to the only watering hole for a thousand miles! I had to replenish the bait every day for 10 days. After the first 7 days the number of ants began to diminish. After two weeks of SHOCK by daily baiting, it was time to launch the phase 2, AWE, a.k.a. Termicide spray! I sprayed the entire outside perimeter of my house with Termicide and hit the ant colonies' trails and ground nest especially hard. VICTORY!!! The ants has been defeated.

The gel works great. I put the gel in a cut up straw to protect my pets, placed them on the ant trails and in less than 3 days, the ants were gone. I highly recommend it.

I have been using the bait for about 2 weeks and it is working great. Dead ants galore! I can't imagine anything working better. Well worth the money.

Within 10 minutes, ants were swarming on this product. We had a significant ant problem of multiple colonies in the house, and they were gone within ten day. Just get this one.

This was recommended by our pest control guy. It is the best thing we have tried to kill ants.

Had a big carpenter ant problem. We had started to use Advion Ant the previous season. We had an old window taken out to replace with a new one, and found the wall to be full of ants and part of the structure of the house was eaten away. Called Orkin - pricey and they didn't do much because it was in the fall. The guy saw the Advion and asked where we got it because he thought it wasn't readily available to the public. Turns out it's what Orkin uses. We replaced the wall and religiously use the Advion in all the places (dead tree stumps, etc.) where we see carpenter ants. They love the stuff, so hopefully we can keep things under control by feeding them regularly.

Anyone who thinks they can kill all their ants forever is delusional. The makers of ant poisons know this, although most of their products really do work. Advion ant gel will CONTROL a variety of ant populations, but extermination for long periods is impossible. If your neighbors have ants, no matter what you use or how diligent you are, you will have ants. It's a war we cannot win, but we can control them with Advion gel and granule bait. I live in Hawaii and have been at war for years. It requires diligence and perseverance, nearly daily. I avoid sprays as they kill my chameleons who try their best to eat all the ants. The ants always win. All we can do is control them while ensuring safety for our pets. Don't give up, just persevere.

Wow! Take time to read the product info, and understand that there will be NO victory. Control is all you will ever get with Advion or any other bait. If your neighbors are not controlling their ants you WILL have ants without end, as they move often and forage over large distances. You must be vigilant, diligent, and patient. So far Advion is the best you're going to get. I live in Hawaii and have been fighting several species of ants for years. Advion helps keep me in control.

Ants don't seem attracted to the gel at all. Put it in multiple baits stations and have seen ants crawl right past them.

They say that Redlands CA is one large ant hill. I believe they are right. Advion Ant Bait Gel is the only thing that I have found to work on ants.

I first heard about Advion when my pest control company used it on the outside of my house. I could not believe how it attracted ants who ate the bait, took it back to the nest and a few days later - NO ANTS. Now I walk around my house once a week to see if I see any ant trails and if so just put a small amount of Advion Ant Bait Gen near the opening and NO ANTS. What a great product. I will always have a supply of Advion on hand. No product I have ever used compares to Advion. NONE!!

I had an ant infestation,I tried aerosol,I tried bombs,I tried ant traps,i was losing the battle until I tried this gel.Awesome stuff! I placed a dab in food cabinets and also a cpl dabs in each of those worthless ant traps, strategically placing them on floors,window sills and counter tops., soon i was cleaning up so many dead ants it looked like a dustpan full of dirt.I think I even saw a white flag posted on one of the ant traps.I will definately purchase more as I deplete this shipment. One tube has lasted me over a month,4 tubes for 40 bucks is definately worth every penny!!!

I noticed some sugar ants in our condo by the microwave. I purchased the Advion Ant bait gel and I put some down the next time I saw them. I only noticed about 10 to 20 ants moving around. I put down the gel on some aluminum paper and in a few hours I checked on them. There were some ants on the gel and a lot more going up and down the cabinet. The next morning I checked again and there were none in sight. And I haven't seen any since.

Worked beautifully! The Argentine (sugar) ants went straight for it. Their numbers started decreasing within days, and a week later I saw no ants! yay!

Have had trouble with tiny ants inside the house and all around the outside foundation for years! Tried everything imaginable only to wake up and find a kitchen counter AGAIN covered with ants. Then I read about DUPONT ADVION ANT GET and bought the four tubes from this site. NO MORE ANTS!!!!! I placed it in strategic places around the inside and out, and just sat back and watched the ants go nuts for this stuff. The big temptation is to kill them, but don't. Do what it says...let them carry it back to the colony. In a day or two your ant problem is over. Buy it! You will not be sorry!

We need to wait until I have a chance to see if it works before asking me if it works. Are there ants, yes but it will take a little time. But, thanks for asking.

We love this stuff! It has always worked for us and we have shared/recommended it to several friends and family and they are amazed on how well it work. Find the source of where the ants are coming in at, put down an application and be amazed how many ants show up to eat. Then they are gone in just a day or two. Well worth the money. Package goes a long way.

Ants initially come running for this stuff but I believe the bait traps work better long term. Can't beat the price on this website.

This bait is the ONLY thing that we have tried and actually works. We have tried everything, from home remedies to sprays and baits and nothing worked until this one. Thank you do my own pest control!

This product is easy to apply (I put it on tongue depressors- this way it's easy to exchange old baits with fresh) and was effective on the Argentine ants that had been invading out house. Took about 3 days to reduce the ants by 95% or so. Whether the ant invasions are gone for good I don't yet know, but so far so good. I'm maintaining a few of my bait stations for now. Customer service was helpful and responsive, too.

The ants immediately started consuming and transporting the bait to their nest. Over the next few days, the ant population dwindled and now I see no evidence of any ants. This is by far the best bait I have ever used. The ants I used it on were sugar ants or Pharaoh ants here in Florida.

The tiny ants we have were identified as Pharaoh ants. They seem to have 4 colonies in the house. They do 'like' the gel and will swarm all over it. Problem is that they will then disappear for a day, but next day they are back again. Fewer each time, for sure, but it's been a couple weeks now and we were hoping they'd be totally gone by now. We'll keep trying.

I have purchased this item twice for my house and for my sisters with excellent results at both places. It is very easy to use and extremely effective. About a month after the first treatment we had a few ants again but a very small amount to rid the home of the ants
