Customer Reviews for Advion Ant Bait Gel

Very disappointed. I have used this product in the past with great success. This time it had not effect. The solution was very watered down. Don't know if it was defective or if the product has changed. Any way, it had no effect. Disappointed.

  Expert response:
That can happen as they are not always looking for a sugar/carb protein. Advion Ant Bait Gel is highly appealing to sweet feeding ants. It is highly recommended to also use Advion Insect Granular Bait Insecticide or Maxforce Complete Granular Bait which are protein baits. You should always give ants a choice as they may be in the mood for either a protein (granule) or a sugar (gel) bait. Using Bait Plate Stations with your baits is an easy way to offer two different baits at one time.

I have issues with carpenter ants and sugar ants every spring. I like trying new products so I bought this instead of my usual, Amdro and Terro, which both work great. This product is very easy and convenient to use, but there was no decrease in the ant population.

  Expert response:
When treating for ants even "sugar" which is just for ants looking for sweets not a type, it's important to remember that ants go between 2 different types of tastes....sugar (which is the bait gel) and protein. If they're currently foraging for protein based foods, they'll avoid the gel bait, as it's sugar based. We always recommend getting both baits to offer them so you're always insured they'll be taking one of the 2 baits. You can view a great protein based granular bait here: https://www.domyown.com/maxforce-complete-granular-bait-p-1603.html I hope this information helps.

I had high hopes for this product and bought two cases but unfortunately it didn't do anything to attract the ants so they would carry the bait back to their colony.
