Bait or Killer?
By Disappointed in Chicago, Illinois on 08/03/2011
Watched carpenter ants travel back and forth from the tree in front, up the driveway, and directly to the corner of the garage door. As soon as I applied the Advion Ant Gel Bait in their path, they do…

DuPont Advion
By D. in Auburn, WA on 06/22/2012
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.

Ants come back
By Ron in Albany, OR on 12/05/2014
Kills ants but they return in about 1 week. Original Dupont Advion Ant Bait Gel kills them.
Expert response:
Bait should be provided for ants as long as the will accept it. Some ant species can have very large or satellite colonies and may require multiple treatments. Although the manufacturer of Advion Ant Bait Gel is now Syngenta, the product has not changed, only the packaging.
Advion ant bait gel
By Stu in Plainview New York on 09/07/2015
Used it a few times not happy with the results they ants are still around
Expert response:
Ant bait should be used steadily until there is no new ant activity noticed for several days. The most common baiting failure is not applying enough bait to kill the entire colony. Please take a few moments to read our Ant Treatment guide to learn how to implement a successful ant program: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-ants-a-462.html
It does not work the way I expected!
By Andrea in Sebastian,FL on 04/17/2016
This does not work with carpenter ants inside the home. I am not sure if it was meant for them or not but I was disappointed.
Argentine Ants
By Tom in Parkvill, Md. on 05/31/2016
Tried Advion Bait gel. It does not work on these ants. It's been over a month and we still have these ants in the same location!
Dont waste your money
By Virginia in West chester on 10/15/2016
The ant poison bait attracts ants well; just doesn't seem to get rid of them. Have used for two weeks and they keep coming. Calling an exterminator.
Expert response:
We apologize you did not receive the needed results as quickly as you would have liked. It is important to note that some ant colonies have millions of ants and it can take several weeks to knockdown the population. As long as the ants are continuing to eat the bait and are still active, it is important to keep baiting. Most exterminators are going to use the same product for ant control and they may also add an insecticide spray such as Phantom for indoor/outdoor control or Termidor for outdoor control so you can get faster results. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. We are always happy to help!

By Gail in Springfield, Oregon on 07/15/2017

Does not work
By Christopher in MIAMI,Florida on 02/18/2019
I've been watching the ghost ants in my kitchen eat this stuff for the past three weeks and there is no sign of them slowing down. They eat the bait, I reapply but to no avail.
Expert response:
Thank you for your review. We apologize you have not received the expected results. It sounds like you may have a very large colony or multiple satellite colonies feeding off of the bait. If your ant trail to the bait has been consistent you want to continue to have fresh bait available to them as long as you see activity. If the nest location is unknown then the ants could be traveling as little as a few feet away from the bait to the nest, or up 30+ feet away from the bait. If you think part of the colony may be accessing food sources elsewhere as well as the bait this can play a part in how long it takes for them to be eliminated completely as well. If you haven't already, try placing a small dab of peanut butter on a piece of tin foil near the gel bait placement. If some of the colony starts going for it then that colony is also needing a protein source and not just a sugar source (the gel). A protein bait like Maxforce complete 8 oz would be a great option to pair with the gel. (https://www.domyown.com/maxforce-complete-granular-bait-p-1603.html)
Not the same
By Ronnie in Carl Junction mo on 07/05/2019
I ordered this bc I had a tube given to me 2-3 yrs ago and it would take care of an ant problem in just one or two applications. I was happy to find a place I could order more but my excitement did no…

Not sure
By Jim in Boerne Tx on 08/24/2019
The bate worked so well I'm not sure if I needed this one. At the time our ants were so bad my wife was staying with our daughter and I would have done anything to get rid of them.
Not so great
By Allan in Paducah, ky on 12/13/2019
Doesn't seem near as effective as my boric acid sugar homemade solution. Ants still coming to bait 3 weeks after first presentation.

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

Did nothing
By G in MN on 08/15/2020
Tried in traps next to anthills. After no results, I tried squirting it right on the hill itself, for 3 days in a row. Still zero results.
Poor Results
By Sam in Huntington Beach, California on 08/24/2020
If I left my dog's food dish on the floor, it would attract ants. One day, I left some dry kibble on my dining room floor and ants appeared within 30 minutes. I placed 3 containers of Advion Ant B…

Waste of money
By Rosalie in Andrews, Texas on 09/20/2021
Used it 3 times, didn't work at all. Just made a mess of gel on my sink area, and above on the wood. Finally called an exterminator.
Great ant food! Terrible ant killer.
By Michael in Ft lauderdale FL on 06/20/2022
Great food for ants. They absolutely love it and keep coming back for more, every moment of every day for over a month. Has not appeared to have killed any of them.
Expert response:
We apologize you did not achieve the intended results. As long as the ants are eating they bait they will die, you just will not always see dead ants. If you are continuing to have activity you should continue to bait and may just have a larger population in the area than expected. We would welcome the opportunity to troubleshoot the application to help get you the results you need. Please contact us at your earliest convenience!
Not again
By George in Inverness, Fl on 07/22/2022
Went thru the whole tube; they just kept on coming back and didn't kill them or the nest. Waste of money.

Carpenter Ants Won't Eat This

Expert response:
Carpenter ants do not typically go into stations It is best to apply small placements in cracks and crevices, especially where ants are seen foraging or entering the structure. Inspect gel placement and reapply as needed.
