Customer Reviews for Advion Ant Bait Gel

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.

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 dove in without hesitation. Problem is they died in the gel or shortly thereafter. There was no delayed action where they would bring it back to the nest as advertised. I had dead ants all over the driveway, but three tubes later, the nest is still active.

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!

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.

I read the reviews on this product as it related to sugar ants. I followed the instructions, put dots of gel where the ants were, they ate it, but they still kept coming. I have been using it for about 2 weeks and the ants are still coming into the kitchen. It seems to work as good as Terro did; it seems to me that it may kill some adult ants, then the babies are born and follow the same trail back to my kitchen. The promo said this will kill the queen, but she still seems to be producing more ants.

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)

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.

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 Bait Gel along the baseboard in my dining room. They have been there for two days and the gel has not attracted a single ant. This products wasn't cheap. I expected better results for my $60.

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 not last. I have used one whole tube on the same ants and they are not going away. It’s like they line up to get more of it. I’d look for another product that actually kills them.

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.

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

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.

It did not work for 2 types of ants (little black and fire) we are having at our house. I used bait at the openings where they were coming in, and they did not want any of it. I made about 10 bait stations, replacing every few days.

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.

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.

I have ants in my kitchen. Teeny black ants. They stopped taking my usual bait, so I researched the Advion ant bait gel. It had great reviews so I bought some. The ants don't like it and will avoid even walking next to it. SO disappointed.
