Why are the carpenter ants ignoring Gourmet Ant Bait Gel?

Ants nutritional needs change frequently. This means that one day they may only forage for proteins, like Advance Carpenter ant bait granules and another day they may forage for carbohydrates like the Gourmet ant bait gel or liquid. We recommend leaving the gel in place and allow the ants to continue their natural foraging. We also recommend using Advance Carpenter ant bait granules in the same area where you placed the gel to allow the ants to select the bait that fits their needs.

Q

What is a good way to clean the gel up after it has been applied?
How long should you wait before cleaning it up? A few days?

A

If the gel is still wet then you can clean it up using a damp paper towel. If the gel has hardened, then a butter knife or something to scrape up most of it and then use a wet paper towel to get up the residual left on the surface.

All ants need protein and sugar in addition to moisture to survive. Gourmet ant bait gel is effective on any ant that is looking for a sugar and/or protein. The ant that most gel baits do not work on is fire ants, because they pretty much are protein feeders only and typically do not trial inside house. For all other ants though that may be getting into your house, gourmet ant bait gel should be attractive to them as long as they are looking for sugar and/or moisture.

Gourmet Ant Bait Gel is effective against all common types of household ants, including carpenter ants. Inside a home it will typically last about 2 -3 weeks before it gets too hard for ants to eat. This product is mainly meant to be applied inside the home; however you can use it outside. It will not last very long outside, especially if left in the sun, it will dry out quickly. You should only apply this product if and when you have ant activity. This product is a bait and is meant to attract ants, so you would not want to place it inside unless you had activity.

Q

How do I apply Gourmet Ant Bait Gel?
I have the remainder of the Gourmet Ant Bait Gel I used awhile back and can't remember how to use it. The ants are on my kitchen counter. Do I apply it in ribbons in the cracks between the counter space and back splash? Also, I have 2 small dogs. Just keep it away from them, correct? Your prompt response is most appreciated.

Basically, you apply Gourmet Ant Bait Gel in small "dabs", pencil eraser sized pieces where you see ant activity. You should keep the product away from pets and children. One note: The gel can become stale after awhile once it has been opened. Usually it will only last about 6 months. If you apply the remainder of this product and the ants do not seem to notice or take the product, then it might be too old and you will have to get a fresh tube.

Q

Is Gourmet Ant Bait Gel harmful to pets?

A

Gourmet Ant Bait Gel should be applied in areas that are inaccesible to children and pets. We suggest also applying the gel in bait plate stations. The active ingredient is a borate and only affects insects that ingest it because their stomach chemistry is different than that of mammals.

Repeat placement of the bait until satisfactory control has been achieved. Remember, For long term control or for heavy infestations, Gourmet Ant Bait Gel may be used in Ant Café or other similar bait stations.
