Worked like a dream
By Brian on 04/24/2017
Carpenter ants showed up again at our house. It seemed a small infection. I decided to give it a go myself. Used this kit. The ants seemed to be traveling along the right side of my entrance door. I set up some of granule bait out there and a few locations in the house. Then put some of the gel up and down the side of the entrance way. WOW! Did they go for that stuff. I watched one any stop and check it out. An hour later, it seemed like half colony was out there chomping down on it. This went on for about 24 hours. I added gel occasionally and used almost one whole tube. A day later, I never saw another ant. Literally I haven't seen an ant in the house or anywhere around my entrance. Stuff worked so well, I wasn't almost skeptical. I think it eradicated the entire colony - which I suspect was living in the roof/eve area of my house. Worked great. I have plenty left for the future. I would recommend this kit.

Great product!

Rapidly took care of our indoor carpenter ant problem. The first day, the bait stations attracted oodles of ants - so many that it was hard to just watch them feed without spraying to get rid of them. By nightfall they were gone. We reloaded the baits, but the ants did not retun the next day and 2 weeks later, we haven't seen anymore. Thank you for solving a problem that was making us crazy!

Those annoying ants
By Dawgskool on 08/03/2018
Moved into a new home and there were carpenter ants mostly at the front of the home. I think it was moisture as the hose reel had most likely been dripping. Put the granules out along the front and front porch and inside on the window sills. The gel went in mostly the same places except on the inside I put it everywhere that was safe(we have a dog). Seemed to help but didn't really solve the problem. Plus its really hard to watch the ants eat and not swat them.

Worked well for my carpenter ant problem
By April on 03/13/2022
We started noticing winged insects crawling along our floor. Using DoMyOwn's pest identification, we were able to identify them as winged female carpenter ants. After receiving the Indoor Carpenter Ant Kit, we put out bait stations using both the granular protein bait and the sugar bait. Within a few hours the ants started to find the bait, eating both baits. We did have to move a few of the stations around so the ants would find them. Much to my delight, the ants would carry the little yellow pellets back to their nest. After about a week they stopped feeding. I then sprayed with the Temprid (included in the kit). After one more week, the ants were dying everywhere. Now, they seem to be gone. I still don't know where the ant nest is/was in our building so I would not have been to able spray the nest directly. This four part kit worked very well for our situation. When the weather improves, I plan to use the same method outside to try and eliminate the main nest. Thank you, DoMyOwn!

Carpenter Ant
By Joe on 07/21/2023
I used both baits. The granular and the gel. Ants walked over and around and weren't attracted to either at all. Waited a week and set bait out again. Same. Not one ant took the bait, Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed to say the least. I have a huge carpenter any problem and was hoping this worked.
Expert response:
Both ant baits are labeled for carpenter ants however the Advance Carpenter ant bait is all one size and formulated for this specific species. Baiting takes time even with carpenter ants and whether it is in or outside. Depending on the size of the colony and the number of colonies you are dealing it can take 30 days or more. Be sure to not place baits anywhere you may have sprayed to avoid contamination

Carpenter Ants
By Charles on 08/11/2023
We had a small problem with carpenter ants in the restroom building at our wedding venue. Ordered this product and followed the directions. As others stated, the first day ants were all around and in the traps. The next day, ants were nowhere to be found. It has been about 3 weeks now and we still have not seen any evidence of carpenter ants. Great product!!
Advion bait / killer was amazing
By Cash on 02/23/2024
The carpenter ants seemed bent on sweet stuff. I say that because of the three I found doing the Deadmans float in an apple juice glass that my wife left out one night. Knowing what they were after, I applied Advion ant bait/poison. About 30 or so showed up for a party. One of the ants doubled over and was still. The next day I found no ants anywhere. It's been several weeks now and my kitchen completely ant free. I have not used the remainder of the kit as of yet as I am waiting for Spring to come to remove more ants from our property.
