Customer Reviews for Maxforce Ant Bait Granular

We had argentine ants (little brownish-black ants) trailing into our kitchen around the sink area that we couldn't seem to get rid of. They were going after food and crumbs so I dumped out a small little pile of Maxforce ant bait right near the sink where they were foraging. I dumped another little pile on the floor under the sink where I saw more ants. They didn't seem to take to the pile on the floor but they immediately went after the pile on the counter by the sink and started carrying it away (I'd definitely recommend trying in more than one spot if they don't take to the bait right away). In the morning I checked the pile on the counter and it was almost completely gone, so I poured out more bait in the same spot the next night. The ants kept eating it and by the third day they were completely gone! We never saw another ant in the kitchen again! Worked as advertised and I'd highly recommend this stuff. We have 3/4 jar left so I even have bait left for next time!

Maxforce Ant Bait Granular is the only product we have successfully found to get rid of red ants. We had four ant hills in our yard since moving in 3 years ago. We tried digging up the queen, hot water and other products to no avail. Now our family and friends can enjoy our backyard without being bitten.

This is a great product. Just sprinkle around the outside of your house and no more bugs/roaches of any sort (even the great big ones that try to come in when it's dry outside). I use it about once a quarter and cannot remember the last time I saw a roach. I have used this product for at least 5 years and have no complaints. It seems expensive but a little goes a LONG way and once you start using this you can fire your exterminator. A sprinkle is really only a few tablespoons. It does not have any smell once dispensed and stores well. I live in a 1940's era house with lots of ways for bugs to get in and I have NO bug/roach problems at all. I cannot speak for ants, as I have never had an ant problem (but maybe that speaks for this product, too).

I have used Maxforce Ant Bait for ant control for about 5 years now and it is the best. Every July we get ants in the house. One application around the house and they are gone.

I have used Maxforce Granular Ant Bait both indoors and outdoors. Ants seem to love this stuff. They carry it away and in a short period of time, no more ants. I recently had ants invading a pantry, getting into open boxes of cereal and crackers. I removed all food items from the pantry, placed about 1/2 teaspoon of ant bait near the crack where the ants were coming in. By the next morining all the granuals were gone and so were the ants.

I have used Maxforce in the past for carpenter ants.  It is the best product that I have ever used. Gets rid of the ants within days.  They seem to carry it back to the nest and I usually do not see any more. THE BEST!!

Every year I have a problem with ants that seem to be after water. They would get in my dishwasher, go through the wash cycle and after I opened the door they would coming crawling out. I put the granules at the back of the sink area and in two days no more ants. I am very pleased with your product and have ordered it for my friends.

Had been using all kinds and types of ant killer products for over a year with only marginal success. Was given a sample of Maxforce to try at the cabin by a friend and they were totally gone in 2 days. I then bought my own and used it at my home with the same results. That was 2 to 4 months ago and still no ants at either place. The other amazing thing is that it took only a fraction of Maxforce placed behind floor molding in about 5 areas inside of my 3000 sq. ft. home and I still have tons of product left. I will never waste my $ on any other product again.

I am an environmental scientist who has used this product for years, due to its low environmental toxicity and safety, and equally important, its effectiveness. We live rurally and do not want the wildlife or our dogs exposed to dangerous chemicals such as those found in Raid, etc. When we begin to see trails of ants around our home, we sprinkle the bait along the base of the house and in cracks or ant hills. Within three to four days, the ant population has reduced by about 80%, and within 5 days to a week, they are gone, and they stay gone until the next season!  It is great in that it wipes out the ant nests, not just the ants that are usually seen so it is a wonderful product and safe.

This is the best product to protect your home and yard from those little ants, it works just the first day and lasts a long long time. I have tried everything before and did not work.

I have used this product for many years and think it is the best thing on the market. It is the only thing I have ever used that eliminated the tiny ants found in Florida.

As soon as you put this stuff down, the ants start to eat it up. Soon, they disappear. I am not sure, however, if they actually die or they just uproot and go somewhere else, because shortly after one ant hill goes away, another shows up in a different location around our 1 acre lot. All in all, I really like it though, and apparently so do the ants.

Pest control companies want to spray inside my house with toxic and possibly carcinogenic chemicals. They also want to get inside my wallet, with monthly service. Instead, I just sprinkle this ant bait around the outside of the house, usually near the kitchen. The queen eats it and croaks. Ants disappear in a day or two. It has worked on first application every year but one in the last decade.

Used the granules for years. It always works. Now they have replaced this product with another that claims to control all the different kinds of ants. I believe it is the granule mixed with the powder. Tried the powder years ago with no success. Wish they had left the product as granular only. Have not tried the mix yet.

Did not seem to work on the small ants that build berms in the soil. Not what I hoped for.

After setting up several baits stations around the house, it does not seem to be attracting ants after 2 weeks. Ants walk past it!

I used Maxforce in combination with Advion Gel (See my SHOCK & AWE review). I believe it was helpful in poisoning the colony and I will use it again should(when) the ants return. It is most useful where the gel can not be applied properly,i.e. deep cracks, between deck boards, thick ground cover, etc.

If you are having a problem with ants and can't keep them away, you must try this bait. We put very little around the outside base of our house and within 2 days you don't see a one anywhere. Our neighbor stores his plastic & glass bottles beside our fence which attracts ants from the sweet products. We only put it down about every year & a half to control them all the time. Best stuff we have ever found and wouldn't live without it. Try it yourself. You won't believe it.

This is a great product. It is really good for roaches also. Please do continue to make this product. This is a whole lot better than Maxforce Complete,which did not do nothing for me.

This is what the Pro's use and it works great. Put some in the dispenser and leave .Also use the Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel on the inside of the house it draws the ants to it and they take it back to the colony.End of the Ants !!!

Since moving into our new home two years ago, I'd been fighting tiny black ants in the crack between our garage concrete slab and the blacktop driveway, and tried a number remedies, home style (salt, hot water, clorox) and commercial (Raid). Nothing got rid of them. Then I found you online and ordered your Ant Bait product. I applied it rather sparingly in the affected areas, and truly have not seen an ant since. Wow! It works!

Our kitchen and sunroom were the places the ants selected. I placed the granules in a flat plastic lid which I had cut in half since the ants would approach the bait from that cut end and crawl up over the thin edge. Most successful were in places along the floor under the counter and along the many window sills in the sun room. I've had to do this 3 or 4 times a year and just check the lids now and then. Last year we placed plastic under the house and the two methods used at the same time, helped us succeed. in Northern Calif along the coast where we get a lot of moisture.

We recently re-ordered this same product, as we found it effective and very easy to use. Our use is primarily under a couple of windows where ants seem to gain entry, but we also use it over ant mounds in the yard.

I just put down a perimeter coating. Getting black ants in front room especially. Seems as though more are appearing after I applied the granular killer to the outside and inside under the heating registers. Is this normal and how long before I see a result? Thanks
