Customer Reviews for Maxforce Ant Bait Granular

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.

I put the granules down inside and out 2 weeks ago. I still see an occasional ant in the treated areas but not nearly as many as there were.

"MaxForce Granular" seems to be much more effective with Carpenter Ants in California than "MaxForce Complete" (which the ants ignored completely).

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.

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.
