By Anonymous in Ohio on 05/31/2013

I have to say that after placing numerous applications of Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel and watching the majority of carpenter ants, ignore the bait, I can not recommend it. I was hoping to get bett…

Carpenter Ant Gel
5 of 5 stars
By Anonymous in New Jersey on 08/13/2013

This stuff is awesome. It takes a little while (in my case about 2 - 3 weeks) before all of the ants are eradicated, BUT it definitely works.

Carpenter ants are still active
3 of 5 stars
By Anonymous in Hampton, NH on 08/21/2013

I'm on my second order of Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel. I've been using it for 3 weeks. It knocks the ants down and their dust & shavings lessen, but if I do not apply the bait for two or three day…

Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel Works!
5 of 5 stars
By Nick in Riverview, FL on 06/23/2014

Eliminated carpenter ants in just a few days. I found that they were coming in from the attic and put the gel near the source. Gone in 3 days. Don't call an exterminator if you don't have to. I did sp…

By Tony in Maine on 07/07/2014

I have put this bait down a number of times over the past few weeks. First, the ants don't seem to be the least bit interested in it. I have twice as many carpenter ants roaming around my house than I…

MER

It was absolutely worthless and a complete waste of money. The instructions said to place a small amount of the gel where the flying ants would carry it back to their nest but it just hardened and did…

No good

By Bill in Limington ME on 07/23/2014

Tried two - not one single carpenter ant took the bait. What a waste. Would not have given even 1 star, but they don't let you choose NO stars

Carpenter Ant bait gel
1 of 5 stars
By Wendy in Alford, Mass. on 10/15/2014

So far I haven't seen any evidence that they have eaten the product. No dead ants!!

Expert Response  Expert response:

If the ants are not foraging for sweets or carbohydrates, then they will not be attracted to the gel bait immediately. We recommend offering a protein bait, as well, such as the Advance Granular Carpenter Ant Bait, so that you are offering both food sources for which the ants may be foraging: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/advance-carpenter-ant-bait-p-173.html

First box of bait gel arrived CRUSHED by the USPS and was totally unusable. I immediately contacted customer service and they quickly sent out a second box which arrived in usable condition.

Works Well
5 of 5 stars
By Ken in 45342 on 06/22/2010

I have used half a tube and I would say 98% of the carpenter ants (outside- deck area) are gone. I think one more dose will eliminate the rest. I highly recommend!

Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel
4 of 5 stars
By Carol in Dallas, TX on 10/12/2011

Actually worked very well. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is I want to withhold judgement until I see the ants are gone for good. The gel worked great. I traced the ants back along the kit…

The product seems to kill a few ants, but in the end we still have them like mad. Not sure what to expect but I wanted better results.

By Mike in Corning, NY on 05/11/2018

Carpenter ants love this stuff. They circle up and feed on it voraciously and all activity ceases within 48 hours. Don't call an exterminator who will merely use the same gel and charge five times…
