Not Impressed
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
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
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!
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…

Not sure if this stuff works...
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
By Merlin in Park City, Utah on 07/11/2014
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…

Great stuff, we came home after being away for two weeks and found carpenter ants all through our kitchen drawers, cereal boxes and trash cans. After receiving this product, I watched the ants at nigh…

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
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:
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
Second time the charm
By Jeff in Detroit, MI on 08/21/2015
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.
Did the Job

I had a colony of carpenter ants somewhere in the walls of my house. Tried several "treatment and bait" options with no success until using the Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait. Did not observe many ants…

The best I've found
By Jim in Franklin, WI on 11/16/2016
We have an A-frame in the north woods and carpenter ants were all along the peak. I put granular ant killer in many places near the ridge to no avail. The advantage of using Maxforce Gel for me was be…

Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait worked in 2 days!
By Cheryl in Highland, MI on 08/10/2017
Had carpenter ants in my birch tree and used another product which didn't work. Bought this gel and drew a circle around each tree trunk so the ants had to run into it. As soon as I applied the gel th…

I used this product along with Advance Carpenter Ant Bait(Granules). The first 2 days the ants were all over the gel and other ants were taking the granules back to the nest. I noticed less ant activi…

My wife and I live in a log cabin sided post and beam home, so when I noticed black ants and saw dust on our bedroom window sill I was very concerned. After close inspection I found what I can say wit…

Works Well
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!
Great product
By Dennis in Long Island, NY on 06/22/2010
We had an issue with Carpenter Ants; I found they were coming in from under my patio door. I put some gel down in the gaps and actually watched the ants eat this gel up. Within one day....ants were go…

Didn't Work Well For Me
By Michael in Rochester, MA on 06/28/2010
Purchased this product because of the good reviews and the recommendation from a pest control company. Baited around each room and was surprised that the tube really doesn't go very far. The tube was …

I bought this because we had ants coming through the wall at a window, after doing a lot of homework this seemed the best product to control that. We had a hardware store brand ant bait out and they …

Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel
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…

carpenter ant bait
By Greg in Howell Mi. on 03/12/2012
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.
Seems to have worked
By David in Fort Lauderdale, FL. on 05/20/2012
I used this in conjunction with granular bait for a major ant infestation in my walls and ceiling. It seems to have worked. It took several days but the ants seem to be gone from the interior of the h…

By Ruth in nc on 08/14/2017
seems to work...have applied only once...it has been about 2 weeks and no signs of carpenter ants yet...so far so good
Worked great!
By Dan in Lauderdale on 08/26/2017
Used this along with Advance Carpenter Ant Bait. I put both near the carpenter ant nest. Ants were on both of these right away and the ants were all gone within 2 days. Works great.
Great product
By Barbara in Glenwood Landing on 08/30/2017
Since I have been using the black ant bait I have NOT seen a single black ant. I paid hundreds of dollars to an exterminator and it had temporary results. Your product has seemed to resolved the probl…

Great stuff!
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…

Works! We used both
By Thor in Western NC on 05/18/2018
We actually witnessed ants taking granules of the protein bait back to their nest(s) and rolling around in the sweet bait. Days later, no ants. Now, we did notice ants in other areas (acre + yard) so,…
