Customer Reviews for Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel

i bought the pellets and the gel. The carpenter ants ignored the pellets but went wild for the gel! I haven't seen any ants since applying, so hopefully they are all gone. Great product!

Used for Carpenters with ADVANCE, but used it on small sweet eaters marching up the corner of house from ground to moist gutter nest behind gutter....smeared it on the corner they were coming up....amazing defeat for ants....hope colony was taken down...if so, this is a huge leap ahead of "just killing them with spray." We shall see next few months...will re-apply if so.

I noticed a huge reduction in the number of ants in the first week. Now the entire population of both colonies seem to be gone. I appreciate how quickly this product worked.

I.ve used 2 tubes of the carpenter ant formula( in the tubes) and I no longer see any ants except dead ants. I have killed, manually, several queens and males with wings that have been almost unable to move. However, I found that carpenter ant foragers don't follow a trail to find food so I hand fed each one as I saw them. They, evidently, took the poison back to the colony and now I have no carpenter ant activity where I had several ants before. The granules did nothing but the sweet stuff killed the entire colony. I used 2 tubes and hand fed each ant. It worked. No more carpenter ants, It also worked with sugar ants by placing the poison next to their trails and they too are gone. Great stuff!

We have struggled with carpenter ants since moving into our home 22 years ago. This was the first year we actually had them inside the house. There were hundreds coming in. We got some stuff locally called "Hasta La Vista Ants" that did nothing. I found your website and saw the Maxforce carpenter ant gel and ordered it immediately. We got it a few days later and it took only 1 application. They gobbled it up like crazy. We applied more before we went to bed that night but they didn't eat it. We had a few stragglers for a couple of days but basically that first application did it. I will recommend this product to anyone who listens. We have tried so many different things over the years and there is NOTHING that works like this product.

I have used this product on 2 separate occasions years apart, but the result was the same!!! We have some large trees in the back yard and the ants seem to come in the house after a snow storm or tree trimming. This bait gel cleaned up our ant problem within days both times. Awesome stuff!

Our garage was built twenty years ago and is surrounded by lots of brush and trees . We noticed some damage in the beams and under the wall shakes ,when the wood was pulled away hundreds of carpenter ants swarmed out . I put down the Maxforce carpenter bait gel around them and they ate every last bit . We replaced the parts of beams and siding damaged and on daily inspection haven't seen any ants since.

Loved it! The ants feasted on it and within a few days, we have not seen the masses of them. The hardest part was to actually let them crawl around and eat. I had to resist the urge to stomp on them. Once in a while we will find a lethargic one here or there and we just put it out of it's misery. We have not looked for the nest yet, but figure they must be dead since we do not see them anymore. Great stuff!

I was seeing one maybe two Carpenter Ants in my side powder room. Mentioned to a friend and he recommended this product. Didn't feel the ants were a problem other than a one or two ants a night. I put this stuff on a old piece of plastic, under the toilet. About a 1/2 hour later, I seen an ant running on the floor, I tossed him over next to the stuff, he ran right to it, there was ALREADY FOUR OTHERS THERE. I woke up at 2:00 am and I turned the light on. There must have been 30 in a pile on top of the stuff. going in and out the hole in the molding by the toilet. FEASTING! Put the stuff out for two days after and didn't see any ants. In two days I started to see the aftermath bodies, in a week, THEY ARE GONE! Patched the hole in molding and I am VERY HAPPY! Worth every penny!

Put out gel as well as the dry bait so they had a choice. Hardest part was letting ants feed without stepping on them. They took back to nest. Within two days no sign of ants. Has been two weeks now and still no ants. Nothing I tried before even made a difference. Great product.

I bought the MAXFORCE ant gel from domyownpestcontrol.com last year and boy did it do the trick. The ants loved the stuff and within a few days - no more ants. Early this year I bought the MAXFORCE product from a different on-line retailer and the material I got was not a gel, but a liquid and it did not work. :( I am assuming it was old stock from a poor retailer. So, I placed an order from domyownpestcontrol.com again, and the ants are no more. This stuff works, but buy it from domyownpestcontrol.com.

Looks like it did great killing the ants inside my walls. I saw 2/3 ants eating the stuff and 1/3 of them scooping it up and throwing it away. (not sure if the ones that were just moving it were poisoned by touching it..) Either way, there are dead ants all over the place. The three other baits I bought at the hardware store did nothing, so this was great. I think I finally found the outside nest and now need to figure out how to destroy it completely.

I'm writing this to tack on to my other review from June. I noticed a ton of ants outside (still none inside, yay!) on my deck just waiting for us to open our sliding glass door. Literally, I would open my door and they would run towards it. As soon as I shut it, they would re-direct. I placed several dots outside on the deck where I saw them most frequently (about the size of a dime or nickel). This was during the day after work. At first they wouldn't go near it, but I remember someones review saying they liked honey and sugary things. I took a small sugar supply outside (separate from my major source so it wasn't contaminated) and sprinkled each dot with sugar. Of course I couldn't get it on the dot perfectly, but that's what was perfect about it; the sugar that didn't make it on to the dot attracted the ants to it. They attacked within seconds and the dots were gone by later that night! I haven't seen ants on my deck since. :) While I know that this isn't going to permanently get rid of them (I know they have a nest or two somewhere!! plus my neighbors most likely have them as well), I'm going to buy the Termidor in the spring and do a major treatment. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! I've referred several people as well because I love it so much!

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.

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 spend some time watching them (rather than killing them) to figure out where they were coming from before putting it out. That seems to be the key with these little pests.

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 night to see where they were going and found a few nests. After putting it out near the nests and various other places, there were no more ants. It really worked well for us!

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.

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 taking the bait but after only three days, the ants disappeared. I am very happy with the results.

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 being able to inject it in tiny openings along the ridge. We went back up a month later to find hundreds, maybe thousands of dead ants everywhere - so many that I worry a little about the structural integrity of the house.

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 the ants immediately started eating it. The second day I counted maybe 5-10 ants on the tree. Day 3 and to-date, no ants. It has been over 2 weeks and still no ants. Wonderful product that's easy, quick acting and effective. Plus, you can apply the gel higher up on the tree which is safer for children and pets.

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 activity on day 3. I saw only 2 ants. After day 3 I have not seen any ants and it is day 8. I had a professional service trying to kill the ants for the last 3 years. Use these 2 products and read the labels. Do not interfere with their direct path to the nest. THIS STUFF WORKS!!!

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 with relative certainty, the nest site (at least one nest site).  Our walls are tongue and groove pine paneling so I knew from the start it was going to be tough to poison them. I did some research on the web and decided on MaxForce gel because of the syringe applicator. After two weeks there is no new saw dust. I am ready to do the second dose and I am quite confident that Maxforce has done a great job! Signed "sleeping better at night".

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!

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 gone. Awesome product.

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 just ate that and moved on, I put max force on small aluminum foil squares and ants were totally wiped out in three days. It worked for me.

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.

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 problem. I will continue to use it and hopefully will continue to not have a black ant problem. Thank you!!

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 the cost of doing it yourself.

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, those were different colonies and we have more than enough to do those also.
