    Q
    What product can I use to get rid of cut ants? I have used several products already with no success.
    The ant bed is about 8 ft.
    A
    Leaf cutter ants can be a difficult pest to get rid of. The colonies are large and the ants make their own food, so poison baits only have limited effects on this species of ants. According to several university websites Maxforce Ant Bait Granules containing hydramethylnon are some what effective, though they will usually eliminate only about 30% of a large colony in one treatment and will need to be reapplied several times.  Deltagard granules is one of the only products actually labeled for leaf cutter ants. The product label recommends treating the mound directly and lightly watering the granules in. Again, it may take several treatments to get the desired results. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to see if they have any recommendations for products that have worked for other people in your region.

  • Asked by Fabio from Miami, Fl

    Q
    I want to do some preventative work to my home in FL. I already have Termidor SC in my cart to do some preventive termite work outside as well, but i want to protect/prevent our attic, and some areas of the house. I was thinking these granulates could do the work?
    A

    No, Maxforce Complete Granular is not labeled for termites at all. When applied in a trench, Termidor SC would last up to 10 years in the soil. For treatment of drywood termites in the attic, you can apply Bora-Care on raw, natural wood. Once dried, if the wood is sealed the product will last for the life span of the wood.

    What method/spreader do I use to spread .5 ounce Maxforce Complete Granular Bait per 25 lineal feet?

    Maxforce Complete Granular Bait would just be sprinkled from the container.  You should not exceed 0.5 oz per 25 lineal feet.  Per the label: Sprinkle this product evenly in a 1 - 2 foot wide band adjacent to the structure at a rate of 0.5 oz (one tablespoon) of bait per 25 linear feet.

    Q
    Is there a specific time to apply Maxforce Complete Granular Bait for mole crickets?
    A

    Applying products soon after mole crickets hatch is the best time to control them, and this will happen in early summer. Maxforce Complete Granular Bait is labeled for crickets, but we offer other products that may be more effective for mole crickets. Please take a look at our article on How to Get Rid of Mole Crickets for more information on specific products and treatment options.

  • Asked by Cindy from Florida
    11/11/2020
    Q
    Can you put Maxforce Complete Granular Bait down in the rain?
    A

    Rain can cause the Maxforce Complete Granular Bait to wash away or get moldy which makes it less attractive. You should not apply this or other granules during precipitation. We do recommend re-applying the bait after heavy rains.

  • Asked by Mark from Sidney, Nebraska

    Q
    Can Maxforce Complete Granular Bait be used indoors inside bait stations for 1/8th inch very dark brown to black ants? These ants swarm from under baseboards onto carpeted areas.
    Will MaxForce granular work in indoor bait stations? We have approx, 1/8th inch very dark brown to black ants that swarm from under baseboards onto carpeted areas. As a kid we used to call them either sugar ants or piss ants. Would like to use bait stations around small indoor dogs. Recommendation?
    A

    Yes, Maxforce Complete Granular Bait is labeled to be used for a variety of species of ants and will work great in the Bait Plate Stations for indoor use. These Bait Plate Stations allows insects to access both a granule bait and gel bait in one station for their dietary needs.  

    Maxforce Complete Granular Bait is safe for pets when applied as directed. In addition to treating indoors, Maxforce Complete Brand Granular Insect Bait may be sprinkled around structures and/or applied to refillable/serviceable bait stations as outlined below. Be sure to treat areas where target insects have been observed such as porches, patios, driveways, sidewalks, flower gardens, landscape timbers and around trees, wood piles, air conditioning units and garbage receptacles. I've provided the link to the recommend bait stations below. 

    Please review our Ant Identification Guide for information on how to identify the specific any species you have. Using a residual spray both inside the home as well as the exterior foundation of the home would also be a good addition to an Ant Treatment Program.

    Q
    I have sprayed... everywhere, and now want to also use a bait, will this still be effective?
    I have also have a questionable vent in my bathroom (it could be a non working heater), it doesn't blow air, that I want to apply this in. As most of the dead roaches I've seen have been around the bathroom area. But I did also spray it. If I cant use this due to the spray, how long do I have to wait for the spray to calm down for this product to be effective? I'm trying to kill American roaches in a studio I just moved into.
    A

    Yes, you could use Maxforce Complete Granular Bait anytime, you just would not want to apply sprays on top of bait placements or vice versa. It should not be the only product used for eradication. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article 'How to Get Rid of Roaches' for more helpful information on eliminating this insect.

    Q
    Is there a best practice for using Maxforce Complete Granular Bait as a perimeter defense against American Cockroaches?
    My wife and kids go absolutely crazy when they see one IN the house even if it's already dieing from my interior exterior spray.
    A

    It is recommended to apply Maxforce Complete Granular Bait  about every 2 weeks or anytime the bait gets wet.  We would recommend using it with Bait Plate Stations outdoors to keep it from being contaminated by dirt or weather. 

    Treating the exterior perimeter also with a liquid concentrate such as Cyzmic CS would also help treat them before the get into the house.

    08/01/2021
    Q
    Does Maxforce Complete Granular Bait work on little black ants? If not, is there a product to use in it's place?
    A

    Maxforce Complete Granular Bait will work on any ant species that is foraging for proteins as that is the primary ingredient in the product. If you find the ants do not go to it, or they are not interested in proteins currently, then swapping to a sugar based bait such as Advion Ant Bait Gel would be a great alternative. You can also use both side by side in the same area for whichever nutrient need the ant colony has, that way they can pick them up in one spot and take it back to the colony.

    Q
    Will Maxforce Complete Granular Bait work on spiders in my yard?
    A

    No, the Maxforce Complete Granular Bait is not labeled for spiders.

    Demand CS would be a great choice for outdoor spider control. It will hold up well to UV rays and rain and because it is a micro-encapsulated insecticide, it works a little bit like a time released formula. For spiders, you would use 0.4 to 0.8 fl oz per gallon of water as directed on the product label.

    Q
    Is Maxforce Granular Bait safe to use around pets and fruit tree?
    I have a small backyard with lots of ants. They tend to be concentrated around my orange tree and chili plants. This is the same area which our small dog roams around in. I have tried several bait stations over several months with no success. 1) Is this product safe to use around the orange tree and chili plants? I would, of course, follow directions of sprinkling the recommended dosage in 1-2 feet wide bands. 2) Is this product safe around our small dog?
    A

    Maxforce Complete Granular Bait can be applied outside the drip line of fruit trees. This is safe for pets when applied as directed. It is such a small amount of active ingredient it should not harm pets.

    06/24/2019
    Q
    Does Maxforce Complete Granular Bait work on Termites too or do I need something different?
    A

    Maxforce Complete Granular Bait is not labeled for use on termites. Depending on whether you have subterranean or drywood termites, the treatment will vary. Subterranean termites require a trench treatment around the exterior foundation and drywood termites require treating the colony inside the wood directly.

    Please review our Subterranean Termite Treatment Guide and our Drywood Termite Treatment Guide to determine which method is best for your needs.
