By Greg in Duarte, CA on 07/14/2014

Not for Thief ants
1 of 5 stars
By Anonymous in Miami, FL on 12/01/2011

The info said it was good bait for Thief ants. Really? How would a tiny Thief ant bite into a granule that is 5 times its size? These granules are HUGE compared to the size of these ants. Proof? I tr…

Argentine Ants
1 of 5 stars
By Jim in Rancho Cucamonga, CA on 10/26/2011

This product did nothing for them, Advance 37A5 worked better...They instantly picked it up and seemed to reduce them the next day...Stick to Cynoff and Termidor and such!!!

New ant colonies can move into areas that still have favorable conditions for ants after you have eliminated an existing ant colony. You can learn how to effectively reduce ant activity on your property by reading over our Ant Control Guide here: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/ant-inspection-guide-a-461.html

Works, but have to repeat frequently
5 of 5 stars
By Audrey in Dallas on 07/20/2018

1) This product worked immediately. Less than 24 hours, I began to see dying cockroaches. It took care of the problem quick. 2) The only downside is you have to reapply it every 2-3 weeks. Not really …

By Jack in Hueytown, Alabama on 09/30/2017

My ants love this stuff. They hauled it off and I haven't seen them since. I don't miss them at all. If they come back I will just offer them more to take home with them.

Little affect
2 of 5 stars
By Scooter in Georgia on 07/06/2015

The granules seem to be large for the ants that are attacking our home... Back to the drawing board.

Expert Response  Expert response:

Maxforce Complete Granules do a variety of sized granules in each container. The ants you are treating may be seeking sweets, so it is always a good idea to have a liquid or gel bait on hand. The items in our Indoor Ant Kit are great choices for most common ants indoors: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/indoor-ant-kit-p-14501.html

By Kathryn in Sf Bay Area, California on 09/25/2020

It was not very popular with the ants. I thought it would work better than the Terro liquid bait, which seemed to attract sweet seeking ants, and was not as effective as it was last season. The ants …

Ant killer
5 of 5 stars
By Kevin in Burlington NJ on 05/24/2013

I am use to the old formula. The new formula scared me at first because of the size of the granules they are larger, but ants are strong and all the ant hills are gone. The new formula works. It has b…
