Customer Reviews for Maxforce Complete Granular Bait

My hummingbird feeder is back! The ants had been so bad that we had to take the bird feeders down. After using the maxforce we can enjoy the birds & the patio again. I used to use this product years ago when I worked in pest control. I was so happy to find it online. The best part is I can "do it myself". Thanks

I've read the reviews and most are positive, however this did not work for me. Maxforce with the yellow or green label worked best for me. I've been using maxforce for about 8 years and have had no complaints until I was forced to try this "Maxforce Complete" version. I saw roaches in my kitchen 2 months after putting down this version of maxforce. When I use Maxforce with the green label or yellow label I see absolutely no roaches and I apply it about every 10 months. Unfortunately the manufacturer has decided to discontinue the best version of maxforce with the yellow label and green label. This product just did not work for me the way the other maxforce product worked. Did not like this at all.

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 been about 2 years since I last treated with the old stuff and after the 2nd application all evidence of ants are gone. I live in the north east.

At first the application brought thousands more ants than we were already having, but I expected this. Now, it is two weeks later, and after two more applications, we are still having the ant problem. I placed them inside and outside the house. I know there is improvement, but now I've used up all the bait. My next move will be to go ahead and call the professionals in.

We have not seen as many ants outside our home since we sprinkled this product around the base of our foundation. I think the product is doing its job well.

This is the ONLY Product that I have ever seen work on German cockroaches that is available for purchase by the general public with no need to contact an exterminator.

I have Maxforce Complete Granular for about 3-years. Primary target pest is southern and red imported fire ants. I also use it for American cockroach control outdoors. It has performed to my expectations as have other Maxforce products.

I received my order within two days, which is awesome. The product itself cleared out my Argentine ants within three days. It's been over a week and still no ants. I highly recommend this for Argentine ants.

We were told about this product several years ago by a kind exerminator. Until recently we could purchase it locally but the company went out of business, that is when I checked the computer for sources, we have told many people about the product, it works so well and is easy to use. We place it near the foundation of the house outside going around the foundation. We seldom ever see an insect after using it. If we have severe rain which is rare in our area we again put down the product. I highly recommened it!

I was excited when my bait came in, ready to retaliate upon the pesky creatures that had been ransacking my home for weeks. I had already scoped out two well traveled trails they were currently using on the porch, poured two big piles (bout 1/4cup) next to post. The next morning the bait was nearly gone, the trails were literally 2 inches wide with ants going, packing off granules to their humble abode. I went ahead and rebaited just to do it and by the next day that pile was almost gone and the trail had diminished to only just a mere, few ants. No more waking up finding ants in kitchen or bathroom when weather gets cool or when it rains. All in all this stuff rocks. Thanks Do My Own Pest Control!!!

Seems to have killed all my pesky little black ants. Haven't seen a one for a week or more.

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 tried it. They totally ignored it, even when I mixed it with honey. But they readily took to a drop of some sweet ginger sauce. You can't even crush these granules to make something more the size of sugar. This has been a total waste of my money.

Like the title claims. After years of battling these little pests my issue was nuked in 24 hours. I simply allowed them to eat, eat, eat. A sprinkle did it, I then went outside and did the same. Just one question, however, any products for ex-wives? It is not cheap so I was expecting instant success. It will surely outlast Amdro, which ants eat and crap it out.

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!!!

Not one cricket in the house since I sprinkled this outside where I assumed they were coming in. Best purchase I ever made.

Did as instructed on container. No change in ant invasion after two weeks. Tried four locations in my home, the animals crawl all over the grains but I see no reduction of infestation. Will not purchase more product unless I see some positive results. Very much disappointed.

I don't use the product as a barrier around my house, because I currently use Bifen IT as my barrier product, so I only use this to control outside ants at their mound. But, Maxforce complete works great on other ants that are not even on the label!!! I had one or two fire ant mounds, but my biggest problem in my part of Florida is pyramid ants. Although pyramid ants are not listed on the label, Maxforce Complete knocked them all dead in a day or two! I have only one regret. I should have ordered 2-8 oz bottles to save money!

I've used it a couple of times for ants now. First time, we were getting the tiny ones in the house, we were told they were thief ants. Nothing from the hardware store would make a difference with them. I put this stuff inside a few stations around the areas we kept seeing them, it wasn't three days later and they were nowhere to be found. Second time I used them on another ant colony, this time it was in a tree stump that was partially buried in the back yard. I was attempting to dig it out when it nearly blew up with ants...the kind that bite and leave nasty hives. They were quite literally everywhere. I want no part of that, so I sprinkled this stuff all around the area as directed. A week later, I broke apart the stump and didn't find a single live ant. I've tried a number of products from the local hardware store with mixed results, all of them seem to only have a temporary effect. This stuff has had a very permanent one. It's more expensive than anything in the store, but in my opinion...worth every penny.

This stuff is great, great, great. After spreading pine bark mulch in my city backyard, I learned that I had created an awesome roach attraction. Lovely. I went out one night and giant (2") roaches were lumbering around all over my garden, and what's worse, they appeared to be mating. After looking at different products online, I ordered two bottles of this bait. Sprinkled one liberally over my mulch and in a perimeter around the house. After some heavy rains, I added some more about a week later. It's now about 2 weeks since application. Roaches? GONE. I noticed their numbers dwindle somewhat after the first application. Had I been more patient, maybe that would have been enough. But two definitely did the trick. I'll always keep this stuff in stock and once again feel comfortable sitting outside at night...No longer paranoid and looking for those giant suckers!

I had a serious infestation of huge American Cockroaches in my backyard. I was amazed with the results. Last year I paid $165 for a professional to spray, only to have a huge infestation the following summer. This year I spent less than twenty dollars with amazing results.

Ordered 2 containers of Maxforce Complete and 1 bottle of Termidor SC. My yard was full of ant hills and trails comming into the house. I used as directed and within 2 days no ants!!! That's been about 3 weeks, I'm now waiting to see how long before I need to retreat. I only used 1 container of the Maxforce and mixed the Termidor as directed. I have plenty left for retreatment when necessary.

This is a product i will Highly recommend to anyone, very effective and price economical. The fine Granular was the first i tried, it did wonders but i ran out of it this summer. As anyone ever tried using Maxforce Granular Bait in treating Bedbugs? It did worked for me. When i first had bedbug infestation last year, i used Maxforce Granular which i had bought for roaches and it did the magic. These products saved me $$$.

The MaxForce is working way beyond my expectations. I sprinkle the area with this bait and in 3 days the nest is DEAD. I walk around my acre yard and when I find any nest I sprinkle it. The last two years I had a major infestation of these pavement ants all over my yard. I had a very large section about 60 feet long by 20 feet wide with ant nests all over to a point I did not have grass growing anymore. This bait is doing the trick and I now have to really look for any nests. If you have any doubts try this stuff and I think you will be surprised on how well it words. Great Stuff!! EASY TO USE
