Customer Reviews for Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel

Plunger doesn't stay in like advion tubes. If pressed to hard the gel come back out the top. The metal tips are prone to clogging. The gel is very liquidy with clumps. Didn't get good results like the advion gel. Wouldn't recommend.

I'm almost embarrassed to say this but I've been using this product for years. Always works well. I recently purchased this item from a different vendor and there's a syringe to make application so much easier! I had no idea. I have never seen it before. I actually thought my kids devised it with a ball pump needle since it's metal. This is a game changer for me. Already loved the product but now I LOVE the product. Also, I usually use it with the granules but honestly don't think the granules are as good against ants.

This stuff works great! The ants literally run to eat this stuff up! You have to keep at it for a couple of weeks as new ants hatch. But once they are gone, they are gone!

As a skeptic of online reviews, I bought this hesitantly. I've had sugar ants coming in through an outlet in my bedroom for the last 2 years off and on. I've used all the store bought baits and was almost at my wits end. This was my last purchase of bait before I spent 800/year having Terminix come out. It took about a week but so far they are gone. I found a few nests in the yard and put the bait out there and in the outlet. I am very hopeful that these jerks are gone!

(I applied this for small odorous house ant type of ants. They entered into my apartment through the windows and nested inside the walls behind the bathroom) Bayer needs to re-evaluate their production quality on this product. From the get-go, the Maxforce FC ant gel is messy to use, because the gel formula is not sufficiently bound together, formulation-wise, in the tube. So when you put the plunger in to start using it, the drippy, runny, liquidy portion of the formula starts to immediately drip out in the direction of your hand. Then, when you try applying dots of the product on walls or surfaces, the texture of the gel is already crumbly, somewhat dry, and doesn't put out a stay-put, well homogenized moist dollup. The consistency of the gel totally fails. Another thing is, it seems to paralyze the ants too quickly, as opposed to allowing for the transfer effect to take place in having the ants take it back to the nest. Ants would take one hit of it, and almost instantly get paralyzed and pass out. Another thing i noticed was that the ants were more attracted to Advion gel over the Maxforce FC. On a basic level, just too messy to use, due to poor formulation on Bayer's part. Advion, on the other hand, was much cleaner to use, and the proper consistency. Advion is produced much better. Been baiting for over a month in areas of my bathroom and living room where the floor meets the wall with a combination of Maxforce FC, Advion Ant gel, and Advance granules, and the colony or colonies, are still NOT knocked out. So I'm biting the bullet, and am now going to try out applying non-repellant surface treatment insecticide (Alpine WSG first. Then, if that doesn't work, I'm resorting to applying Phantom SC. Alpine WSG is the lesser toxic one, and Phantom is the more toxic one). I'll let y'all know how those applications go / if they finally succeed in eradicating the colony or colonies in my apt walls.

My monthly pest control service had been keeping the ants in check until the end of summer. The ants started appearing around the kitchen sink and counter areas and in the kids bathroom. The spray can just wasn't doing the job to get rid of them. I ordered the Maxforce bait gel. Once I determined where the ants were coming into the house, I placed a small amount of the Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel on their trail right where they were coming in. They went to it right away, the ants coming and going. It was amazing how fast the gel took affect. The ants carried the bait back to their nest and some died right there by the bait. The ants have not returned in any of the places that the gel was used. The bait gel really did the trick! Nancy Chino Hills, CA

Pavement, little black ants. I've used Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel before and it works astoundingly well! I'm ordering more just for some backup during the next several months.

Me and my girlfriend put down the Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel in the cracks of the doors and the ants just came. It looks like the colony has taken to to it and that should be the end of our ant problem for the next couple of weeks.

I've used this product before for a sugar ant infestation. Just use as directed and you'll be fine within a week or so. You won't find anything like this in any store. I came back because I finally ran out of gel.

HAD a real bad problem with little black ants in home, REAL bad in three rooms. As the bait advised, I  lured the ants to a location with peanut butter and honey.  When they were becoming heavy, I removed bait and put out Bait Gel.  After three days, NO ANTS, same results in other rooms. Paid a licensed exterminator to do this but he only sprayed with no positive results. With your product I have NO MORE ANTS! Great!  Will come to your site for all my pest problems.

Was using Terro to try to get rid of the ants.  This just seemed to feed them.  Put MaxForce down and all of the ants were gone the next day.

This product puts the hurt on ants! I will buy this product again. If you have an ant problem, stop it with Maxforce!

I ordered the Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel in May 2012, after seeing how good the Maxforce Roach Control product worked in my parent's home in 2009. It is June 2012 and they have not seen another roach - or any other insects. The Customer Service process was excellent from start to finish. The Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel was delivered promptly as promised. The follow up from Customer Service was excellent. The Ant Bait Gel results do not take place instantly, but after 3-4 days ants were completely eliminated. I gave a tube to my brother and he has not seen an ant since, either. I am a happy customer! I will definitely promote My Pest Control Company among my family and friends.

I think it worked inside but can't be sure because I had also been using Terro for the past two weeks. So it may have worked or maybe the Terro finally did it. It doesn't work at all to put it directly on an ant trail outside. They completely ignore it. The plastic syrenge applicator is aweful... I wouldn't buy this again.

I recommend this product for ants. It has worked very well for us. I do, however, recommend the Masterline Professional Bait Gun to apply this bait because you have better control of the amount that you dispense.

I have used this product before and have been very satisfied with the results. Two problems as a residential user: (1) Four tubes is too much for home consumption, and (2) If we have to assemble the tubes, some instructions would be helpful

Living in SW Florida, we understand what it is to battle ants all year long. We have around 5 varieties on our property, and 3 that invade our home. I have used MANY different name brand, nationally advertised products, but I must say that Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel is hands down better than any of them I have used! PERIOD. The price and ease of application make it an answer to our problem. Try it, you will love it.

I have been using those expensive bait stations from another DIY control company with no success. I used the gel around our bathroom vanity and a bunch of ants showed up the same afernoon. The next morning I saw no ants and have not seen any since in the entire house.

We have had black ant problems all summer outside by the front porch and the front of the garage and everything we tried failed miserably. I came across Maxforce Ant Bait Gel doing an Internet search and reluctantly decided to try it. I am so so happy I did - in only 48 hours the ants disappeared and I have not seen one single ant for 4 days now. Buy this product, as it really works.

We were having a major ant problem. The small reddish house ants. Our ant problem was so bad and have tried all solutions we could find. They were everywhere and I mean everywhere. Everyplac3e there was water and ANY dirty dishes or dropped food. Ant columns 3/4 inch wide crossing the carpet to get to whatever they found. We received the Maxforce within 2 days from ordering and I used old clean Smart Balance margarine containers with holes close to the lid and put Maxforce on the lid and set the containers upside down. Within 2 days all ants have left the house. I was totally excited on how this stuff worked and COMPLETELY SATISFIED especially after all the time and cost on other products. Five stars from us. PS Doesn't take much to do the job.

The Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel worked very efficiently. It was used in conjunction with Advance 375A. I've been using the Advance 375 for years and years with great success. However my daughter came home from a 1 week vacation to find here home overrun with Odorous House Ants and the 375 that I'd given her helped a lot but she just couldn't seem to stop them. I then ordered the Gel, her home is now ant free. Great Product, I recommend it and will buy it again.

This is the second time I have used this ant bait gel and it is terrific! My house is not insulated so the ants can wander in easily. They gobble it up and go away in an hour or so. This is a seasonal problem for me so I have to use it 2 times a year. Much less expensive and also less hassle than hiring an exterminator.

Had a problem with small black and brown ants the last couple of summers, this year they got much worse, tried everything, couldn't get rid of them, just would be back in a few days, BUT this did it!! Haven't seen any ants in weeks!! I keep the gel in the frig, so it doesn't get runny, and using the plunger with a syringe makes it easier to get in cracks or crevices.

I am still getting a few ants so maybe it has not been long enough to give a 5 star review. I have added more to extend the areas so am hoping this will work. I am a true believer in the max force bait especially for roaches. So will give the ant bait a while longer.
