Customer Reviews for Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel

I put the stuff in all of the cracks around the doors and windows and the ants were gone the next day. It's been around 2 weeks now and I have not seen a single ant! Love this stuff and you will too!!

I first became acquainted with this product from a pest control service. We have been getting invasions of this Pharoah Ant off and on in the spring and summer and I had to call for pest control services, which was very effective until the next invasion so I thought I would see what I could find on internet. This product works good and now I can use it as soon as I see them rather than waiting for someone to get here.

I bought this product to deal with some tiny black ants that were appearing in my kitchen and pantry. While the ants DO go for the bait readily, it is only useful for a few hours until the gel dries out and then you have to re-apply. After a few applications over the course of several days I started seeing less and less ants and I haven't seen one in a few weeks. This product is overall very effective compared to the raid bait station type ant control I have tried previously that did not succeed in attracting the ants' attention.

This is great stuff. We had a problem with Pharaoh ants. Just put a dab on the trail and within minutes the whole gang is there.

Had a bad infestation of Pharaoh Ants under some bricks used for landscaping. I applied it in a few areas and by the next day the ants were doing just what they were supposed to be doing, going after the bait and taking their dead buddies back for more food. By the end of the week, there was little to surface activity. I hope problem solved.

Great product! I apply Maxforce and my ant problems are gone. It has been over a month and I have not seen any ants.

The windows at our house were installed improperly. We discovered rotted wood covered with little black ants. We replaced all the windows over a year and killed thousands of little black ants. We thought we had solved the problem when they reappeared in huge numbers this spring. We tried everything. Then we bought MaxForce FC Ant Bait Get. We used it exactly as they said. We have killed thousands of ants. We have found piles of them dead. The great thing is that you put the get in cracks around the baseboards and the doors and windows. It works. We are now only seeing an occasional sick ant.

When the weather started to warm up I had an issue with Argentine Ants coming into our kitchen to get crumbs that our kids would drop. A few ants at first but after a few days there would be dozens on the floor and walls when I got home from work. If I sprayed them and the trail where they were coming under the trim they would just move five feet down the wall for tomorrows assault. I used the small application tip to squirt about 1/3 of a tube of this gel under the trim a few inches from where they were coming in. They went right after it, after 24 hours there were just a few ants left, after 48 hours they were gone completely. I haven't seen another ant in the kitchen in the two weeks gone by since that time. Evidently they carried the bait home and shared it, ultimately killing them all. I also used the MaxForce protein bait stations but the ants didn't live long enough after the (sugar based) gel application to start getting any of it. I'm going to put the bait stations in the basement and outside just for general purpose.

This is the second time I've used MaxForce ant gel and it works great on Red ants and Black ants. I put down the Gel and the ants started to appear (lots of them).  After three days they were completely gone and never returned.  I have already recommended it to all my friends.

The MaxForce works. I treat my tenants first floor apartment and they informed me that in less than three days the Carpenter Ants were gone for good. I have not received any more complains of ants.

Living in GA Ants in the house are a fact of life. With Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel I can eliminate them in short order. At their first appearance I observe the ant path and apply MF in a few inconspicuous areas along the way. I also apply MF along any doors or other possible entrance in the vicinity. The next day, no more ants! Then I spray the counter, table or any other surface where the ants had been with Windex or other ammonia based cleaner to remove any sent left to wipe away their calling card.

I had been invaded by Ghost Ants and nothing I could find would kill them. I ordered the Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel and used it a directed (amazed that it needed to be refrigerated before use!) and only occasionaly do I see an ant now. I have just re-applied to catch the ones straggling in now. Good Stuff!

The one and only product that attracts and kills ants effectively every time. I have used it when ever ants get into the foam in the prefab walls of my guest house and use the walls like an ant farm. In a few days, after baiting with MaxForce, they have vanished! DoMyOwnPest Control is where I first learned about MaxForce. They ship FAST. Fast is what you want when you have ants in your walls! I have ordered a few times over the years and will always order from them when I have ant problem! Joyce

We've had two infestations of tiny black sweet-eating ants in our kitchen over the past several months. We dealt with the first infestation by putting out ant buttons, constant cleaning, quarantining our staples like flour, sugar and cereals on top of the refrigerator, and in general having our lives controlled by these annoying critters. Finally they went away after several weeks. A few weeks ago they returned. This time I purchased Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel, put a few tiny drops in a corner under one baseboard and a few drops in the area near our trash can, and the very next day the ants were gone! I wouldn't move my food back to the cabinets for a week because I couldn't believe they were gone, but they were really gone. What a relief! About a week later a few ants started appearing again. I put down a few more tiny drops, and again, they were gone the next day and haven't returned. This stuff is amazing! And I didn't have to worry about toxins getting anywhere near our food or our three cats.

Was very ineffective in attracting the ants. I did a pre-test (honey or peanut butter) to determine the food preference of the ants. The ants were attracted to the honey but not the Maxforce.

We are experiencing an ant problem around our kitchen sink area. I had great expectations after reading the reviews for this product. After following the directions and putting the bait down twice over a two week period, we still have the ant problem. The ants don't seem to mind the gel, and it appears that we now have more ants than before. I had great expectations, but regretfully, it did not work for me.

I have had pharoah ants, off and on, for several years. I had controled them with the boric acid, mint apple jelly recipe. I applied the maxforce bait on strips on masking tape on my bathroom wall and after several days noticed dead ants under the baits. When I did not see any live ants for a few days, I removed the bait strips. After a couple of days, I noticed a few more live ants. I re-applied the bait and have freshened the bait several times since. The ants can be observed feeding on the bait but they only seem to multiply. This product has not performed for me so I can't give it a favorable rating.

I had a large colony of Argentine ants in my yard that made it a burden to do any sort of yard work. I placed small amounts close to their trails, and some in bait stations close to nest openings. Within about 15 minutes the ants were all over it. The first application (1 tube) showed a noticable decrease in their numbers. I applied more a week later, and now all the trails are gone, nests look abandoned, I really have to look hard to find ants in my yard now, and I still have 2 tubes left over! Thanks Max Force! And the service from Do My Own Pest Controls was stellar as always! You guys save me so much money, versus calling a professional exterminator.

This product is the greatest I have seen. Ants were extremely attracted to the product and no ants were seen within 24 hours of application. All you need is a tiny drop, don't overapply. I am ecstatic. Also very happy with customer service. Product arrived quickly. Can't wait to amaze others with its effectiveness. I am a believer!!!!

Applied 3 times near garage door to the house. By the third application, no more little black ants (4 days). I know they like protein too so another batch may hatch and I will double up with the Maxforce Gel and the protein based granules. Excellent company with excellent shipping. Thank you so much for your help too.

Received this product in a very timely manner. Only used a few spots and within two days the ant "highway" had disappeared completely. Completely satisfied and still have enough for the next few years.

Ants are attracted immediately and goes to work. This works great with Advance 375A Granular ant bait.

I put Maxforce into three bait stations. Two in my kitchen where the ants were trailing and one outside the kitchen. It looked like the ants weren't able to get into the bait stations, but within hours I found a lot of dead ants around a station. There were still a lot of ants in the area but not by morning! No ant activity for two weeks now. I also purchased the Advanced 375A Select Granular Ant Bait and put it around the outside of the kitchen. It's not expensive if you consider that commercial bait is only money you're just throwing away because they simply don't work. I'm a customer for life!
