Customer Reviews for Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel

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.

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.

This summer's Argentine ant challenge has been particularly nasty. The little buggers were coming from all directions, North, South, East, and West. They came after the sweets, then they came for the proteins. I had some success with Drax Liquidator and the sweet-eaters, but it was totally ineffective when the diet changed. About the only thing that would keep them out was spraying a bit of cooking oil spray (really!) at the points of entry. But I knew this was not more than a temporary barrier. I looked all over the Internet for information on what others were using and came across Maxforce. I saw a video showing the ants "swarming" bait, and thought, "That's interesting," but wasn't entirely convinced. But I decided to give it a try. Knowing that "my ants" were interested in both sweet and protein at the same time, I ordered a combination of an FC Gel 4-pack and a 10-ounce bottle of protein Granules. And a bunch of bait stations. The free shipment arrived a day ahead of schedule, thankfully, and I got busy loading up a few stations and went to work. In particular, I had one huge trail of thousands of ants traversing the driveway, diverting to both the house and the succulent garden. I placed three stations across the 16' of garage door and waited. Within a few minutes, it became apparent that they were the sweet eaters, and so I added a few dabs of gel along about 5 or 6 other points of their trail, including the point at one of my concrete block garden wall under which I knew was an entrance to a nest. There was no "swarm", and I wasn't entirely sure how effective this would be, but at least they were "bellying up to the bar." It was about 7pm. Next morning, 7am, I walked outside to see what the ant trails looked like. To my amazement, ALL of the gel "dabs" were gone! The gel side of the bait stations were significantly depleted. And the thousands of ants from the night before were now down to numbers I could count on the fingers of one hand at any spot! We'll see if they're just sleeping after a night of "partying" on the gel, but I expect that they have been successfully eliminated in large part. I am totally convinced that Maxforce bait is all it claims to be. (And the few protein feeders that were still hanging around the kitchen when the order was delivered took the granules immediately and have not returned either.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Every spring I would get a trail of ants going across my countertop. I've tried every bait station that the big box stores sold. Finally, this year I tried the Maxforce ant bait gel from DoMyOwnPestControl, and the ants were gone in 2 -3 days. My only other thoughts are that now I have enough gel to last for decades. I wish that it came in a smaller package.

I have a really bad ant problem in my house. They are everywhere (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom...etc). I believe they are Argentine or sugar ants. I have tried other products over the counter as well as MAXFORCE FC ANT STATIONS and they don't work. But this Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel really worked. The ants eat the gel and the next day they are all died and disappeared. It has been 2 weeks and we have not seen any ants. Hope they are completely gone.

MaxForce FC Ant Bait Gel got rid of the tiny black ants that have plagued us for years! We tried every one of the products available from Lowes and The Home Depot - nothing worked, not even temporarily. We didn't want exterminators spraying the whole house, and they would only guarantee their treatment for a short time. MaxForce knocked them out within a day. I only had to use a tiny bit of it. I can retreat for years with just one box. Great stuff, thanks!

I have tried everything under the sun (including Maxforce bait stations) to combat little black ants with only marginal success. With Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel, however, the results were almost immediate, and more significant, long lasting. The little beggars swarm to it as soon as I put it down, and within a day or two they disappear completely. If you hate these pests as much as I do, give this stuff a try.

Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel is the real deal. I had what I believe were pharaoh ants. The gel and bait combo (Maxforce ant bait stations) wiped them out in about a week. Just follow the directions and recommendations and you'll be fine.

I bought the combo MaxForce FC Ant Bait Gel and Advance ant bait products because of the good reviews and we had a carpenter ant problem that returned every summer. Other products were only somewhat effective at knocking down the population that would come into the house. After doing some detective work at night, I found the main nest in a large tree with a split in the trunk. I applied both products to the main nest and where they were coming into the house. The ants did not seem to be attracted to the Advance but were drawn like flies to the MaxForce. Apparently, carpenter ants go through cycles of taste preferences so I guess they are currently feeding on sweets. Within a couple of days, I started seeing hundreds of ants keeling over along the trail between the tree and the house. I should have ordered this stuff a few years ago instead of trying the more generally available products at the home centers.

I had small black ants all over my kitchen counters. I put a smear of honey and peanut butter on foil in 2 corners of the counter that had the most ants. This would serve 2 purposes. It would tell me if the ants were going after protein (peanut butter) or carbohydrates (sugar), and it would cause the ants to create a trail. By creating a trail, I would know where they were coming from, and they would eat what was on the foil and not be all over my counter tops. I put the Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel next to the honey (they were not attracted to the peanut butter), and within 24 hours, no ants!

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.

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.

The product that they are advertising is accurate. I bought the Maxforce Ant Bait Gel and it really killed the ants within just 1 day. Now I'm buying another kit for my brother.

Last night I put out the Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel for ants. They started appearing like I had rang a dinner bell. They ate all night and were still feasting this morning. I just looked in the kitchen and several were on the counter the rest had left. I assume to die. The Maxforce ant bait has worked great! Thanks.

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
