Customer Reviews for Maxforce Fleet Ant Bait Gel

As someone commented; Carpenter ants seem not to be attracted to the gel. To be honest I never saw one baiting it, but suddenly in the next three or less days after the first application they start showing dead all around.

We had large black carpenter ants throughout the house and even on our 30 ft high balcony porch and I don't mean one or two. I placed the little drops of the bait as directed throughout the house and porch are you also used advance carpenter ant bait and it was amazing within days they dwindled and then none. Couple months later I did call and arranged and exterminator for quarterly visits and I showed him the bait I used and he said it was the same that he used and said I did a really great job.

The carpenter ants love this stuff. I put it in key spots but also in the evening look around to see if I see ants heading to and from the house. Then I put small blobs right in their route-- it is great to see them gather around and eat the stuff up, then go on their way to bring it to the colony. This is the surest way I know of to truly kill a colony-- when I do this within 7-10 days there will be NO ANT ACTION whatsoever.

I've only had a chance to put some of this ant bait out once . I've already seen less ants . Been trying for years to rid myself of them and used a lot of different products with no luck . Very happy with this gel ant bait and they went right to it .

I have wooden large statues of grizzley bears, black bears , wolf etc in my yard. I initially put down a granular product and the ants disappeared. Two weeks later they were back. There is a lot of sawdust from them gutting them from the insides out. We are talking 5-6 ft statues that are anywhere up to 18 inches thick. GUTTED. The Maxforce Fleet arrived and I put some on the stump one was on. I walked around the Grizzley putting little dabs of gue where the rain wouldn't wash it away. I put a little in the crack going down his back. By the time I made a full circle the ants were busy eatting it. The ants came from inside the crack and from the outside and loved it. There were several Piles of black and red ants on the ground at all animals. I then used the Maxforce granular around the base. When I say my animals are gutted from the inside I mean the whole interior. My thought is that these ants gobbled up the Maxforce Fleet but did they die before they fed the larve or the Queen? Who knows.

Living in Florida I see plenty of ants and typically as long as they outside of my house I have tended to let them be. However, when they begin to enter the house, we go to war. Recently I had begun to see many more on the outside near my patio and after two rainy days I found about a dozen Carpenter ant bodies one morning near a night light and knew it was time to get serious with this problem. I ordered a couple products from Do My Own and the first one I used was the Maxforce Fleet Ant Bait Gel. This product within a few minutes of applying outside of the house was like a magnet for several different types of ants. Within a couple of days, I noticed considerably less ants outside and withing four days there was no longer any showing up inside and my patios and walkways no longer have trails of ants moving about. I have treated many areas with this gel and I'm happy to say ant free and life is good again!

It did not work. We still kept getting ants long after we applied twice.

  Expert response:
That can happen as ants are not always looking for a sugar/carb protein. Maxforce Fleet Ant Bait Gel is highly appealing to sweet feeding ants. It is highly recommended to also use Advion Insect Granular Bait Insecticide or Maxforce Complete Granular Bait which are protein baits. You should always give ants a choice as they may be in the mood for either a protein (granule) or a sugar (gel) bait. Using Bait Plate Stations with your baits is an easy way to offer two different baits at one time.

Used this gel bait with great success outside home and sheds. Had carpenter ants crawling about in different areas and some coming into garage and deck doorways. Since using the product I rarely see any. It's working as intended. I would recommend this product and am highly satisfied using it.

I had a carpenter ant problem at home. I spoke to a tech. advisor and he recommended the advance 375 and the maxforce fleet gel. I used both in the manner recommended and it did nothing! The ants would literally walk right over them both. Products were useless for me. I bought the pt phantom II, tried that, and went from seeing many hundreds if not a thousand every nite to 0 !! Great product!!! I wish you all would have suggested that I try that first, would have saved me some money! I would rate the 2 baits I used a 0. . The pt phantom a 5+++

I put this down along the trail of carpenter ants into my home. They won't touch the stuff. It's like they know it is going to hurt them. They try hard to avoid it.

I had a carpenter ant infestation in my house. Thousands of these ants were marching down my fence in both directions and entering my house through a void somewhere. I decided to purchase this product and when I got it I immediately started using it. I applied this product to five or six q-tips so that I could hold the q-tip while I applied the product to the other end of the q-tip. I set the q-tips out in the path of where I was seeing the carpenter ants travel. I also put bait outside of my house at night where I thought that they were entering. I only used small dabs along my fence in both directions at night when they were foraging for food so that the worker ants could get it and take it back to the nest in order to kill the queen and the colony. I had my doubts that this product would work but lo and behold it wiped the colony completely out. I mean I was seeing thousands and thousands of ants bee lining to my house befor I had this product. The key is to be patient and let this product do its work over the course of 3 to 7 days. Thank you Max Force for totally eradicating my carpenter ant problem. This product is amazing for anyone who has a carpenter ant infestation and can be patient allowing the bait to do its work. You will know that debate is working when the ants inside of your house start to slow down and look lethargic. Then you will notice that they start to die and as they are dying they start to move in very small half inch circles because the poison is affecting them.

I used to work for the big expensive pest control company and when I had an invasion of ants, I tried to go the cheap route with store bought versions. After seeing no difference and no change in Ant behaviour, I decided to go back to my roots. We had ants in our bathroom and kitchen, which are separated by a floor and across the house from each other. Well, I put this out in our kitchen where I saw the ant trail and day 1 was when they found it and told the rest of the colony, day 2 was a greatly diminished population, day 3 was all quiet on the western front. Two weeks later all the ants that were hatching from the first wave of the colony came out. I laid down a new batch of bait and the same pattern, by day 3 the war was over. This was a reminder to one who did this professionally to go with the modern professional technology, not on the cheap with store bought, possibly stale baits.

Works great. Just make sure that wherever you place it, that other animals/creatures can't lick it.

Something about this bait immediately had ants feeding off it and sure enough, after awhile you can see them disoriented until they died. Definitely use this in cracks and gaps to "seal" their movement and watch your ant issues go away almost instantly.

Worked amazingly!! It was easy to use as well, which I loved.

I had a huge tree in the back yard that was infested with carpenter ants. Put this stuff at the opening where they were going in and out. I actually put four big globs of this stuff every evening. By morning all of it was gone. I did this every day for about two weeks. The ants would go crazy over it and I could actually watch them eat it. One morning I came back out to check and all of the globs were still there, however I did not see any ants. Going on one week since then and the globs remain and no siting of ants. After finding one in the house I set up lots of piles and the same thing happened in the basement. However I didn’t actually see any ants. It turns out I had mice coming down and eating the bait. So if you have bait disappearing but no signs of ants, you may have mice eating your bait. A few mouse traps with peanut butter fixed that issue. This stuff works

Seem to work better then some other gels, albeit those ants keep appearing from time to time

We have a lodge in the woods so basically carpenter ant heaven. I've been using this product for 3 years now, and we no longer see the ants inside the house. One application usually lasts the entire season. I purchased it when I realized our pest control service was using the exact same product but charging over $300 for it. Turns out I can squeeze gel out of a syringe just as well as the pros ;-)

Saw a group of ants eating the gel. Used in combination with Advance bait which I also observed ants eating and Taurus SC termicide. After spraying Taurus there was an instant reduction in ants over 24 hour period. Took no chances using a three pronged approach and ants seem to have been wiped out.

This worked great for carpenter ants. I put it nearby a problem area and they basically flocked to it. A few days later and not a single ant in site!

Within days, this stuff had my problem under control! I've tried other products, but none were as effective as this.
