Customer Reviews for Maxforce Fleet Ant Bait Gel

I had a large black carpenter ant problem and while I don't like killing anything it's to much to see 60 of them swarming all over the place, when they started to crawl up onto me while I was sleeping on the couch & bite that pretty much did it. So I started to use this brand a few years ago and I put out like 3 traps and just let them find it and let them take it back to the nest, in a little over a week problem solved.

I fought carpenter ants for two years. They were climbing the outside brick and going up and under the brick molding. I tried powder. Liquid spray and dry bait. Nothing worked. I applied this along their trails and no more ants. 2 weeks now a.d still no ants. Works great and sure cheaper than dropping the porch ceiling.

Living in the woods in Northwest Georgia there are many Carpenter Ants. When I first moved in I had a bad problem with the Carpenter Ants and used Maxforce Ant Gel and after three days I so no more ants, so once every year I apply one or two tubes of the ant gel to keep a Carpenter Ant free house.

To our surprise, it actually worked. What was not clear was which of the small nozzles to use, as there were four tubes and only two of each type of nozzle, metal and plastic. No instructions addressed this.

Last year we thought we got rid of wood ants through spraying. This spring they came back with a vengeance, and I did not want to spray toxins into the house again. We used MaxForce Fleet Ant Bait Gel and with no mess were able to inject the gel into the wood beams of our ceilings. After 1 week we found some ants had moved to a new beam, used more gel.... now it's been a month and no more ants or "sawdust" from the ants. It worked. And DoMyOwn was very prompt and helpful

Had large black ants appear this spring for the first time. They first showed up in the dishwasher! Put some of this under the dishwasher as well as outside on the deck nearest the kitchen. Within 2 days the activity ceased, and the bodies of ants appeared. This stuff is as effective as the roach stuff I bought here a few years ago. The syringe based stuff they sell is 1000 times more effective than anything you can buy in a spray can. Highly recommend this product as well as anything else that DoMyOwn sells.

Worked overnight! Bought a pack of four. Used one. After 1st application at entry points. That run was no.longer a issue. Could have used less and gotten desired results. Now on 2nd of 4th tube. Very effective I also used for 1st time (at same time) diatomaceous earth. Very pleased with results from both.

Service was excellent. Application was easy. About an hour after I applied the gel, more ants than I had observed before appeared to feed on the bait. The next morning, there were quite a few dead ones in the area. Haven't seen any activity since I treated a week ago. It's important to take the time to observe exactly where the ants seem to be entering. I was able to treat a rather small, but critical area with only two of the four cartridges. The gel made it easy to contain the chemical to a small area without exposing myself. I highly recommend this product.

I wanted to bait carpenter ants like the professionals, being very careful not to overuse the product, and my results were spectacular. I saved hundreds of dollars. Exercise caution in application and bait like the pros.

I live on a lake with a heavily wooded lot in NE Indiana. A few weeks ago I saw big (3/4 inch) black carpenter ants in my garage and sunroom. Having had a previous bad experience with these ants at another house, I knew I needed to act. I ordered both Maxforce Fleet Ant Bait Gel and Advance Carpenter Ant Bait. When I received my order, I placed both products in my garage. The ants ignored the Advance Carpenter Ant Bait and went immediately to the Maxforce gel. Within a day, I saw ants in my garage walking around in circles and acting spastic. A day later, I noticed that a rotted stump about 40 feet from my house was crawling with carpenter ants. There were ants and saw dust all around the stump. I placed both products around the stump. The ants were immediately attracted to both products. The next day I saw many dead ants around the stump and no live ants. Since then, I have not had any ants in my garage or house.

I found the trail of ants into the house and put some gel at the entry point into a narrow space at the bottom of a corner board. Immediately, ants were in the gel. The gel kept disappearing and I kept reapplying, thinking it was drying up. After three days, the application stopped drying up. That's when I realized it wasn't drying up but it was being carried off to the colony. No more ants. Only used 1/3 of one tube.

We had carpenter ants and tried many things to get rid of them. Was about to call a professional company. After reading about baits, found this at DoMyOwn and thought why not since it is less expensive than a pest control company. Within a week, no more carpenter ants. Several weeks later, still no carpenter ants. I am very pleased with this product and the small amount of product and time it took to rid the house of the carpenter ants. Glad I found this company to buy from. It is now my go to source for pest control.

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.

This is the best stuff for ants...seriously. We have a huge problem every years in Los Angeles. A few dabs of this on the ant trails, they're usually gone in a few hours and they don't return. Been using it for years and I hope they don't try to "improve" it.

Max force was terrific in eliminating our carpenter ant problem. From the first application the ants covered the gel and took it back to their nest. After another application more came and after about 3 days there were no more ants. We would buy this product again. We still have some left.

Best stuff I've used to get rid of Carpenter Ants. Ran out of my prior tube. Ordered a 4 pack. Carpenter Ants love this stuff. They swarm all over it. You don't need a lot and within a day or two they are gone! Now if I could just get rid of our Carpenter BEES!!

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.

I typically don't leave reviews, and I wish I was kidding. So, Dec 2020 my wife and I moved into a house that is older then more then 2/3rds of the USA, and the 1st year we found out we had a bad carpenter/wood ant problem. I mean, bad. I would find about 7 every 12 hours in my main bathroom, which is about 12ft by 12ft. Well I asked on the Facebook page in our town for assistance, they recommended this product. Let me tell you, after battling these azzhats for a week (it took me that long to find out where their nest was) I used half a syringe on them, and this nest was not small, but within a day or 2 they all were dead. They left behind a nice mope mound of saw dust and dead bodies. So, this product is worth the termination of carpenter/wood ants, if it's another type of any. I can't tell you, but this killed them off dn quick and effectively. Better than what seal team 6 could've done.
