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

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.

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.

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.

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.

This stuff is incredible! We bought both kinds the Maxforce Fleet Ant Bait Gel & the Advanced Carpenter Ant Bait just in case the ants had an appetite for sweet & or savory, plus that's what most of the reviewers recommended you do so that's what we did. We also bought the 2 sided plastic bait stations, so you can place both kinds of bait into one station, & the stations are very safe just in case you have curious pets. I kid you not; the day we received the bait we filled the stations with both kinds of bait, the Gel on one side & the Advanced Carpenter Ant Bait on the other. We placed the stations in strategic locations around the house where we noticed the Ants coming in & out, mostly at our back door where we keep our trash can & the stations were full the next day. We replaced the stations that were full of ants or were low on bait & within a week we had no more ants. I did notice that most of the ants did gravitate more toward the Maxforce Gel side of the station as opposed to the other side, but both were being utilized by the ants. Amazing stuff, a little goes a long way, the bait containers are large so I can't imagine having to replace them often, but when I do replace them I will definitely return to DOMYOWN. COM. I'm pretty sure shipping was free &it was quick I'm certain it was within 4 days. The products was packaged safely & securely, no leaks or open packages & I'm only speculating that both baits was within the expiration period I couldn't find an expiration date on either package. I haven't had to connect with Customer Service as of yet so I can't say anything about that portion of this amazing company but I really can't imagine anything negative...! I will 100% return to this company for all my pest control needs...!!!

For some reason, ants were bad Late spring and early summer this year I received this product from Max force and it is the best product I’ve ever used. My pest control guy said, cut up straws in 2 inch pieces and squirt the max force inside of it and put it in the path of the ants, that’s what I did and it worked unbelievabley. This is the best product I’ve ever bought that really works.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Have used this product to control outdoor carpenter ants over the years. Treated at first sign of their presence. Works very well.

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.

It's an old apartment. I moved in years ago, and the roaches had already taken over. Little guys, less gross than the big ones but not in these numbers. There was no getting rid of them (diatomaceous earth? didn't work at all, etc etc). Then after a few years of living like this (yikes), my roommate got this stuff, and they basically disappeared overnight. When we start to see one or two every 6 mo or so, we apply a little more in the back of the cabinet and they're gone.

I applied several tubes to the circumference of our large oak tree which was teaming with large black carpenter ants. I no longer see any evidence of them and will be applying Maxforce to other oak trees to slow down their demise by these ants.

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 have battled a colony of carpenter ants for TWO YEARS. I tried every product and tactic imaginable. Each time, the numbers would decline but they’d bounce right back within a few weeks. Often, I’d find dead ants all over the house (an indication a product is working too fast to kill the queen). I was losing my mind. I was like Billy Murray in Caddyshack. When I applied this gel, they feasted on it like an all-you-can-eat buffet. They invited their friends and family to join (I had seen this before, I wasn’t about to celebrate). But within 10 days, I saw a significant decline in ant activity. No carcasses all over the house, just an absence of ants. Now, one month later, I am ant-free and there is no activity near the colony (they had hollowed out the trunk of an otherwise healthy tree in my front yard). This product saved my tree, my house, and my sanity.
