    Works everytime

    By Marc on 01/03/2020

    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.

    Fantastic ant bait.

    By Barney on 05/22/2020

    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.

    Dead Ants

    By John on 04/17/2020

    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.

    it worked

    By Henya on 03/27/2020

    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.

    Yay... the ants are gone

    By Wendy on 06/05/2020

    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

    Maxforceant bait

    By Davemanley on 05/08/2020

    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.

    Another amazing product

    By Glen on 05/08/2020

    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.

    This stuff works!

    By Sandra on 05/22/2020

    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.

    Very effective

    By Suzanne on 05/08/2020

    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.

    Carpenter Ants

    By Rick on 06/26/2020

    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.

    Carpenter Ants

    By Terry on 05/21/2021

    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!!

    Carpenter Ant Problem

    By Jerry on 10/02/2020

    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.

    Use it all the time

    By Richard on 09/25/2020

    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.

    Works!

    By Dale on 08/17/2020

    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.

    Amazing, so far.

    By Rich on 08/14/2020

    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.

    It kills them all

    By Franky1980 on 08/15/2020

    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.

    Was like carpenter ant candy

    By Robert on 12/28/2021

    Verified Purchase

    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.

    Carpenter ant problem resolved

    By Jeff on 06/02/2023

    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.

    Maxforce, and Maxeffect!

    By Chappy on 04/11/2022

    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.

    Solved a bigger problem than I thought

    By Peter on 06/02/2022

    We have been fighting carpenter ants in one place for a year. Nothing from the big box stores worked. This product shocked us. Watched the ants chow down on this stuff like candy. 3 days later the garage was blanketed by dead ants not just 10 but hundreds. We did not think we had this big a problem. Very impressed and opened our eyes .

    Surprised

    By Andy on 09/09/2022

    We have been battling carpenter ants for years because the area we live in has many old trees, so the ants try to move in every year. I've tried many products over the years with varying success but all required you to spray directly on the ants and nest. Which is not easy to find or get to sometimes. I decided home stores products were just not up to the job. After much searching, self education and watching videos from the pro's, I settled on this and the granules. Ants were on sweets so they ignored the granules and went straight for this gel. Day 1, lots of ants, day 2 less ants, day 3 no ants at all, two weeks of monitoring and no sign of a single ant. So this stuff worked great for me and was surprised by the speed it killed off the nest. I'll be putting this down in bait traps every year from now on.
