Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait has a new package look but formulation remains the same.
Each order of Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait will come with 10 bait stations to apply the quantum into unless you buy a case which will come with 60 stations.
Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait is the newest bait formulation from the Maxforce line of products and will remain effective for up to 3 months. Maxforce quantum is effective on most ant species including Argentine Ants, Pharoah Ants, Ghost Ants, Crazy Ants, and Odorous House Ants. It can be used indoors and outdoors. Its revolutionary carbohydrate bait matrix ensures it will continue to perform long after it is applied. Carpenter Ants, Fire Ants, and Harvester Ants are not controlled by this bait.
Update - New Approved Dilution Directions:
Those who need to control large population ants such as crazy ants or Argentine ants, to name a couple, can now dilute Maxforce Quantum in a sugar water solution to provide these huge colonies of ants enough bait to offer some control.
Simple Directions:
Prepare the solution as needed and place in a suitable liquid bait station.

Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait is designed to take advantage of trophallaxis (food exchange) in ants, allowing for transfer of imidacloprid within the ant colony. Foraging ants that feed on the bait will return to the nest and transfer the bait to the queen(s) and the entire colony. Dead worker ants and a reduction in ant numbers should be noticeable within a few days.
Place bait in areas of known for foraging activity, along foraging trails and into nest sites. A careful inspection will help to identify sites suitable for bait placement; also, resident interviews can help to identify areas where ant activity has been observed. Apply bait into cracks, crevices, holes or other small openings where ants travel. Apply bait in small spots or beads on horizontal surfaces wherever possible as bait will not adhere well to vertical surfaces. The amount of bait required for effective control will depend on the severity of the ant infestation; the total amount of bait applied must not exceed the application rate outlined be low.
During follow up visits inspect bait placements and reapply as needed; reapply bait in the same location if all the bait is gone or in a different area if no ant activity is evident.

A bit pricy, but they say you get what you pay for. This bait out performed other ant baits that I purchase at Lowes, Home Deport and other Home Improvement Centers. Maxforce was recommended by an individual who worked for a Professional Pest Control Service. I took his advice, received the product, filled one station and whalla NO ANTS where they were entering the house. If they show up again , station out..So far no ants in 3 weeks...Excellent product..

I believe this is the carbohdrate (sugar) bait for crazy ants. They were attracted to it in several cases (as info described) and it did seem to deter them. It was more effective w/o the plastic stations. I used it inside & outside & felt safe since no pets/kids. With this & the protein bait I believe the crazy ants are less but may never be eliminated. Some residual crazy ants continue to forage but no infestations as before. Glad to find a bait instead of only insecticide (Talstar) treatments. Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait seemed safe to use. There was a mixup on ordering but this vendor resolved it in good fashion after my returning another product.

I suspect it is far superior to the retail product available... However I consider it very expensive.

Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait is best for 3 months when used in bait plate stations. The date stamped on the tube is the manufacture date, not an expiration. The gel bait is best for 3-4 years from that date if stored out of extreme heat.

Per the Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait product label for outdoor application: A careful inspection around a structure can help identify areas where ants are nesting, actively foraging, or are gaining access to the structure. Place bait on or adjacent to the structure where you observe ants or to areas of suspected ant activity to control ants before they enter the structure. Place bait in cracks and crevices (in brick walls, between pavement slabs, in tree holes, under stones, etc.) where ants are seen to be active or ant trails are evident. To maximize residual effectiveness, apply Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait in locations that are protected from direct sunlight and rain or irrigation. Make spot treatments outdoors where ants are seen, next to ant trails and suspected areas of ant activity. Likely locations for bait placements are points of entry into structure (e.g., along windows, doors, between construction elements) and areas where ants may find water (e.g., eaves, soffits, weep holes), and especially where wires or pipes enter the structure. Bait can also be applied at trees, stumps, roots, wood decks, fences, planter boxes, woodpiles, landscaping, and railroad ties where ants may build nests

Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait can be applied inside the bait plate station tray and the lid goes on top of the tray. It is safe for pets if used as directed on the product label and the stations are inaccessible to pets.

The Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait manufacturer recommends that you apply 0.2 grams per 100 square feet of floor space, or to apply 0.6 grams of bait per 10 lineal feet of foraging ant trails. There will be more bait than stations as they are reusable.
