This stuff did the trick. Haven't had a camel cricket in my house for a month. Used the granular bait around the outside of the house and this dust in the crawl space!

This stuff is amazing. Easy to use. Kills camel crickets quickly in basements and crawlspaces without spraying. I've shared mine with others and they love it.

By Kurt in Sun City Center, Florida on 01/30/2017

We were optimistic and counting on NiBan-FG to take care of these tiny little ants. But not a single ant will go near the bait. They all go around it, even after I put it in their way. Now they have i…

Thank you for your comments! We are sorry that you are not having success with the NiBan Granular Bait. The ants are probably looking for carbohydrates/sweets and/or moisture if they are not attracted to the Niban, so a gel or liquid bait would be recommended. You can test to find out if the ants are attracted to sweets by putting out a bit of honey, jelly, or syrup near the ant trails to see if they are attracted to it. If so, then we would recommend a sweet bait. Maxforce Quantum is an excellent sweet bait for most types of ants, even ones with very large colonies: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/maxforce-quantum-ant-bait-p-1884.html You may also want to use a perimeter and spot spray where ants may be entering the structure, such as Temprid SC or Temprid Ready Spray: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/temprid-sc-insecticide-p-1175.html http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/temprid-ready-spray-p-2657.html We can also assist you over the phone at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.

Lawn Ants
1 of 5 stars
By Mike in Haskell, NJ on 09/29/2017

I applied this product a couple of times. Ants did not appear to be eating it and we still have ant mounds in our yard. The ants covered it with dirt and kept on going.

Expert Response  Expert response:

Thank you for your review. We apologize you did not get the expected results. We would like to take the time out to help troubleshoot with you. Depending on if the ants are foraging or not will help to determine why they are just burying the bait. In order to find out if they are foraging you can do what we call the potato chip test. Where you put out a potato chip, if they take the potato chip back to the nest they are foraging. If they don't take it back they are not foraging and it will be easier to kill with a liquid insecticide like Taurus SC (http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/taurus-sc-termiticide-p-1816.html) by drenching the mound. If you have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 866-581-7378 Monday- Friday from 9-5.
