Advance 375a Select Granular Ant Bait - 8 oz. ant Killer,ant Poison

We've used this for 2 infestations (same bottle) over 2 years at our NC home. The first infestation was a larger ant species (didn't identify them), while the second was the miniscule Argentine Ant. You can test your ant's diet using a bit of peanut butter. If they come back in droves for that, these granules will work for them. Put this stuff near the peanut butter and they'll slowly transition to the granules, as they seem to like this even more than peanut butter. If not, just take the peanut butter away and they'll switch soon enough.My wife spotted about 10 of the tiny foodies scouting our bathroom for a nice place to eat. After finding the entrance to our pop-up soup kitchen, I served up our finest all-you-can-eat buffet to our first customers. They gave the food a huge thumbs up, so we hoped they'd go tell all their friends and leave us a 5-star review on Google. We were ecstatic to see business pick up so much that we had customers lined up as far as we could see; we even had to open another buffet right next door!We did encounter a slight problem with our patrons in that our portion sizes were a bit larger than they were able to handle, so we had to allow plate sharing. But, we have the best customers! No one even asked to see a manager when they couldn't get out our main entrance with their food. They quickly found another doorway about four feet away that we didn't even know we had and they just started using that one!While we had to keep the buffet open 24 hours, even while we slept, it was well worth the effort to ensure none of our devoted customers left hungry. Not only did they not clean us out of all our food while we weren't looking, but their friends kept coming all through the night. When we arrived at our little restaurant the next morning, we noticed our business had slowed to a crawl, with just one or two patrons still hanging out. By the way they were walking, though, it was clear we maybe shouldn't have left the liquor out while we slept. A few, apparently, even passed out while trying to get back to their tables!All their friends must've had more than enough of our excellent food, since no one's come back for thirds yet. Still, we want to ensure no one in this community ever goes hungry, so we'll leave the buffet open for 24-48 more hours before closing down our soup kitchen for a while. Never fear, though! Should another community be starving, we have plenty more food to provide and will gladly reopen our little pop-up restaurant wherever it's needed!

The media could not be loaded. This is the first review I have ever written on Amazon so bear with me. I just felt compelled to write this. This stuff works like a gem. I have a condo in Florida and when the weather got colder I seemed to have an infestation. I found micro bugs in my bathroom, kitchen and by our front door. I had regular Toro ant traps set up but wasn’t enough. I think our infestation was ghost ants but not 100% sure. Any who, I sprinkled a little bit of this stuff on an index card and put one on my floor in the bathroom and the other on my counter top. Within one minute, I kid you not, this had attracted a little ant onto the index card and the rest is history. I have no idea how this actually worked, does the smell make them go away or did one ant bring stuff back to their nest, no clue but it did do something. I would say within 24 to 48 hours I no longer had an issue!

After googling "best ant bait" and watching testimonies on YouTube, I now own both the Advance 375A bait for all ants, and the Advance Carpenter Ant Bait. They're both the same product, but the carpenter bait has bigger granules. We moved onto property where the soil is sandy and our yard was infested with all types of ants, including carpenter ants in the trees and around the buildings. (If you have carpenter ants in your house, I recommend an e-book on Amazon that I just read concerning carpenter ants. It's only a couple of dollars and can be read within 20 minutes or so. It's titled: "Yikes! I've Got Carpenter Ants! A homeowner's guide to solving carpenter ant infestations." By David Kiley. He shares the effective strategy for ridding your home of carpenter ants, and it's not that hard. He recommends the Advance Carpenter Ant Bait.) Anyway, back to my review: people have given this Advance 375A negative reviews, but I heard an ant expert say that ants go through stages where they will look for protein when their queen needs protein for her eggs and larvae, which is what this bait is, and when she doesn't need protein, they'll look for carbohydrates such as melon, which is where the sweet liquid ant bait comes into play. I've used the carpenter ant bait on the carpenters here, the 375A on all the other ants, and they all gobbled up the baits. Ants were feverish over this bait, ants of all sizes down to teeny ants. Some ran around in circles, seemingly beside themselves, but actually marking the spot with their scent when they found the bait, then grabbed it and hauled it away. I followed and watched a teeny, tiny ant haul a chunk of bait quite a distance across the yard to its nest. Within a day most nests were dormant; some took several days. The carpenter ants took all of their bait each night, so I'd replenish the next day, and within a week of replenishing, all carpenter activity completely stopped. (I should have given bigger portions; didn't know.) Fortunately, I hit this at a time when they all wanted protein. Surely, it must be a case of timing for the people who didn't have success with the bait. If you sprinkle this and see ants not taking it, nor taking sweet liquid bait, they may be following their scent trails to a food source that has their attention at the moment. If you are able to follow them and find their food source and remove it, they should then go to the bait. I had sprinkled some of this on an ant trail right by the opening of their tunnel, but they passed it by as they were hauling dead bugs and other things into their tunnel. I left and came back the next day to see the sprinkles gone, so they eventually took them. The bait does work. That nest and the others were inactive within days of taking the bait. There are a few stragglers from one nest where they had been hauling dead bugs and such, so perhaps those stragglers haven't yet eaten the 375A that they hauled in there, but are eating the other protein first. So, don't be discouraged; the problem is not the bait.Update: we are now at the end of summer, and for the past three months, our yard has stayed pretty much ant-free, as I've walked through the yard at 30 day intervals, according to what the container says, sprinkling the bait by hand, gloves on. This sandy soil yard is ant haven, and it is has stayed 99% ant free from where it was, thanks to this bait. Ants will always be flying in to establish their nests; one cannot expect zero ant activity, but one can almost achieve that with this bait on a 30-day interval of sprinkling!
