Advion Ant Gel Bait, 1 30-Gram Tube, 1 Plunger and 1 Tip, Effective Bait, Formulated with 0.05% Indoxacarb, Indoor and Outdoor Use, Killer Gel for Control of Most Major Ant Species

I just got this in the mail and immediately opened it to put some out. I am CONSTANTLY cleaning my floors because of these darn ants! If there is so much as a crumb they are scattering all over the floor to get to it. So I said enough was enough and started researching. I didn’t want something that was just gunna kill them on contact. I wanted something that would kill the colony and I think I may have found it! It’s only been out about 25 minutes max and they’re already swarming it.I took the advice of others and put it RIGHT in their tracks on a piece of cardboard for easy clean up. Out of the 6 places I have set them 5 of them are being swarmed with ants. They must think this stuff is GOOD. I know the next couple of days it’s only supposed to get worse and then hopefully get better so I’ll come back with a final verdict!Update: We are now 2 1/2 days in and only 3 of the 6 traps are now being used. Not because the ants aren’t interested, nay nay… IT’S BECAUSE THEY AREN'T THERE! The ones on the inner parts of the house are completely empty. No trails, maybe a straggler or two but they were by the 100s before. (See pics 5-8) and now they’re empty! The last 3 are more by the door frames. And they’re still coming in pretty heavy but WAYYY less than before! I did move one over by my cats food bowl because they seem to be trying to migrate over there. So I cleaning his bowl, disinfected it, and set it up on the bar for now. I’ll come back with one more update but I honestly think it’s doing wonders!!!

We had an ant problem for over a year! I tried everything short of burning my house down! 😂 Ant bait, inside and outside! Ant killer around the entire house. Multiple types of gels and traps inside the house. Natural deterrence around all windows and doors. Even going into our crawl space and putting bait down there. (Didnt want to do professional exterminator because we have many pets) Nothing would get rid of them! A couple times I had success to get rid of them for a few days but they would come right back! I was at my wits end and found this...I took the chance to get it and I'm so glad I did! The ants swarmed the gel wherever I saw them, as soon as I put it down, so much that I had to add more the next day! Within 3 days there were no more ants! I did have 2 more areas in my house pop up with ants and put this gel down again and they were gone within a few days too! I haven't seen an ant in a few months now! I will be telling everyone I know about this bait gel from now on, if they have ant problems too!

My sister had a large ant problem as she lives in a mobile near a small wooded area and when visiting last summer in Illinois I saw first hand how well this worked for her... Fast forward to this year and now I'm having ant issues (California) so.. I bought some of this. There was a tiny piece of shredded beef meat left on a paper plate from lunch and the ants were all over it on my kitchen counter so I placed some of this bait and within a few minutes they were eating it. I took the plate outside into the shade where I saw them around the foundation. I also placed some into a whip cream cap with whip cream remnants and added a dash of honey to the inside and the placed the bait around the honey drop to bring them in quicker... they ate it up like wild fire. I like using the cap as it helps the bait stay moist. Ants are at substantial decrease within 24 hours. I'll bet within 48 they will be gone completely. This stuff works! No mess either... I can't stand those sprays! I use glass cleaner in the house to kill them immediately when in large numbers before setting this bait for the few that are left overs.

Because of ant's excavations under my patio, I've removed pavers, added sand and put them back down, twice. Enough is enough.The ants are pretty small, about 1/8" (3mm) long and can be found all around my foundation, yard perimeter & driveway. I've poured some high-priced liquid concentrates (diluted per directions) around the house, and other locations. It didn't seem to help, so opted to try a gel.Amazon reviews were both good & bad for the same product, so I bought one Hot Shot Ultra Clear Roach & Ant Gel Bait and one Syngenta 68078 Advion Singular Tube Ant Gel Lure to compare.The Hot Shot gel seemed to get a lot of yawns from the ants - they seem to be uninterested, although the next days, some of it was gone.The Advion got a lot of attention. Groups of up to a dozen or more immediately clustered around the small, pea-sized blobs I put down. The next day, the Advion was gone from all locations.While hoping for an immediate end to the Advion-treated ants, that didn't happen. 3 days later, I'm still putting it down next to the ant hills and they continue to take it away. More hills appeared today, after a light rain yesterday.Since it's getting attention, I'll buy another 1 oz. tube and hope for the best. Maybe the nest has multiple queens, and I haven't gotten to them yet.=====================9/11/22 Follow upAlthough the number of patio anthills reduced, the ants continue to thrive. So, I ordered more stuff to try.To summarize my efforts:1. tried Hot Shot clear gel - ants ignored it.2. Used one tube of Advion for a week or more - ants took away all I put down, but they kept coming back.3. Put down Terro bait traps which were ignored.4. Put down Terro liquid which resulted in a big reduction in the number for ants around my driveway, but not the patio. Different species?5. Sprinkled Harris Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth on patio & around foundation and driveway. No apparent results yet (3 days), but I read it may take from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Dangerous stuff to inhale.My patio ants don't seem to be affected by the liquid & gels used so far. Keeping my fingers crossed re the diatomaceous earth.Next efforts will include Borax/peanut butter mix, vinegar, then . . . ?==============================Update 9/23/22Success at last.After sprinkling moderate applications of DE (Harris Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth) on/around the patio anthills & trails, the patio ants have disappeared. The very few stragglers that appear seem to be coming in from under the adjacent chimney chase which was hard to get to, but I'll put some down as well as I can. There are also no visible signs of ants on/around the driveway.There is still moderate ant activity in the rock border around the back yard and other areas of the house foundation where I lighted sprinkled the DE. A heavier application will be soon applied.Re a concern I have about using the DE:I have two dogs who are always snuffling around the yard to check out new smells. Inhalation of DE is very dangerous - it can cause breathing issues, e.g. from nose, throat, lung irritation, to even destroying tissue. The dogs were monitored closely to keep them away from the patio. Fortunately, a few days later, a light rain seemed to dilute the DE to the point of appearing to be gone. But I'm guessing it simply helped to move the DE into spaces between the pavers. The biggest reduction of ants seemed to be AFTER the rain. And other reports I've read say water won't deactivate the DE - it's still active/potent but can't be seen. And the dogs are paying no special attention to the patio.I'll repost this review under my DE purchase.
