    Q
    How long should Advion Ant Bait Gel be reapplied if Carpenter Ants are still active after 2 applications over 17 days?
    I have seen a big difference in population after using the gel (Carpenter Ants) but they reappeared after a couple of days. This time they are actually reappearing but they look lost and sick/dying for a lot of them.
    A

    Advion Ant Bait Gel uses the non repellent active ingredient Indoxacarb which is a slow acting treatment that allows ants time to take the bait back to the colony and share with other ants. This is preferred for treating Carpenter Ants to ensure the entire colony receives the ant bait.

    Continue to use as many bait placements as needed to active foraging areas without disrupting the natural foraging behavior of the ant colony. This means placing bait gel just barely off the foraging trails and areas where you see them traveling. 

    Please view our Carpenter Ant Treatment Guide for more information.

    Q
    Where would the manufactured date and expiration date be written on Advion Ant Bait Gel?
    A

    Syngenta, the manufacturer of Advion moved away from REL dates on their baits and they now come with a Lot # that corresponds to the production of that product. The first 3 letters will usually be "ABW" which can be ignored as this corresponds to the facility the batch was produced in. The next number is for the last digit of the year it was produced. For 2021 this would be ABW1. To indicate the month, the letter after the year in the code would be in alphabetical order if January = A, February = B. So a Lot of ABW1B would be produced in February of 20201. The dates of Advion Ant Bait Gel will be located on the tubes themselves. 

    The shelf life of bait gels is 2-3 years when stored in a cool dry temperature control environment and not exposed to extreme heat or freezing temps.

    Q
    Do ants develop resistance to Advion Ant Gel?
    I have been using Advion ant gel successfully for 3-5 years now. In our recent infestation I have been baiting indoors for almost 3 weeks, but the ants just keep on coming. They mob the stuff, disappear for a day or two, then come back. Could they have become resistant? If so, do you recommend something else to rotate to?
    A

    Ants generally look for either a sugar or a protein food source. Advion Ant Bait Gel is a sugar. We always recommend using something like Advance 375A Select Granular Bait in conjunction with the sugar bait. This will take care of both of their food sources. Please check out our Ant Guide as well for tips on how to prevent and treat for ants.  Bait aversion is more common than bait resistance.

    Q
    I have started Advion Ant gel and Advanced protein indoors
    I have started Advion Ant gel and protein indoors for a week. We saw an increase of carpenter ants eating the baits. When can I expect the numbers to die down a little? Also, noticing loner ants dying and mostly non responsive. Are we supposed to wait until they are fully dead before removing them to the trash?
    A

    After using Advion Ant Bait Gel, it is typical to see more activity, which is a good thing as they are consuming the bait. It generally can take up to 30 days or before complete elimination depending the size of the colony and the number of colonies in the area.  You should continue to bait as long as you see activity
