Customer Reviews for Advion Ant Bait Gel

Previously had good results with Terro, but that quit working so well. Switched to Advion and 'wow' do the ants love it! Sometimes it may take a week or longer to wipe out a large nest, but it does the trick in 3 to 10 days. I use the gel and Advance 375A granules and have 'no' or dead ants in a few days.

This stuff works great! Lay down a finger nail size drop near ant trail and watch them line up to eat it. No ants after 3 days

I highly recommend this product. It worked tremendously well against the Carpenter Ants getting into my home. Read the directions carefully. I applied it where I saw the Ants coming into my home using one vial each week for a month.

I've been using this product around the home for a few years now with great success. I do a small test to see if the ants want sugar or protein. If they want sugar I put this down near the source of their trail and within a few days the colony has subsided. Not an instant fix, yet far more effective that quick spot elimination. If they want protein I use the Advance 375A

I have used a mix of granular and past bait for carpenter ants in the past, with good success. This spring not so much. Wondering if there are other options, or if I should just be patient

I had sugar ants in my kitchen and bathroom. I used this product once and so far no ants! It's been almost a month!

I saved hundreds by putting the ant bait out myself. All the ants are gone now. Had tried Terro and Amdro bait without success. With just using the ant bait I avoided chemical sprays. I Don't like sprays because I have dogs who lick floors, etc. Best of all I'm not tied into a contract with an exterminator.

Started having Crazy Ants everywhere in the backyard last year. They tried coming in a few times in the fall and used some Talstar-P to knock them down inside. Fast forward to spring and they breached the interior again. Looked up this bait and saw that it is carried back to the nest and kills the colony slowly. I put little beads of bait near the ants trails everyday. They'd swarm to it, sometimes eating the entire bead by days end for the first few days. Towards the end of victory, they'd eat less as less were coming around. Took about 10 days in total. Must have been a large nest(s).

This stuff is amazing! Just a few drops in an ant line and they flock to it like crazy! The ants bring it back to the nest and feed each other and within a few days the nest will be destroyed! You'll see tremendous reduction in ants over the first 24 hours and with repeated treatments, you will kill the whole colony and the eggs. I found out about this product from a local exterminator when I had an ant problem. He actually gave me the remainder of a tube to use and killed off my then ant problem. The only reason I needed to buy more is due to me frequently bringing in fire wood to my back yard that sometimes has ant colonies in them and they wind up getting established in my back yard. Once I notice a colony, out comes the gel and away goes the ants. A four pack like I bought will last you years upon years if you use it properly. Just a little drop in a few places along an ant line will do the trick!

I had to apply this 4 times before it killed all the ants & got the nest. It is a life saver and the only way that I could get rid of the ants. I had an exterminator for two years & they did good for awhile and all of a sudden they couldn't get rid of the ants in my bathroom. So I got Ant Bait Gel and they were gone in about a week. Love this stuff & will never be without it again.

I have very tiny ants in my kitchen wall close to the sink and dishwasher. I have used home remedies and a professional exterminator to no avail. I now watch the ants to see where they are coming from. It is usually a hairline crack in the backsplash grout, unbelievably fine. I cut a sturdy paper plate into 4 sections and put a little gel on one section at a time. It really attracts the ants. I place it near their entrance through the crack. I also have the exterminator spray the outside wall. This has been the most effective way and the only way I have found to get rid of these ants.

We have had varying ant issues for some time. NOTHING seemed to work, until we purchased the ADVION Ant Bait Gel! It has been the only thing that has actually worked in getting rid of the ants. It took a few days, but works! Thank you so much for this amazing product.

Getting rid of these ants have contributed to improving the quality of my life! This works faster and better than Raid. No contest! Even to the untrained eye... I will make a mental note NOT to wait weeks next year when the ants come out! Just start using this right away and in 3 days you can be in your kitchen again rather than wait 3 weeks for the Raid baited traps to start/fail to work before I try Advion. Thank you to the nice man that suggested Advion!!!!

I have used Avion Ant Gel for years. It is more effective than any OTC, and I have tried many of them for naught.

I was extremely impressed with how fast this product worked. I had a HUGE ant problem on my deck. Ants were all over the column pillars as well as the patio area. I applied a few drops of this gel on the columns in their "line of traffic" and within 24 hour there was NOT A SINGLE ant in sight. It's been almost 4 weeks and still no ant! This stuff works!!!

It did not seem to work for me. Had placed Terro Receptacles several days earlier. Ants finally disappeared about a week after applying gel as well. (Same as they did last year with using Terro only.)

  Expert response:
That can happen as they are not always looking for a sugar/carb protein. Advion Ant Bait Gel is highly appealing to sweet feeding ants. It is highly recommended to also use Advion Insect Granular Bait Insecticide or Maxforce Complete Granular Bait which are protein baits. You should always give ants a choice as they may be in the mood for either a protein (granule) or a sugar (gel) bait. Using Bait Plate Stations with your baits is an easy way to offer two different baits at one time.

If you're baiting ants with sugar this doesn't work. I can guarantee you my ants want sugar not protein, I've tested it with sweets, tried it with protein and compared it to other products like Terro and do homemade stuff with borax and the ants don't like this bait at all. I'm surprised as to why they didn't like it, I've always thought Advion is reliable but I guess its also a hit or miss

This works so much more quickly and effectively than the store bought ant treatments. I noticed an invasion of little black ants in my kitchen in the morning and after, setting out some Advion gel, saw that they were gone that same evening never to be seen again. I use dabs of gel outside wherever I see ant trails on the house foundation. Advion ant gel always does the job quickly.

After I had seen this product work (by my exterminator) she advised me to try it. I was greatly impressed on how quickly it worked. I had ants going up the wall on my lanai all the time. I placed some dots here and there. I had a trail of ants going up the wall and when I placed a dab of gel a little ways behind them, they did an about turn and converged on the gel. It was very impressive. I gave a tube to my son as they were having the same problem inside their house. He was impressed also. You made a believer out of me on this product. Way to go.

I used the gel inside the plastic bait traps the company sells since I have pets in the home. Unfortunately the carpenter ants won't touch it. Not sure if the gel doesn't taste good according to the ants or they won't enter the trap for whatever reason.

  Expert response:
Carpenter ants do not typically go into stations It is best to apply small placements in cracks and crevices, especially where ants are seen foraging or entering the structure. Inspect gel placement and reapply as needed.

Very disappointed. I have used this product in the past with great success. This time it had not effect. The solution was very watered down. Don't know if it was defective or if the product has changed. Any way, it had no effect. Disappointed.

Excellent product. Small dab attracts ants and they eventually disappear. Works great and is easy to use and clean up.

I have issues with carpenter ants and sugar ants every spring. I like trying new products so I bought this instead of my usual, Amdro and Terro, which both work great. This product is very easy and convenient to use, but there was no decrease in the ant population.

  Expert response:
When treating for ants even "sugar" which is just for ants looking for sweets not a type, it's important to remember that ants go between 2 different types of tastes....sugar (which is the bait gel) and protein. If they're currently foraging for protein based foods, they'll avoid the gel bait, as it's sugar based. We always recommend getting both baits to offer them so you're always insured they'll be taking one of the 2 baits.
