Not a great combination
By Anthony on 08/10/2010
It seems to me for carpenter ants the gel is the way to go. The ants were gobbling the liquid up and the second I sprinkled the granular stuff near by the all stopped. A few picked up pieces and brought it into the nest but 2 minutes later others ants carried it right back out. Also the granular stuff burnt all of the plants I inadvertently sprinkled it on so be careful if you have pricey plants.

Choose Taurus SC Instead
By Alan on 06/25/2012
Used this kit last year and still had ant problem. Chose Taurus SC this year instead (it's listed in the menu under "Termites"). I was skeptical, but desperate. With one application of Taurus SC around the perimeter of my house, the ants were gone. Like magic.

No success..........
By Vern on 04/06/2010
I had a carpenter ant nest in the open beam ceiling of my home. Kept finding drones inside. I used the gel and the bait stations at the nest openings and around the floor where the drones seemed to appear. After 10 days, we were finding even more ants. The nest was still active. I finally sprayed Drione into the nest area, and the ants have finally disappeared. I never saw any ants interested in the bait or gel.

Don't bother
By Scott on 04/06/2013
Surrounded my foundation with the granules. Placed both liquid and and granular bait throughout house. It has been a month and zero impact. I've noticed zero carpenter ant activity around the traps. The ants have no interest whatsoever in this bait. Given my experience, I must wonder about the legitimacy of the rave reviews I've read here. I've been had...save your money.

ANTS
By Jane on 08/19/2010
I still have ants coming into the ceiling...recommendation from company was to put both products on paper plate and tape to ceiling. After climbing up ladder..the plate fell and stuff fell in my face...granules are too hard for ceiling. The gel had very little in container for the cost...gave out before I got to cover area. Products they say only works for 2 weeks...would be nice for ants to find it faster and take to queen! I used granules last year alone...did not work.
