Maxforce Carpenter Ant bait gel provides FAST CONTROL of Carpenter ants
in 3-5 days.
The high moisture content of this gel enhances the bait's attractiveness
to target carpenter ants.
The attractiveness is greatest within two weeks of application.
Maxforce Carpenter Ant bait gel with Fipronil uses foraging worker Carpenter
ants to take it back to nests in hidden, inaccessible areas.
This formula is a delayed-action kill, the workers feed on it and share
the insecticide with the nest, thus killing the entire colony, including
the queen/ queens.
Maxforce gel ant bait for carpenter ants has a unique mixture of honeydew
and protein.
Honeydew is one of the main staples in a carpenter ant diet.
At various times during the year, the carpenter ants will prefer a food
containing only protein such as Advance 375 A Select Bait. When this occurs they more than likely will not take the Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel
Advance
375 A Select Ant Bait.
We carry both products(Maxforce and Advance) in a kit called Carpenter Ant Bait Kit
When used together they would provide a complete diet in order to bait more effectively.
