Advance Carpenter Ant Bait, manufactured by BASF, is a specially formulated abamectin-based granular bait that provides reliable ant control in and around structures, lawns, and residential areas.
This protein-based granular bait has a delayed action that gives the ants enough time to take the lethal material back to their nest and control the entire colony. It kills worker ants such as argentine, carpenter, pharaoh, and fire ants, immediately stopping egg-laying and foraging activity.
Advance Carpenter Ant Bait is an attractive protein-based ant bait that allows users to control ants in different areas of the property, including around termite bait stations.
