Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel, manufactured by Bayer, imitates honeydew which is a popular food source for carpenter ants. It begins to work within 3 to 5 days and has a considerable amount of moisture to make the bait irresistible.
Foraging ants take the bait back to feed the queen and larvae causing the entire colony to be eliminated in hard to reach areas within a quick time frame.
Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel is a powerful product that is highly effective in eradicating carpenter and various other species of ants.
Tools Needed
Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel can be applied with the syringe-like applicator that it comes in or it can be applied with a bait gun to treat hard to reach areas.
How to Use
- Step 1: Locate the most significant spots where ants and or ant trails are seen.
- Step 2: Shake the syringe-like applicator vigorously and then remove the cap and depress the plunger.
- Step 3: Apply small pea-size dots in areas where the ants are found and near their trails without destroying the ants' natural behavior.
- Step 4: The bait will remain effective for the next 2 weeks, reapply if necessary.
Where to Use
Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel can be used indoors and applied to cracks and crevices near ant trails and activity. It can be applied around window seals, door frames, plumbing voids, cabinets, flooring, under sink cabinets, garaged and attics. Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel can be used outdoors around window seals, door frames, wood decks, woodpiles, fences, planter boxes, and weep holes around the structure. Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel is great for residential, commercial and industrial areas.
