Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel

Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel is specially formulated to target those wood infesting ants. Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel contains high moisture and sweet diet to target these pests. The delayed action kill in Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel allows it to expose the bait to other ants in the colony, resulting in the elimination.

Active Ingredient: Fipronil* 0.001 %

(Store below 100 degrees F)

Do not apply Maxforce Carpenter ant bait to areas where the temperature exceeds 140 degrees F, as the ant bait may run.

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 365 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.
