Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS)
Bayer's Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait provides fast control of carpenter ants in just 3 to 5 days. Though its method of control is rather slow than contact kill insecticides, Maxforce offers a control solution that targets the root of all ant infestations - ant colonies. Using a powerful combination of attractive ingredients and a slow-acting active ingredient, Maxforce eliminates carpenter ants by the colony. Foraging ants harvest the bait and the active ingredient is transferred to colony members including the queen. When the queen dies, so too does the colony.
Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel uses food grade ingredients with high acceptance rates to carpenter ants.

(5/5) Review by Harold (Posted on )Carpenter Ant Removal
The Maxforce destroyed the ants in about 3 days. I had a resurgance in a few days, a second round wiped them out completely. I found dosing frequently to be the most effective. I put fresh bait out twice per day the second time for 2 days and they were all killed. Very pleased with product.
(5/5) Review by Nicole (Posted on )Outstanding Job!!!
Excellent product. My only suggestion is to lay it in larger amount than the directions suggest. We tried the drops they suggested first, but didn't get much response. Next, we laid the possion in strips and suddenly we had ants everywhere eating the stuff up.
Now we haven't seen a carpenter ant in weeks. AWESOME!
(5/5) Review by Shanon (Posted on )This product works incredibly well for the elimination of Carpenter Ants and general ants as well. Take it from a former pest control technician.
(4/5) Review by Jeanne (Posted on )worked quickly
After we took down a tree in our back yard, we had an abundance of carpenter ants- obviously we disrupted a nest. Applied the bait and then it rained for a few days *Oregon weather* so no results. Reapplied when there was a few days of sun and watched the biggest ants wander in circles and die. Obviously they took enough bait back to kill the nest as the next time the sun came out, the ants did not! I have a second tube on hand just in case, but it does not look like we will need it.

OMG UNBELIEVEABLE RESULTS!!!!
Best product by far! Huge ant colony destroyed in 1 week!!! 10 minutes to walk around the area where I saw the little wood piles and squirt a bit of gel in the cracks of the tree trunk and under my deck... I watched them as they ate ALL the bait I had put out. They ate it all up within hours! 3 days later I only saw 1 or 2 ants, 1 week later I can't even find 1 ant! So easy to apply - does not run where you place it. Adheres into the cracks! I was reluctant to use a professional strength product, but not any more! Saved time, lots of money and the summer fustration of dealing with huge amounts of big carpenter ants on the deck and coming into my house!

Your Gel has rid me of 99% of my ant problem. The other 1% is the weekly occurrence of seening an ant in the house.I cannot believe last year the exterminator that I use for my yearly mice problem came to the house to take care of my Carpenter ants and charged me $195.00 for the visit and then told me that I would need two more visits at $146.00 each in 2 and 4 weeks.
I will be ordering from your company what I need to bait my fall mice problem and not pay him $95.00 per visit.
Thank you!
(5/5) Review by Mary M (Posted on )Can't believe how fast it worked!
I can't believe how fast this worked on the pesky carpenter ants. I put it out and for the first time saw where they were coming from since they were marching to it in broad daylight. I put more near the nest. It was a feeding frenzy. More and more ants came out to feed on the gel. Although I felt like a cruel murderer, the feelings didn't last long as ALL the ants were dead within two days! Buy this product (make sure it's the carpenter ant bait gel and not their other product of ant bait gel).
(5/5) Review by Gerry B. (Posted on )ant carpenter
I had been troubled by carpenter ants a lot. Whenever I would go out of the house I would see lots of ants in the porch and I didn’t like it. It got to the point that if I kept anything sweet out, then it would be fully covered with big black ants. 1 tube lasts me a month or sometimes two and always gives the best results. It was a satisfactory experience.
(4/5) Review by Stephen C. (Posted on )carpenter ants bait
I was sick of the stupid carpenter ants in my home and I was sick of getting tricked by ads in buying ineffective insecticides and things. Then a friend suggested Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel. I was convinced by just the name since I knew that any insecticide that has specific target is bound to be at least 5 times as effective as other insecticides and when I used it I saw that I was right. I highly recommend Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait.
(4/5) Review by Linda L. (Posted on )What kinds of insecticide do you want- the kind that cost you $100 and doesn’t work against ants or the one that has been built especially for carpenter ants? I wanted the easily affordable and cheap Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel and I was damn right to have wanted that. My ant problem was solved and now I just apply it occasionally to reduce the chance of more ant colonies being made in my home. I am really very happy with the performance of Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel as t s strong enough to deal with most types of ants. If you don’t believe me then try it out yourself and you will know whether I am speaking the truth or not.

(5/5) Review by Russell Frye (Posted on )maxforce ant bait
Using Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel I found that the acrobat ants in my home were dead within the week. Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel uses a formula to attract ants to it and the active ingredient in the gel kills the ants. It makes sure the worker ant that has spotted the bat lives long enough to carry some of the bait back to the colony and to inform the other ants about the whereabouts of the bait, slowly poisoning and killing the whole population of ants.
(5/5) Review by Billie Moss (Posted on )Carpenter ant species reside both outdoors and indoors in moist, decaying or hollow wood. Our home is made of wood and I am always worried that they might destroy our house so I always apply Maxforce to prevent it from happening. To my surprise after 3 days, hundreds of dead carpenter ants appeared! Thanks to Maxforce my house is protected!
(5/5) Review by Maurice Weiss (Posted on )Very nice! Thank you so much!
(5/5) Review by Gladys Hunt (Posted on )I really wondered why I see so many ants around the house. I added one to my cart and thankful that I was able to choose the most effective Ant Bait Gel. I will buy and buy and buy and buy again!
(5/5) Review by Ken Duncan (Posted on )Thank you so much for this wonderful product!
(5/5) Review by Renee McNamara (Posted on )No more ants around! I really love this product and I’m going to buy another one! It’s with Fipronil with a delayed action which enables ants to bring it inside their colony damaging a larger number of ants.
(5/5) Review by Rose Ross (Posted on )Simply amazing! In jus 3 days, I was able to see the result! This product just killed a million ants and I am so happy! Thank you so much. I already recommended this to my friends and I will buy again. Thanks again!
(5/5) Review by Ruth Murray (Posted on )Have ordered several times always quick and less expensive than most.
(4/5) Review by Kathryn Walker (Posted on )Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Get is the greatest! I could never ask for more. Fipronil is a slow acting poison that is why it’s not just an ant but colonies of it are killed due to the reason that ants have the chance to bring this gel inside the colony allowing others to eat the gel.
(5/5) Review by Junemill77 (Posted on )This stuff, Maxforce carpenter ant bait, is incredible...It takes a little while to work (about a week or two until the disappear), but in the end No more ants. it works & its simple!
(5/5) Review by Xiaodi Chen (Posted on )It works! After a week I don't see any of them around in our house. even though I never seen any carpenter ants around the bait. It attracts the smaller ant as well.
