Advance Granular Carpenter Ant Bait - 8 oz

Advance Carpenter Ant Bait is a specially formulated product designed to eliminate carpenter ants. This bait can be used both indoors and outdoors to control the ant population. The formulation caters to the dietary needs of carpenter ants while incorporating the delayed-action insecticide Abamectin. The product works effectively when used in conjunction with a bait gel, such as Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel.

Outdoor applications of Advance Carpenter Ant Bait can be made as a broadcast treatment around and near the perimeter of the structure, at a rate of 8 oz. per 1/2 acre. Alternatively, the bait can be applied inside wall voids or in areas where the ants forage. It is crucial to avoid using the bait in areas that have been treated with other insecticides or sprays, as this can make the bait unattractive to the ants.

Abamectin B1, the active ingredient in Advance Carpenter Ant Bait, is a GABA inhibitor that interferes with the normal functioning of an insect's nervous system. This insecticide begins affecting the ant population within 24 hours, allowing the ants to take the bait back to the nest, where it is distributed throughout the colony. The delayed-action nature of the insecticide enables the ants to consume the bait, ultimately leading to the cessation of reproduction and the elimination of the colony.

The instructions for using Advance Carpenter Ant Bait are as follows:

For outdoor broadcast application, use the product at a rate of 1 lb. per acre, applying it as uniformly as possible. Repeat the application as necessary.

Avoid the use of other insecticides or sprays on or near Advance Carpenter Ant Bait, as this can make the bait unattractive to the ants.

Advance Carpenter Ant Bait is a ready-to-use product that combines a mixture of foods and the delayed-action insecticide Abamectin. This insecticide works to reduce the population of worker ants and can cause an immediate halt in egg production, resulting in the elimination of the entire colony.

The active ingredient, Abamectin B1, is a slow-acting component that makes up 0.011% of the product, with the remaining 99.989% being other ingredients.

Advance Carpenter Ant Bait is effective against carpenter ants and many other ant species. It can be used in and around homes and commercial buildings, with the best application method being small piles where carpenter ant activity is observed.

Carpenter ants typically start trailing about 30 minutes before sunset and remain active throughout the night. If no activity is visible, it is recommended to check around the house about an hour before sunrise.

Advance Carpenter Ant Bait is pet-safe when used as directed. The product has a shelf life of 1 year if unopened, and 3 months after opening. As with any pesticide, it is essential to read the label carefully before use.
