It takes a specially formulated ant bait to get rid of carpenter ants. With Advance Carpenter Ant Bait, it doesn't take long to eliminate the entire colony. This ant bait contains the right concentration of the active ingredient to kill carpenter ants starting with the workers and finally the queen. It's perfect for ant control around homes and businesses and stops carpenter ant damage for good.
How Advance Carpenter Ant Bait Works
Advance Carpenter Ant Bait contains the same active ingredient in Advance 375A: abamectin B1. This chemical is potent against the ants but has a low toxicity, so it poses less risks to animals. Abamectin targets the carpenter ants' nervous system and causes paralysis. It's a slow-acting ingredient, giving the ants time to disperse it throughout the colony. As the ants contact and ingest the chemical, they become paralyzed and die. Once the queen falls, the entire colony will be exterminated.
Where to Use Advance for Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants can be found most everywhere around structures. They bore holes in the wood to build their nests. This damage not only makes the structure look bad but also brings down the value. Use Advance for carpenter ants in areas where the pests are found or have caused damage. Some areas where this insecticide could be useful are:
- Patios and decks
- Homes
- Businesses
- Golf courses
Consider using a bait station when using Advance Carpenter Ant Bait. The bait stations will keep the bait fresher for longer and protect it from the elements and animals.
Target Pests
Advance bait is made to kill carpenter ants where they live, breed and build their colonies. However, it's not only effective at getting rid of carpenter ants around homes and businesses. It also targets other ant species both outdoors and indoors. It eliminates fire ant mounds in the yard and odorous house ants in the kitchen. The active ingredient also works perfectly to control Argentine and Rasberry crazy ant species.
Pros of Using Advance Carpenter Ant Bait
Though many insecticides contain ingredients to kill ants, Advance Carpenter Ant Bait is made specifically to target ant species. A broad-spectrum insecticide may not provide as effective results. Advance may work more slowly, but it gets to the source of the colony and eliminates it from within. Other benefits of this ant killer include:
- Works indoors and outdoors
- Can be combined with ant gels
- Provides effective ant control within 24 hours
- Targets several ant species in one
- Works slowly to eliminate the entire colony
