## Overview

BASF Advance Carpenter Ant Bait Granules deliver a scientifically formulated, ready-to-use solution that exploits ant social behavior to eliminate entire colonies.

## Description

DESCRIPTION: Advance Carpenter Ant Bait is specially formulated to kill carpenter ants. Advance can be used indoors and outdoors to control the ant population. This carpenter ant bait formulation provides for the carpenter ant's dietary needs while using the delayed-action insecticide Abamectin. This product works well when used in combination with a bait gel such as Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel. USE: Advance Carpenter Ant Bait can be used outdoors as a broadcast application around and close to the perimeter of the structure (8oz. per 1/2 acre), or on the interior inside wall voids or in areas where ants forage. Do not use in areas that have been treated with insecticides or sprays. This will cause the bait to be unattractive to the ants. Always read the label! Abamectin B1 is a GABA inhibitor that interferes with the normal functioning of an insect's nervous system and begins affecting ant populations within 24 hours. This type of insecticide allows the ants time to take the bait back to the nest where it is distributed throughout the colony. Reproduction of the colony halts once the queens have been eliminated and the workers, who carried the bait, perish. Instructions: ADVANCE Carpenter Ant Bait is a ready-to-use product for use in controlling numerous ants both indoors and outdoors. This bait formulation combines a mixture of foods and the delayed action insecticide, Abamectin. This insecticide acts to reduce the population of worker ants and can cause an immediate halt in egg production resulting in colony elimination. Avoid use of other insecticides or sprays on or near ADVANCE. OUTDOORS BROADCAST APPLICATION: Use this product at a rate of 1 lb. per acre. Apply the product as uniformly as possible. Repeat application as necessary. SEE LABEL FOR COMPLETE DIRECTIONS

Review: Worked Great! - This bait really works for carpenter ants! I fear these little pests because they can do so much structural damage to your home. There are different varieties of these ants and are often mistaken for fire ants. I found a trail of them along the side of my house and cedar fence. I could not see where they were coming from nor where they were going. I was afraid they would enter the weep holes of my bricks. I tried the liquid spray from the big box store nearby which worked when sprayed directly on the ants. They also avoided sprayed areas until the next rain would wash the poison away and they were right back to their business. Following the directions on the container, I sprinkled the ADVANCE poison and watched the carpenter ants go nuts for the stuff! They immediately grabbed the granules - it even seemed as if they were fighting to get them - and began carrying them away. The next day - no ants! I was amazed. I also put some on a fire ant mound, and unfortunately, it did not kill them. The bait was gone the next day but the fire ants were still very much alive and active. I'm not worried about the fire ants - they're a nuisance but my Ortho Max works fine on them - it was the carpenter ants that had my concern. This did the trick and will now be a standard part of my arsenal.
Review: Kills Carpenter Ants - Household, PA - This treatment actually worked. Once I was able to find how the ants were entering my house (see picture), I place the bait/killer next to it. The ants were all over it! Over several days, they actually took the small piles away and I added more each night. After about 3-4 days, I noticed that the activity decreased. Today, I am finding dead ants in some rooms. Not many of them, but I am thinking that it's from the bait/killer. The instructions say that it takes about 24 hours before it starts to work. Maybe it did, but it took a few days for me to see the actual results as it went through their hive (I hope). I will continue to place the bait/killer until the piles go untouched and no ants are detected. I am impressed with the results. I've been fighting these guys for a few years and even tried outdoor treatments. The key was finding their entry. If you find it, try this bait/killer. Good luck!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work on Forlieus ants?**
A: I only used it on carpenter ants and I could not get the ants to eat or carry it back to the nest. I ended up using another ant poison.

**Q: Which ant killer is the best**
A: This ant killer is great because it wipes out the whole nest - not just the ants you actually see. Ant workers carry the granules back to the nest where the other ants will eat it and die. After a week or so you should see a major difference in ant activity until eventually you will see no activity at all because they are all dead.

**Q: Who is the manufacturer? Is it Whitmire Micro-Gen Research Laboratories Inc?**
A: used to be .. BASF bought them years ago .

**Q: Has anyone used this product on Crazy Ants?**
A: I’ve used this successfully with carpenter ants, brown sugar ants, and Argentine ants. It’s ant food with a “kick”. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work on crazy ants.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Might have worked
*by D***. on June 10, 2025*

I sprinkled this in 3 areas where carpenter ants were coming out of walls. I watched quite a bit to see if ants would pick granules up and take back to nest. I never saw ants take any interest in granules. After a couple of weeks I reapplied granules. As the days went on there were less and less ants. Maybe they finally started eating the granules. It has been a couple months now since I have seen a carpenter ant. So maybe they got hungry and started eating this when I wasn't looking. Four stars because I never saw them pick up a piece.
