Advance Carpenter Ant Bait, 2 Pound Bait for Ants

When treating large outdoor areas for elimination of carpenter ants or in a carpenter ant prevention program, bulk containers of Advance Carpenter Ant Bait save money over purchasing many small containers of the same ant bait.

Many pest control operators, their technicians or others involved in structural pest control live and operate in areas where the Carpenter Ant is a major pest. Bulk size Advance Carpenter Ant Bait saves professionals are great deal of money in these situations. A pest control company which has several technicians can purchase a couple of bulk containers of this ant bait and use them to refill the 8 ounce containers of Advance Carpenter Ant Bait. The smaller containers are easier to handle, when used to dispense the product. This is also an excellent way to help control inventory and to keep baits fresh. Do not store any ant bait in a tool box or chemical shed where odors can contaminate your baits. Do not spray contact insecticides (even the safer, odorless products such as Suspend SC, Demon WP) in the same areas where a carpenter ant bait is being used. If an ant picks up your bait but is killed by a contact insecticide, the carpenter ant bait will not be dispersed throughout all of the colonies. This bait is specifically designed so that it is attractive to carpenter ants. If sprayed with an insecticide it will no longer be attractive to the targeted pests.
It is acceptable to combine a couple of different baits designed for elimination of carpenter ant colonies. Many professionals have had great success by using Advance Carpenter Ant Bait in conjunction with placements of Maxforce Gel Carpenter Ant Bait. Giving a finicky ant a couple of options (each bait is manufactured with its own special attractants) will increase your chances of success and quicken your ant management program. When used in Ant Cafe stations, you can place a gel formulated bait in many areas where granular baits are not easy to use.
Two major points of consideration, if baits and sprays are combined for a single pest:

Do not kill the foraging worker ant that is carrying your bait to the colony.

Do not contaminate your bait with an insecticide.
