Advion Ant Gel Bait works in minutes to attract different species of ants in minutes. After ants ingest the bait, the active ingredient works to affect their nervous system, ultimately paralyzing and killing the ants. Because of the way ants structure their colonies, the ants that initially find the bait will automatically take some back to ants that are still in the nest. After a couple of days, the bait will have made its way around the entire colony to kill it off effectively.
Some reviewers felt that the bait did not work as fast as promised. If this happens to you, try using the bait in different areas around your home until you see ants starting to eat the bait.
Most users only need to use a dot of bait to appeal to ants. Once the bait is gone, you can reapply – this is usually required at least once a day. If you have a small infestation, you probably will not need to use an entire tube. Luckily, the formulation maintains its integrity for an extended time so that you can reuse the bait for quite a while.
