Maxforce Carpenter Ant bait gel provides FAST CONTROL of
Carpenter ants in 3-5 days.
The high moisture content of this gel enhances the bait's attractiveness to target carpenter ants.
The attractiveness is greatest within two weeks of application.
Maxforce Carpenter Ant bait gel with Fipronil uses foraging
worker Carpenter ants to take it back to nests in hidden, inaccessible
areas.
This formula is a delayed-action kill, the workers feed on it and share the insecticide with the nest, thus killing the entire colony, including the queen/ queens.
Maxforce gel bait for carpenter ants has a unique mixture of honeydew and protein. Honeydew is one of the main staples in a carpenter ant diet.
At various times during the year, the carpenter ants will prefer a food containing only protein such as :
Advance
Carpenter Ant Bait
We also carry both products in a kit called :
Carpenter
ant bait kit that has both the Advance Carpenter
Ant Bait and the MaxForce Carpenter Ant Gel.
When used together they would provide a complete diet.
APPLICATION:
1. Apply gel in spots in cracks and crevices. For best results, place many spots or dabs of gel where you see ants
foraging and entering structures.
2. Do not apply gel to areas that have been recently sprayed with insecticide and do not spray insecticide over gel
as this may cause the bait to become repellent. Do not apply gel to areas that are routinely washed,
such as counter tops, as gel will be removed or diluted and spread onto the surface.
3. Place bait as follows:
Gel can be placed in cracks, crevices, corners and any out of the way place, such as under and behind kitchen appliances,
along baseboards, under sinks, in pantry , around pipes and water heater, window and door frames, and in the garage attic, or crawl space.
FOR INDOOR USE:

Likely locations for activity and gel placements are areas where ants enter the building structure and areas with potential water damage including:
wall voids, cracks and crevices in kitchen, bathroom, under sink, window sills, screen vents, garage, attic, and
crawl spaces.
Do not place bait in locations that are routinely or frequently washed, as the bait will be removed by washing.
Do not treat food preparation surfaces. Do not use this product in or on electrical equipment where a possibility of
shock hazard exists.
FOR OUTDOOR USE:
Place gel outdoors into, on or adjacent to structures where you see activity,nest to ant trails and suspected
areas of activity. Likely locations for activity and gel placements are points of entry
into structure and areas with potential water damage including:
eaves, soffits, weep holes, where wires and pipes enter structure, trees, stumps, roots,wood decks, fences, planter boxes
wood piles, landscaping, and railroad ties. Exposure to extreme heat or cold, direct sunlight and water may
reduce effectiveness.
