Its granular form with larger grit sizes enhances uptake and distribution within nests, providing a comprehensive and effective pest control solution. ## 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.

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 β€œkick”. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work on crazy ants. ## Frequently Bought Together - BASF Advance Carpenter Ant Bait Granules, Ready to Use Indoor or Outdoor, Attracts and Controls Ants, 8 oz - Bayer 10072 Max Force Fleet Ant Gel, Light Yellow - TERRO Ant Killer Bait Stations T300B - Liquid Bait to Eliminate Ants - 12 Count Stations for Effective Indoor Ant Control --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/5166135-basf-advance-carpenter-ant-bait-granules-ready-to-use-indoor](https://www.desertcart.be/products/5166135-basf-advance-carpenter-ant-bait-granules-ready-to-use-indoor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
