How Advance 375A Select Granular Ant Bait
Works
PT brand Advance 375A select granular ant bait uses special
proteins and carbohydrates combined with a unique corn grit matrix
that quickly entices these "select" ants to readily take the bait
back to the colony. Once the bait is consumed, the reliable active
ingredient, Abamectin B1, quickly reduces populations to acceptable
levels.
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.
Target Pests
Most common household ants
PESTS CONTROLLED WITH ADVANCE 375A: Ants,
including many common varieties of household ants such as Acrobat,
Argentine, Bigheaded, Carpenter, Crazy, Field, Fire, Harvester,
Little Black, Pavement, Pharaoh, Odorous House and Thief Ants.
Target Uses
Advance 375A can be used for most common household ants that are
seeking protein. Use Advance 375A in conjunction with a sweet bait
such as Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel. The two baits can be used
side-by-side in convenient and clear bait plate stations. (All
three items may be purchased together in our Complete Ant Kit.
Advance 375A Select Granular 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. 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.
ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Abamectin 0.011%
Application Instructions
Advance can be used indoors and outdoors to control the ant
population. This bait formulation provides for the ant's dietary
needs while using the delayed-action insecticide Abamectin. Apply

use up to 1.5 oz. of product in heavily traveled sites.
Applications may be repeated as necessary. Do not use in food/feed
handling areas of food/feed handling establishments. See below for
more details.

stations to protect from rain or dust and for easy placement and
clean-up. Bait plate stations also protect bait from pets or
children.
