How Advance Carpenter Ant Bait
Works
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.
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
Carpenter Ants
PESTS CONTROLLED WITH ADVANCE CARPENTER ANT
BAIT: Carpenter Ants and many common varieties of
household ants such as Acrobat, Argentine, Bigheaded, Crazy, Field,
Fire, Harvester, Lasius, Little Black, Pavement, Pharaoh, Odorous
House, and Thief Ants
Target Uses
Use Advance Carpenter Ant Bait for many common household ants
seeking protein. 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 protein dietary needs while using
the delayed-action insecticide Abamectin. This product works well
when used in combination with a bait gel.
Baits are also a great tool in sensitive situations where
spraying is not acceptable. Baits have extremely low toxicity to
people and pets, and they can be applied discreetly.
ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Abamectin 0.011%
Advance Carpenter Ant Bait Application
Instructions
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. Indoors, use up to 1.5 oz. of product in
heavily traveled sites. Do not use in areas that have been treated
with insecticides or sprays. This will cause the bait to be
unattractive to the ants. Advance Carpenter Ant Bait is best
applied in small piles where ant activity is found.
Carpenter Ants are most active at night and tend to start
trailing about 30 minutes before sunset. If activity is difficult
to find, try looking around the structure about 1 hour before
sunrise. Monitor bait placements closely and reapply as needed
until no more ant activity is seen. How much product is needed will
depend on colony size. Always read the product label.
Advance Carpenter Ant Bait can also be used in stations such as
bait plate stations to protect from rain or dust and for easy
placement and clean-up. Bait plate stations also protect bait from
pets or children.
Yield will vary greatly with user and application needs.
An 8 oz. container covers ½ acre for broadcast applications, treats
around approximately 4 mounds, or treats 5-15 sites indoors. A 2
lb. container covers 2 acres for broadcast application, treats
around approximately 16 mounds, or treats 20-60 site
indoors.

traveled sites, use up to 1.5 ounces of product. Use a B&G Bulb
Duster or other appropriate application device to place the product
into crevices or voids. Repeat application as necessary. Do not use

(to sewers), entries and vestibules, offices, locker rooms, machine
rooms, boiler rooms, garages, mop closets and storage (after
canning or bottling). When applying this product in the home, all
food processing surfaces and utensils should be covered during
treatment or thoroughly washed before use. Exposed food should be
covered or removed.
If a residual spray is being use, keep sprays low and baits up
high. Do not spray liquid or aerosol insecticides on top of bait
applications.
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.
AROUND STRUCTURES: Lightly sprinkle the product evenly in a
band approximately 1 - 2 feet wide around the foundation of the
building. Treat visible trails with approximately 1 ounce of
product. Repeat application as necessary.

Extra Tips
*Do not use in areas that have been treated with sprays or

or be washed away in rain.
*Use within one year of purchase for best results.
*Can be used in convenient and clear bait plate stations for

food-handling areas, such as in kitchens.
*Do not disturb the natural behavior of trailing ants or
foraging ants. Placements should be made near the ants, but not on
them or in the middle of the trail. By disrupting their normal
behavior, bait avoidance may occur.
*Monitor bait placements closely and reapply as needed until ant
activity ceases. Colony size will vary, so many repeat treatments
may be needed to eradicate a colony.
