What is the difference between this and the Advance 375a Select Granular Ant Bait ?

Not sure, they both have some same amount of Abamectin, as the active ingredient. Abamectin is a delayed-action insecticide, allowing for greater overall colony control. I have only been using it for about a week and it seems to be working, I have seen only about 3 ants in the house since I put out the baits. Also, it's attracting and I hope killing roaches too!

I sprinkled a can of the carpenter ant bait around the perimeter of the house for two years in a row and still had a carpenter ant crisis this week! The exterminator was here for four hours yesterday, used a battery of different products, and described treatment on a monthly basis for six months and possibly a year. The ants that show up are only about from 1% to 3% of the colony present!

Might want to check with the manufacturer, but I believe the 375a is for ants in general and the Select Carpenter ant bait specifically targets those type of ants.

All we can tell you is that Advance 375a killed a bad infestation of Carpenter ants 18 months age and they have not returned. Good luck.Randy & Mary Kenny

I have them both. The 375a has not been effective for me on carpenter ants, so I use it for other types. The Carpenter Ant Bait works well for me on carpenter ants specifically, but give it a few days to be effective. Note also that I use them outside. Find the paths they travel and sprinkle some bait. It ends up eliminating those that have gotten into the house.

You may have odorous house ants, which the Maxforce ant killer bait gel would be effective on. However, if the ants are something else that truly only is attracted to protein, the Maxforce Complete granular ant bait that includes both sugar and protein bait components might work better.

Hello. I do not know the answer to this as I used it for trying to get rid of the ants in my lawn. It kept them at bay but unfortunately they still persist.

I received Ant Bait Gel as pictured, as ordered. I've used Carpenter Ant Bait Gel in the past, and love it too; it will pull crazy sized winged creatures out of the wall you never knew you had! Of course, if you have Carpenter ants, you have a moisture problem that must be solved as well.

The only difference is the ash catcher. I'm not sure of the price difference.

The word you're looking for is Octenal, and yes, it is an Octenal based bait. The Skeeter Vac itself burns propane gas from a tank like your barbeque grill. The SkeeterVac people are not real interested in standing behind their product after the warranty expires, and it is absurdly expensive. That said, it works great for the first two or three years. After that you will catch more flies than mosquitoes, and you'll be kicking yourself for buying the thing. At least that's my experience with it.

According to information on previous review the active ingredient is Fipronil. According to Wikipedia "It is a slow acting poison. When used as bait, it allows the poisoned insect time to return to the colony or harborage. In cockroaches, the feces and carcass can contain sufficient residual pesticide to kill others in the same nesting site. In ants, the sharing of the bait among colony members assists in the spreading of the poison throughout the colony. With the cascading effect, the projected kill rate is about 95% in three days for ants and cockroaches. Fipronil serves as a good bait toxin not only because of its slow action, but also because most, if not all, of the target insects do not find it offensive or repulsive." Regarding whether the attractant is "sweet" or "protein" -- I really don't know; however, the ants that we killed had been attracted to sweet thing.

This one did not work well at all. The Combat Max Large Roach Bait (link: http://www.amazon.com/Combat-Source-Large-Child-Resistant-Stations/dp/B001ACMBJK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1407113338&sr;=8-1&k;eywords=combat+max+large+roach) works GREAT. I have no idea what the difference is, but it's noticeable by what is left alive after they've been put out.

The active ingredient in Maxforce FC Ant Bait Gel, Fipronil, is in the Phenylpyrazole family of insecticides and is used in many products when a delayed kill is desired, such as ant and roach baits. Fipronil disrupts the insect central nervous system, causing hyperexcitation of nerves and muscles.

Terro says product is for "Attracting and killing all common household ants including Argentine ants, ghost ants, cornfield ants, pavement ants, acrobat ants, white footed ants, little black ants, odorous house ants and other sweet eating ants." Terro is a sweet bait; grease eating ants are attracted to protein. They might go for Terro; however if protein sources are still to be found in your house they will probably ignore the bait. I haven't had a problem with grease eating ants, but I understand that from folks who have that the Combat formula is better for attracting grease eating ants. You can also make your own baits for grease eaters by mixing boric acid (a white powder you can find in drugs stores or hardware stores) with peanut butter. Just make sure that the bait is out of reach of kids and animals (I have used boric acid/watermelon bait successfully with sweet-eating ants. However, it can only be used indoors, as sun dries it up and rain washes it away.) Good Luck!

Yes! I mainly use it for sugar ants. Let them take the bait back to their "nest"...meaning...you need to let them crawl around for a day after leaving the bait out without killing them. Once it's been out for a day or two you will notice...no more ants. Many months later you may notice a return, if it's a problem area but you'll have the Terro on hand!

Thank you for the question. I am sorry wee do not sell something similar for large ants.

I think that simply using it as directed will get better results. Near the ant trail squeeze out a glob about the size of a green pea. The ants love the stuff and go out of their way to bring it back to the colony. I wouldn't dilute it.

The scale is greatr as far as my use. I do not know what ANT+ is. Please inform me. I would like to know even if I cannot answere your question!

Yes! I use both because the station doesn't always fit into a tiny spot where I see the ants going into. If I can't get the bait box close, I use the gel only. Also, when I use the bait stations, I squirt a small amount of the gel into the 4 openings on the station to help attract the ants to the core of the bait station. Hope this helps. PS.... I got all of these tips from my professional exterminator.

Contrac Blox is what my exterminator used, so I just used the same. I don't know if it is the best, but I have killed quite a number of rats. I haven't seen bait carried out of the box. I have seen left over pieces of grain in the bottom of the box that I suppose could be spilled out if the box was shaken or tipped on its side. I keep mine flat and don't tip it. I think this occurs when other pests eat the bait (lizards or roaches). I also add roach bait to mine if the rat bait has attracted roaches.
