Atticus Savitri Ant Gel Bait (4 x 30 Grams) - Indoor and Outdoor Use - Indoxacarb Ant Killer

This stuff WORKS. This is my second purchase. It can take up to 72 hours to see ants disappear. I moved into a new house and had them coming in everywhere. Including my bedroom nearby the top of my bed! It even drew potato bugs and killed them. It stays moist for a good while. I usually apply a thin long bead along wherever I see ants coming in. They swarm to it and either die where they are or take it back to their home if they survive the first 24 hours. Last year my neighbor was fighting them off as well. I had enough to do my 4 bedroom house, her 3 bedroom house and an entire tube left over which I was able to use on the new house. I ordered more just to have on hand.z The application is extremely easy. Once I applied I didn’t see them again for about a year. Do not throw tips or plunger away. Screw the blue head back on when not in use. They are easy to keep in any drawer without leaving a mess. I have since bought their other products but, within a couple of days I didn’t even need the other product. Purchase and keep on hand. Definitely worth the money. If you purchase and don’t feel like it’s killing them be patient, they will be completely gone within 3 days.

I tried every kind of bait I could find - the Terro stuff that everyone raves about, Advion gel bait stations, the ones you buy in the store... all of it. I made my own with honey and borax, and tried other solutions like sprays, oils, vinegar, everything. I treated the outside of the house as well, unsuccessfully. And they flat out ignored any of the bait stations. I finally had an exterminator come out. He told me to not spray Terro or anything that says "insecticide" because it alerts ants (they can smell it), and then they divide their nests and reproduce rapidly. That's why they'd go away for a few days and come back again... they were hunkering down to reproduce. So, he put some gel bait out in a few spots, and said he'd come back to treat my house once the pesticide sprays have worn off... otherwise it'd just make the problem worse again. I noticed the gel that the exterminator put out was actually attracting the ants! This hadn't happened for me with anything else. I had this Atticus Savitri gel that I hadn't opened yet, and decided to try it because it looked similar to what he was using. I don't know if it contains the same active ingredients. But I do know that it worked with the same level of effectiveness. I put the gel in cracks wherever I saw ants. I also laid out a couple shallow metal jar lids with some bait in it, in areas I didn't want the gel touching. And guess what? The ants LOVE it! Within a couple hours (or in some cases, a couple days), there is a line of ants filling up on this stuff and taking it back to their nest. The line continues for a few days, and then starts to die back. That's when it gets even grosser, but also more gratifying. You will find piles and lines of dead ants in the areas they have been crawling. Whereas before you probably didn't notice all their little highways, now you can see exactly which routes they've been using. And you can vacuum them all up. Ew. I know. Gross... When a bait spot seems to die down, I add more fresh bait, and leave it there. Often more ants will venture in and pick some up, and sometimes another active line will form. It is very creepy and gross, and you need to be prepared to let the ants crawl over places you'd rather not have them. But on the upside, it does keep them going to one place. For example, I put a lid with several dollops of gel bait in the windowsill near my desk. It diverted ALL the ants off my desk and onto the window sill. No more freaking out mid-meeting because I see an ant crawling on my hand. I'm really happy with this stuff so far. It seems to be lessening my ant problem when every other home solution failed. If you have little black ants in your home that are too picky to eat anything you put out so far, give this stuff a try. Just dont spray anything that says "insecticide" on it, and the ants will keep coming and start to die off. It's a commitment and can be hard to stomach. But, at least in my case, it seems to be worth it so far. Possibly helpful details: I live in the Pacific Northwest (north of Seattle). These ants are small and all black, and seem to be attracted to water and warmth, as well as any food crumbs or grease. I can successfully wipe their scent trails away with soapy water, which in some cases helps keep them from traveling across areas I don't want them walking. This helps a lot while I await the home treatment. I hope this helps someone!

I purchased this bait with cheap plastic refillable bait stations and a granule. The direction I found was put the bait stations along the trail and once I see the trail disrupt, put the granules down. This gel completely stopped carpenter ants immediately! I’m talking like 3 days and zero ants in the house. I had a couple bait stations inside, and a couple outside. It’s like they didn’t even want to pass the stations outside. Went right to them and stopped coming inside. Zero ants inside by the end of day 3. That was a month ago and still nothing. Highly recommend!

I had a severe carpenter ant problem. I tried the Raid avermectin 0.01% traps and those didn't work. Tried Terro boric acid gel and that worked but only on a certain type of ants. Once those ants died out, these big carpenter ants started coming out and then the winged ones. It was disturbing. So I did research and found so many different types of insecticide: indoxacarb (this one), dinotefuran, thiamethoxam. I was just gonna try all of them one by one, so I started with this one (indoxacarb) and that happened to be the one that did the trick! It stopped them overnight! I saw a dead one a few days later in a place I didn't put this gel down, so I put it down in that area and problem solved on that side of my house overnight! The only downside is how much come in one pack. I only need 1 since I live in a very tiny studio apartment and it would've been nice to save a couple bucks to only buy what I need.

After 2 days and 1 syringe of gel bait, i placed the gel bait in the kitchen trail and outside the fruit trees, backyard concrete, and in the dirt holes where the ants live. 10/10 WOULD BUY THIS AGAIN. NO MORE ANTS IN MY HOUSE AFTER 1 DAY. Its way better than using the Terro ant bait stations. I have bought 3-4 boxes of terro ant bait stations but after this product, im not gonna go back. this product sticks on to any surface, wood, concrete, trees, walls, etc and it applies pretty smoothly no resistance, no sticky mess, unless if the ants dont eat all of it

It works, fast. Battled ants for years, I usually use Alpine WSG but someone how a small colony got passed my barrier and into the house. Looking for a new way to protect my home, I did some research and this was a really affordable suggestion. I've used Terro before, but it seems to attract and not kill. This attracts AND kills, I saw a 90% decrease in 24 hours and nothing after another 48. I only need about half a tube to deal with about the 50 or so ants I saw coming out of wall socket. It's been about a week now and not one single ant. I had little black ants. Recommend this with Alpine WSG if you can get it.

This product did kill the ants in our back yard workshop. The other products I had tried did not. Although it is pretty pricey, it got the job done quickly, and I’m satisfied with its performance. I would recommend this product.

I put the Ant Gel out as directed and the next day the only Carpenter Ants I saw were dead ones. I have not seen any in the past 5 or 6 days since I put it out only an occasional dead one. I don't even see them on my drive way anymore. Unless I am getting fooled by the ants this product works very very well and from what I have read there would be a lot of getting fooled ...lol... but it works. I have read some say they still have ants but the directions tell you plainly that pharaoh ants are not covered you need a different poison for these ants they have 3 queens and they adapt and can get worse.

It works great!
