Advion Insect Granular Bait, 1-lb. Shaker Bottle, Effective Insect Granular Bait, Formulated with 0.22% Indoxacarb, Outdoor Use, for Control of Prevailing Perimeter Pests

This stuff is amazing! I first learned of it from a YouTube video where a professional lawn maintenance man used and recommended it for killing out ant beds. I have been through two complete bags of ant killer bought from big box stores which was "guaranteed" to destroy red ants. When sprinkled around the mound, it tamped down ant activity for a couple of days and they come right back. I expected Advion to require several applications before assessing its effectiveness. To my surprise, it worked after the first application. I used only a teaspoon around the hole on two different ant beds in my yard. The ants seemed to really like it as I watched individuals pick the grains and carry them into the hole. I went back the next day to reapply and saw absolutely NO ant activity! Watching for two more weeks since then, I still see no activity at all. I now seem to have a lifetime supply on hand and no ants to use it on. Great product.

First, I hate fire ants. Second, I'm in central Texas, so they're everywhere! In the past, we used the powder to sprinkle on the ant hills, until they started popping up inside the house this summer. We placed the little ant bait things everywhere, but couldn't keep up. So, I bought this after seeing a recommendation by NYT Wirecutter.I didn't think this small amount would last long, but they're small pellets, like cut up spaghetti, and they work wonderfully. Just sprinkle on ant hills, or wherever you see a colony, and watch them carry the pellets away. Later that day, no ants were in the room where we sprinkled these.With that being said, if you're using this indoors, make sue no animals or people get to them. We put a small amount where the ants were coming in and closed off the room. Later, when the ants were gone, we wiped the area down with spray cleaner to get rid of any residue and eliminate the ant scent trails. Then we sealed up the corner to hopefully prevent anything in the future.Also, when using it outside, be sure to consider other wildlife. I've made sure to not use this anywhere near our bird feeders, and to only use a small amount that the ants carry away within minutes. That way a bird won't mistake it for seed and get sick or die. I also don't feel the need to keep my entire yard bug free. Just enough to keep the fire ants from setting up shop in my house or around my patio. Just, please use responsibily!!

Amazing product if u buy the gel along with it

No more bugs I'm truly amazed tried everything even in the winter when it's cold outside no more bugs!

I purchased this product recently after a recommendation from an employee at Lowe's and I am pretty satisfied with the results. My Aunt's home has a pretty bad roach infestation and I have been steadily trying to assist her with remedying that whole situation. This seems to have put a major dent in their colony although, they are not completely gone. Initially, I thought it was working pretty well. When I went back to check her home the next day after I applied the initial applicatoin, I noticed a bunch of them dead on the floor. I went back every day and kept finding more here and there. I also was using the gel bait at the same time to make sure I killed these nasty little things. Well, it's been a month and she still has roaches.This does work but it's not strong enough for a really bad infestation in my own opinion. Last year we bought this for our home and we only had a few roaches and it knocked them right out and within a month we were roach-free. That's why I chose to use the same product, because it had worked for me. I can say with confidence it works on a smaller infestations. This infestation at my Aunts home has been unfazed by this at this point they just don't even eat it when I sprinkle it down.I spoke with a professional gun man and he told me that If you have never used it before it works well the first few times. It should be noted however, German Cockroaches are sneaky little thingsand adapt very quickly. They become immune to whatever bug spray or roach killer you put down. That's why its not phasing them now. These subsequent generations have likely become immune to the product that is inside of this.I still recommend this product but make sure you are using it when you see the first signs of roaches. If you don't get them from the start you could end up chasing them around with a vacuum cleaner and can of some kind of instant kill bug spray. That's where I am at now.

After reading the reviews, I was like there is no way this product could work this well when every other method has failed. These roaches were indestructible and pest control in my complex did little to nothing about them, dismissing me when I told them how bad it was. I had a hard time imaging these roaches “walking around drunk” - until I saw it myself. The pellets made it so easy to sprinkle a bit everywhere. Within days the roaches were walking in circles, moving super slow, and seemed oblivious to anything going around them. My room has been largely roach free since getting this, though I do still find the occasional little one once every week or two. Still better than 5-10 a day and living in a situation where I could not relax at all. Don’t be skeptical about all the great reviews, they’re actually true with this one!!

No instructions on how to use product on red ant beds, and doesn't kill them either. Did not work for me at all. I have tried so many different kinds of poisons but the just come back.

I put this around the outside of my house. I have a lake in my back yard and a lot of trees and those big outside flying roaches had come in from the moisture. I sprinkled this all around my house outside and the Advion gel bait for inside. There were dead ones on the carport in less that a half day!!!
