Product Overview
ADVANCE Granular Carpenter Ant Bait is a ready-to-use protein-based ant bait designed to help control carpenter ants and other labeled household ants indoors and outdoors. The bait combines an attractive food matrix with the delayed-action insecticide abamectin, allowing foraging ants to carry bait back toward the colony.
This granular bait is useful for pest management professionals, commercial facilities, warehouses, residential accounts, turf areas, lawns, and other labeled use sites where ants are actively foraging. ADVANCE Carpenter Ant Bait can be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management program and is especially useful in situations where baiting is preferred over spray applications.
Avoid applying sprays or residual insecticides directly on or near bait placements, as this may reduce bait acceptance.
Always read and follow the product label. The label is the law.

Benefits
Carpenter Ant Baiting
ADVANCE is specifically formulated for carpenter ants and other protein-feeding ants, making it a useful bait option when carpenter ant activity is present.
Delayed-Action Control
The abamectin active ingredient allows ants time to pick up bait and move it through the colony before the insecticide takes effect.
Indoor and Outdoor Flexibility
ADVANCE can be used in labeled indoor and outdoor areas, including cracks, crevices, wall voids, trails, perimeters, turf, lawns, and other labeled sites.
Useful in Sensitive Accounts
Baiting can be a good fit in accounts where broad spray applications may not be preferred, including commercial, residential, warehouse, and non-food/feed areas.
Professional Package Options
Available in individual containers or case quantities to support both small jobs and larger pest management programs.
