Advion Ant Bait Arena 12ct

This product is a miracle product. I tried several other things, with no results. These made a huge dent in the infestation of ants, the ants love it, and I noticed a huge decrease in the number if active colonies after a week or so. But, the scent also attracts dogs, all of my dogs, even the very picky eater tried eating these. I had to cover them with spiky mesh pinned into the ground to prevent my dogs from getting them. The squirrels also tried eating them. The peanut butter scent is likely the reason. I purchased the clear gel type, and the animals don't care about them, but the ants are a little less attracted to that type, also.

These are IMPRESSIVE. Anyone in a warm climate knows the hell we go through every year in the summer. Ants find shelter inside homes, climb into bed with you, and bite you as you try to sleep. I’ve tried so many other brands and none of them work as well as this. Other brands leak out of their packaging and damage flooring, and ants often get used to those super fast. However, these are well packaged and prevents itself from leaking. Ants swarm quickly and the bait is super effective. While most ants bring back the bait to the hive, I can see the effectiveness as some ants don’t make it more than a feet from the bait itself, unlike other brands. Take one out of the zipped packaging, place, and leave. No need to struggle with ripping open plastic packaging and worry about spilling. Brilliant!

It’s effective against protein hungry ants. Follow the directions - put the arenas near active ant areas or trails, replace when empty and keep away from pets & people. I saw a dramatic decrease within 48 hrs. They were completely gone after 3-4 weeks so be patient. I’m leaving a few out just incase. I will definitely purchase again.

Found someone on reddit recommending these and they were a miracle. We have very sandy soil and have a slab foundation and its been an impossible battle fighting the very small ants every year. We would use the regular bait poisons inside in the entry spots and spray the perimeter outside almost weekly and the ants would never let up. I bought these, put just one of them out in our worst spot and we haven't seen another ant since and its been months. These finally solved our problem for good I think!

Advion Arena is a protein-based bait product, which means it works best when combined with a glucose-based bait. In our experience, 90% of ants ended up going for the glucose bait (we used Terro), and only a handful went for the Arena bait. But the arena comes in a self-enclosed station which is convenient for placing quickly around the house. And the solid base means it can be placed at an angle or even upside-down. Overall, useful to have around since a colony's food preference may change over time. And the resealable bag is great for keeping it fresh in storage.

We had ants that I tried getting rid of with the T rhymes with arrow product for weeks with no success. I put this stuff next to that product and within a day we had a trail of dead ants going back to their source. Sucked the dead up with a vacuum and haven’t seen any since.

Maybe I got a bad batch and the bait is expired or has dried out, but this product is completely ineffective. The ants ignore the bait stations and adjusted their foraging trail to walk around them. After 48 hours, there is absolutely no decrease in ant actvity. Also note that the adhesive pads supplies for vertical surfaces will stick to the traps, but not other surfaces - e.g., concrete. Double-sided tape can be used to mount the trap successfully, but again, the the small black ants in our area avoid the traps entirely.

We have finally found an ant bait that works.
