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

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 have tried a lot of different products to get rid of ants over the years and none worked for more than a few days st most. I therefore didn't have much hope this this stull. Turns out it really works. I have applied it as directed in five different places where ants were coming in, they love the stuff and after two to three days the ants are gone and have not come back after a month. great stuff and I am going to keep lots on hand. i

Works immediately! I used this on the little baby ants coming in & it instantly stopped them. I used one tube on the entire house and they haven’t come back. I’m glad that I didn’t have to use any sprays or plastic ant traps. So easy to use, thank you! (Sorry, ants!)

It got here really fast, even before I expected it. We've had a bad infestation of ghost ants, they took over our whole kitchen, so I needed something fast. I applied it around the room and by that evening I would say 90% of the ants were gone! We're still getting a few stragglers but I've reapplied where they're still coming out. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because some of it leaked out, so the packaging was an oily mess and I had a hard time reading the directions. The first, and only, tube I've used had a big air bubble in it. I used some then there was a bunch of air. So, I would say at least half of the tube was just air. I am happy with the product, I even put some out on our walkway where I saw more ants and those are almost gone, too. I just wish whoever packages the items would've noticed the obvious leak.

Great product. Just a little bit solved my ant problem at my kitchen! I dont know how much I can thankful!

Thisstuff is amazing. The ants have een terrible this year and my wife gets iritated at seeingthem. it's my second year using Atticus Savitri and this time I'm getting it set in high trafic areas earlier and am seeing quick results. put it down and the ants imediately shwed up. that continued fo a couple of days and now the have completely dwindled to just a couple hear and their.

Worked fast. Even when I applied it in a main trail outside the ants started eating it instantly.

This product is amazing. It got rid of the ants so fast! Just put a little down in the areas I saw the ants, then they swarm, but within hours they were gone. Any time I see ants I use this and they disappear. Cleanup is easy - once the ants are gone, just wipe it away. Really can't stress how effective this is. The package is so big, I'll likely have enough for years!
