Combat Max, Ant Killing Gel, 27 Grams (2 Pack)

Second purchase of this product. Most effective if you have some idea where the little intruders are coming from but also works where you see them. Just a couple of dabs in the area along their trail and they will come to feast and be gone. You will see a swarm the first day or so and this can freak you out as you didn't know there were that many but this contributes to the effectiveness because it is so attractive to the ants. In our case you see a lot of activity the first day, minimal activity the second day and no activity the third day. Works much more effectively in my opinion than the popular ant traps. My cat is not attracted to it and I usually put the products in corners or along baseboards. Very effective.

We live in an older neighborhood that has a mature ecosystem. That means we have an abundance of good and bad bugs including multiple types of ants. Fire ants, household ants, and big black ants. Our ants aren’t affected by the bait traps and super sticky tape. We don’t like to use foggers because we have cats and I’m worried about what chemicals are left behind. After many months of trying to kill the ants we were desperate to try something else. This product saved our sanity. We traced back to where the ants were coming in and applied this in and around the spot. The ants are very attracted to this product and it only took about 5 minutes before they stopped coming in. Since we have cats we have to place this product in areas where they can’t get to. Product is a gel that doesn’t drip and stays put. Just watch out for the stray gel that might fall on something so you don’t contaminate it with chemicals. We’ve applied this product to inside walls of stove, under counters, behind counters, around hinges of doors, and sides of cabinets. Now we only need to apply when we have a soaking rain when the ants are seeking shelter.

We have had problems with the ubiquitous Argentinian brown ant at our Southern California home. Nothing worked - sprays kill what you spray, and can slow down the ant's return to an area, but the ants come back worse than before. Pest control definitely made the ants worse! The bait needs to be applied consistently and patiently. You can use it indoors if you want, but I found it is most effective if you find the actual nest outside and place drops around the nest and in the ant line. Do not spray - just bait! You will see the ants start to gather around the bait in a little while. The next day there will be very few if any ants around that nest - if there are, re-apply! If you are patient and place the bait near every ants nest opening in the yard, you will be rid of them. Of course, the ants will move back in from the neighbors yards, so you need to keep the bait around. When you see an ant line, bait it! Don't wait - it just takes a couple minutes to but drops along the line, and if you find it also around the nest. It really works!!

I’m not even sure if this product works or not but it’s truly impossible to evenly apply a line to a crease. You keep pressing the syringe down and it’ll just randomly explode product out into a giant pile that needs wiped up anyway. Not sure if i received a faulty bottle but it sucks to apply. Probably won’t use it because it’s wasting half the product. Edit: Okay so I still hate the way that the product is dispensed. Lots of air and no way to get an even application. BUT the ants are gone!!! I was trying terro for months and it just wasn’t working (and always spilling). I applied this once and had a massive amount of ants show up but they haven’t come back!!

Ants will disappear since day 3. I did not use much I squeezed here and there about Qtip size gel and I did it again on the second day. I did not see any ant since the third day. It is a little bit expensive but I rather pay for this gel than suffering ants😰

Had the tiniest of sugar ants. This product had them totally gone in three days.

I am not sure what type of ants I have but since Terro didn’t get rid of them I thought maybe they were carpenter ants and this said it would work for those. The ants did flock to it but they haven’t slowed down and it’s been a week. The gel would not come out so I would press a tiny bit harder and then it came out too fast.

This is, literally, the ONLY thing that works on our ants, and boy does it work fast! I actually had a bug guy knock on my door and ask if we needed services for ants, and I told him I'd already taken care of it. He wanted to know what I used, and I told him: Combat gel in the syringe. He smiled bashfully, admitted that that's what his company uses, and wanted to know how I found out about "the stuff in the syringe." I don't think he realized you could get it on Amazon, because I haven't seen it in stores for a while now. Many thanks to the retired bug guy I used to work with for putting me onto this product. Don't buy anything else.

Easy to use and very effective. The ants disappeared within a couple of days, and the gel was clean and simple to apply. Very pleased with the results.

Works great

Not good
