Indoor and Outdoor Ant Killing Gel, 27 Gram

The ants ATE THIS UP. It took care of the problem, but it is a clear colored gel so depending on where you are placing it, may not be ideal if it’s in a high tragic area and you have kids/pets. I didn’t notice a smell and it wasn’t super sticky. It did run down the wall a little when I placed it too close to the edge of a ledge. In any case, the syringe is easy to use and most importantly it was effective.

I’d tried a bunch of other ant killers with little success, but this Combat Ant Killing Gel actually did the job. I followed the instructions, put small dots along cracks and crevices where I saw trails, and within a day I noticed fewer ants. By day 3–4, they were basically gone, and the problem hasn’t returned. Pros: Works quickly when used as directed—visible results in a day or two Eliminates the colony, not just the ants you see Easy, precise application with the syringe—great for cracks and tight spots High-water gel attracts strong feeding, so ants take it back to the nest Minimal mess compared to granules or sprays Cons: You need to resist wiping it up immediately—let the ants feed and carry it off Not a set-and-forget for large areas; you may need multiple placements Keep out of reach of kids and pets (it’s a pesticide) Bottom line: If you apply it where ants travel and give it a couple of days to work, this gel is extremely effective. It’s the first product that truly cleared my infestation.

I usually do not leave reviews, but this product so far is very impressive. We had household black ants no matter what we did and they were even biting me periodically throughout the day. The ants were making our lives miserable. We went through several trash bags a day because we had to throw the trash out immediately after throwing something in it and one little crumb on the ground for my four-year-old would result in a massive trail frenzy. No matter what we did they were relentless!!! I would spray them with household cleaners, but that didn’t seem to do anything as they would be back within minutes. Are used bleach which in the past would work because it seems that they wouldn’t want to come back to the same spot, but these ants eventually powered right through the bleach and marched on. They were in my kitchen, bathroom and living room not to mention several massive trails outside leading to underneath the property. The ants were coming out of our electrical socket plates were they weren’t sealed properly and any hole and crack in the house possible. After caulking for two months we decided to try this method using the gel. I put a drop near their trail and they swarm to it like wolves and minutes later masses are eating it. So far they have cleaned up every drop I have put out, but sometimes the second application they leave a little behind which needs to be cleaned up. Outside in the back they were swarming the trashcan there must’ve been hundreds of thousands and I put several large drops in the trashcan then they disappeared within one day they were gone. They aren’t completely eradicated, but greatly reduced and it appears you need to do an application wherever you see a trail over the course of a week to get rid of them. After five days the only ants that I really see or stragglers that we’re probably inside before I sealed up their entrances after applying the bait and letting them swarm it for a couple hours until that’s all gobbled up. After five days the only aunts that I really see are stragglers that were probably inside before I sealed up their entrances after applying the bait and letting them swarm it for a couple hours until that’s all gobbled up. I feel like we are almost back to normal and I give this product a five star because it appears to have nearly eradicated our house ants. I read several reviews and I know this did not work for ghost ants and others said that the ants were not attracted to it and they just walked right by it. The ants outside at first did not go to the beach either so I mixed a little bit of honey with the poison gel and put it right in their path and they went after it like savage beasts. I will edit this review if they come back in full force, but for now they appear to be 98% eradicated from inside my house at the moment. Update: The ants still manage to come in even after using the product, but I placed a few drops and they swarm it like savage animals and they disappear from that location for a while. I still haven’t had any in the kitchen were it was the biggest problem and they are no longer in the living room, but they are continuing to show up in my two bathrooms. I have applied a couple more applications and will update this review once I have some sort of results. The point of this product is to get the poison to the nest to where it supposed to kill the queen. So far I’m going to assume the queen is not dead because they keep coming from somewhere.

Great for killing ants, easy to clean up but since it's prone to drying, easily loses effectiveness. It sticks an adheres to surfaces pretty well if you need to get ants in odd locations. Never had any ants wise up to this one though, since they tend to learn to avoid baits eventually.

I bought the Combat Ant Killing Gel to deal with a persistent trail of ants on my patio, and it worked better than expected. Within a day of placing it down, the ant traffic had noticeably slowed, and within a couple of days, they were completely gone. The gel is super easy to apply and doesn’t make a mess. I placed small dabs along the patio where the ants were most active, and they went straight for it. It’s clear the product works at the source, because we haven’t seen them return. What stood out most is how well it held up outdoors—it didn’t dry out too fast or wash away, even with some light moisture. There’s no strong smell, no cleanup, and no hassle. If you’re dealing with ants in outdoor areas like patios, decks, or walkways, I highly recommend this gel. It’s effective, easy to use, and I’ll definitely be keeping some on hand for future use.

To begin with this review, let me say that i have ordered the "Combat Ant Killing Gel" in the past as pictured and i must tell you it was a very effective product. It was so good that you only needed a small dab and ants were gone for months. Why do i say "was"? There seem to be some confusion with this product today. After doing some extensive research i finally solved the mystery as to why we have a huge majority of good reviews and bad reviews. Here is what i have discovered, like i mentioned before i have used this product before and had a overwhelming success. In the past week i had placed a new order for the " Combat Ant Killing Gel" the package came in a timely manner. At first i did not see a problem until i started to use this product. I noticed from the start that this product wasn't as effective as the one i tried before. I was baffled i couldn't understand as to why the ants didn't even touch the stuff, at times they will consume the products , other times they will simply ignore the product and walk pass me laughing. So i double checked my order and discovered something i didn't noticed before i started to use the product.in fact when i saw the words "Combat" i didn't dwell on me it was a different product packaging until i noticed that instead of saying "Combat Ant Killing Gel". What it said was "Combat Source Kill Max A2". at first i contacted the seller to see if they had sent me the wrong product. while i was waiting for a response i noticed that the ants were still ignoring the product better yet after examining the area with a magnifying glass i can actually see the ants sitting back in their lounge chairs drinking margaritas. let me get Serious Now & get back to my review. i went one step further and contact the manufacturer of the "Combat source kill max A2" product. I wanted to know if the "Combat Ant Killing Gel" and the "Combat Source Kill Max A2" were 2 different products? Here is what i have discovered, The manufacturer of the "Combat Ant Killing Gel in which is called "Henkel" explain to me that they no longer make the "Combat Ant Killing Gel" and that in fact the product was replaced with a product Now called "Combat Source Kill Max A2". Here in Amazon it is still being advertised as "Combat Ant Killing Gel" all thou some vendors still have a supply in hand other simply are shipping out the new "Combat Source Kill Max A2". inwhich i find the this new product to be useless not as effective as the Old "Combat Ant Killing Gel". If your ordering this product keep in mind that the product with the Barcode "023400 973064" is infact for the product called "Combat Source Kill Max A2" After expressing the non effective use of this product to the manufacturer they informed me that they offer a better and more potent product.They offered me to send me a coupon for me to try out this new product. For those who got the new product instead of the one being advertized as "Combat Ant Killing Gel" you can simply ask for a refund even thou you tried the product. As to the confusion as some people getting the "Combat Ant Killing Gel" and some getting the "Combat Source Kill Max A2" instead. it's the responsibility of the seller to check and make sure that the product they are shipping is the same product being advertized. Having said that i am giving this product "Combat Source kill Max A2" a one star. They do not manufacture the original "Combat Ant Killing Gel" as the picture suggest anymore it has been replaced with " Combat Source Kill Max A2" a weaker yet less effective version. I hope this review has cleared up some confusion. *** I have informed Vendor inwhich they notified Amazon of the confusion and the Picture has been revised to "Combat Source kill Max A2" ***I hope this has clear up some confusion Update: Sept. 2016 Since my review Amazon has corrected the information and posted the correct image of the newer product, But keep in mind that the product rating system is still off due to the fact that the reviews from original product (back in 2006) is mixed in with the reviews of this new product.

WOWZA! This product surpasses all the other products we've tried using to eliminate our ongoing problem with indoor ants! I will NEVER use another product again! A note to those who take up my enthusiastic recommendation on this product - after using it as directed, give it a day or two to work. You'll notice the little fellas coming out just long enough to ask themselves what the heck is going on, and by the next day or so they'll move on. You won't actually see any dead ants from using Combat Max, but you will notice that they've disappeared. It's truly wonderful!

This Combat Ant Poison Gel does a better job attracting the ants and minimizing their activity than other brands and methods I have tried, but it never truly completely eliminates the ants. I have had success with this gel attracting many of the ants out of the walls and outlets where they always seem to make their way in, especially every spring, but I wish it kept them gone longer. I live in condos that have exterminators spray along the walls outside every few weeks or so, and I try to use products like this to keep them under control inside. After using this gel the activity does calm down for a while, maybe even a few weeks, but then it slowly starts back up, so obviously the queens are not getting the poison. I wonder if this is killing the ants too quickly before they can bring enough back to the nest. Living in WA state I am limited on what options I have to buy. A lot of people claim Advion works well, but it won't ship here through Amazon, and isn't available at any stores locally. I believe this is because Advion isn't registered with the Washington State Department of Agriculture. So until I can get my hands on something better, this Combat gel seems to work better than the other stuff I have tried, such as Terro, Raid, Ortho, etc.
