This 8 oz container of BASF Advance contains a low-concentration active ingredient (abamectin 0.011%) formulated in coarse granules designed for uptake by many ant species. Apply according to the label: the delayed activity gives workers time to share the bait inside the colony, while placement flexibility allows use in and around structures where carpenter ants forage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this bait work to reach the whole ant colony?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bait uses ants’ natural foraging and food-sharing behaviors.
