The product contains abamectin 0.011% in a granular formulation with mixed grit sizes that many ant species will carry back to the nest. It’s formulated for flexible placement—bait stations, perimeters, broadcast, and mound treatments—making it suitable for homes, hotels, food storage areas, lawns, and other sites where ant activity is a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this granular bait reduce an entire ant colony?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdvance 375A takes advantage of how ants feed and communicate: workers collect food, return to the colony, and share it, spreading the active ingredient among nestmates. The abamectin is slow-acting so individual foragers have time to reach the nest before lethal effects occur, increasing colony exposure. Mixed particle sizes improve pickup across species and worker castes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDelayed-action abamectin (0.011%) to allow for bait transfer to nestmates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGranular matrix with varied grit sizes so many ant species can carry particles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to be placed in bait stations, along perimeters, or broadcast as needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTargets foragers to disrupt colony food distribution and reduce population.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich ant species does Advance 375A control and where can I use it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe product lists a broad range of common household and structural ants, including fire ants and small household species.
