Here in the high desert of California we are often under siege by armies of Odorous Ants. For four years I have battles these tenacious invaders. Combat has been an amazing weapon against these home invaders. I just follow the directions and in a day or two there's not an ant to be seen. What it is, is a fungicide. The ants take the bait home and it kills the fungus they grow in their homes for food. Yes! Ant's don't eat our food! They eat the fungus they grow on our food! Isn't that amazing? They are all just little farmers. And when they bring home the Combat Bait to their little underground farms....their food rations are destroyed, and they starve to death. Works like a charm now for three years. No odor. No mess. Safe for pets IF USED PROPERLY, meaning you place the bait in a container the ants can get to, but your pets can't. Like an empty matchbox or something. You can buy the bait traps if you like, and just refill them once in a while with this stuff. Don't use too much, because it dries out in a few days and then the ants will have no interest in it ever again. You need to add more every few days if you have a huge ant problem. Works for me and my friends. I use a similar product for roaches and it works equally well.Read full review

Not as good as I had hoped. Seems like the ant population increased. Used it in spotty areas around the inside and outside of the house. Seemed to work in some areas for a day then the resurgence happened. Maybe the stuff does work but these ants around my house has the will to survive. I live in central texas where the ground is clay like so if you're not constantly watering your lawn you'll have deep cracks throughout your lawn.

I have tried everything out there, they just didn't work. Combat is the best. For many years I could not find Ant gel, other bugs yes... Ant, no. I am so happy to have found again. The ants were everywhere. They were gone in 3 days. 1 or 2 stragglers, then stragglers gone 2 days later. I like the syringe the best because the gel can be put in cracks. no kids & no animals can get at it.

This ant gel works like a charm, it's a take back to the nest and destroys it. But go back early next season to get the new hatched ants. Works excellent on carpenter ants.

Been using Combat several times in the past. The last batch was very effective. The ants liked the bait and most of them died. Had to repeat the process after several days to get rid of all the ants. I recommend this product. Purchased the same product from from a different seller several months ago.. Most of the Ants ignored the bait, seemed like it hardly reduced their numbers. I suspect that the previous batch was defective or fake.
