BASF Advance 375a Select Granular Ant Bait — 8 oz, abamectin 0.011% slow‑acting colony control, mixed grit for indoor/outdoor use

Advance 375a Select Granular Ant Bait is a professional-strength granular bait that uses a delayed-action abamectin formulation to control entire ant colonies both indoors and outdoors.

This 8-ounce container from BASF contains a granular bait designed to be attractive to many common ant species and carried back to the nest for food sharing. The product uses a low-dose active ingredient, abamectin 0.011%, with a delayed effect so foraging workers can transport the particles to the colony before mortality occurs. Advance 375a is formulated with mixed grit sizes to suit different ant species and offers flexible application options for perimeter, mound, broadcast, and bait station use.

How does this granular bait reach an entire ant colony?

The bait leverages typical ant social behavior: workers collect and share food. Because the active ingredient acts slowly, individual foragers can carry treated granules back to the nest and feed nestmates, helping to reduce or eliminate the colony over time.

• Delayed-action abamectin (0.011%) allows transport before effects appear
• Mixed grit sizes make the bait accessible to many worker sizes and species
• Formulated to encourage food-sharing and brood feeding within nests

Where and how can I apply Advance 375a Select safely?

This product can be used in multiple settings around structures, including indoors and outdoors, but always follow the label for exact placement and restrictions. Applications include perimeter lines, mound treatments, broadcast spots, and placement inside approved bait stations for added protection and reduced non-target exposure.

• Use around foundations, lawns, patios, and food storage areas as directed
• Compatible with approved ant bait stations and termite bait station per label allowances
• Observe label cautions: hazardous to humans, pets, and aquatic life; follow state regulations

Which ant species does this bait target and how fast will I see results?

Advance 375a is effective against many common household and structural ants because of its particle size variety and palatability. Timing for visible reduction varies by species, colony size, and foraging conditions; noticeable declines in activity often appear within days to a few weeks as the bait cycles through the nest.

• Listed species include pavement, odorous house, carpenter, pharaoh, fire, Argentine, and more
• Smaller or very large colonies may require repeat applications per label guidance
• Environmental factors such as competing food sources can affect speed of control

What precautions should I take when using this ant bait?

Advance 375a contains an active pesticide and must be handled per label instructions to protect people, pets, and wildlife. Keep product away from water bodies, adhere to state restrictions, and avoid broadcast use where children or pets may access loose granules.

• Read and follow the label for personal protective equipment and application limits
• Store sealed, out of reach of children and animals; avoid contamination of water
• Use bait stations when treating areas frequented by pets or non-target wildlife
