Product Overview
The Raid Max Double Control Ant Baits are designed to attract and eliminate ant colonies. This product utilizes two types of bait to effectively target and kill ants. Once ants consume the bait, they transport it back to their colony, distributing it among other ants, which leads to the elimination of the entire colony. Users can expect to see a reduction in the ant population within days, with the baits remaining effective for up to three months.

Setup & Directions
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
- Separate Baits: Separate individual bait stations before placement. For thorough ant control, use all baits at one time. For larger areas or particularly heavy infestations, using additional baits is recommended.
- Placement: For best results, place baits where you have seen ants, including in corners, under sinks, in cabinets, and near plumbing fixtures. You can also place baits in cabinets, on food storage shelving, and near waste receptacles.
- Securing Baits (Optional): To secure baits in place on walls or under countertops, use removable adhesive. Peel off the liner from one side and place the adhesive on the bottom of the station, applying light pressure for a few seconds. Then, peel off the liner on the other side of the adhesive and secure the bait where desired. Ensure the surface is clean, smooth, and dry. Apply light pressure for a few seconds. Do not use on wallpaper, unpainted drywall, antiques, or unfinished wood. For other surfaces, test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Observation: Ants will begin eating the bait immediately. You should expect to see fewer ants within days.

Operating Principle
Raid Max Double Control Ant Baits work by attracting ants with two types of food. Once attracted, ants enter the bait station, consume the bait, and then return to their colony. They transfer the bait to other ants, including the queen, effectively eliminating the entire colony. This method ensures comprehensive pest control beyond just the visible ants.
Maintenance
To prevent ants from returning, replace all baits every three months. Store unused baits in a cool, dry area inaccessible to children. Do not store above 130°F.
Troubleshooting
If you continue to experience ant problems after following the directions, ensure baits are placed directly in ant trails or areas of frequent ant activity. For maximum effectiveness, ensure all baits are placed simultaneously. If the infestation persists, consider contacting customer support for further assistance.
