There seems to be disagreement about how sticky this tape is. Can an ant walk across it without sticking? Can a roach? Or insects of your choice. Thank you.

An ant might stick to it but not a roach. It is not nearly as sticky as the fly trap paper you can find in hardware stores. I use it to hold two pieces of paper together temporarily. For that it is wonderful.

I think that simply using it as directed will get better results. Near the ant trail squeeze out a glob about the size of a green pea. The ants love the stuff and go out of their way to bring it back to the colony. I wouldn't dilute it.

I have used it successfully with those really small "sugar" and "ghost" ants that come in the house. It also worked on the larger ants going up the wall of my home toward the roof. I really bought too much--I still have quite a bit left and have only had to retreat 2-3 times since I bought it at least several years ago.

I have see this also, while the trap will snap with the lightest touch, something VERY light must be getting the bait. Only answer I come up with is bugs. Small roaches is the best answer I come up with. Ants wouldn't care if it was light or dark and this only happens in the dark. While this anomaly is puzzling, these are still very good traps.

The tape is very strong...I have never tried that before, I would say give it a shot! It might work!

None of our ants have died yet (since xmas) but is my understanding that the dead ants will be moved to the top by other ants, then I will have to remove them, I am not sure if that is the case yet but will let you know...

If applied in active trails, possibly. Though Maxforce also offers a Carpenter Ant Gel Bait. Carpenter Ant treatments depend on region location and level of infestation. For heavy infestation inside of structures this would not be the best choice.

Some question. Where are you putting it? They went crazy for it when i put it out! You have to put it where the ants are coming out of and i doubt it will work if you are putting it outside. Your question comes with many other questions. For me, it was super effective because i followed the directions

This stuff will affect anything that touches it and isn't strong enough to pull free. Yes, if a honey bee lands or walks onto an area where you spread it, they will get stuck and die. However they won't be attracted to it in search of nectar or water. Just don't spread it near the water. I spread tanglefoot around the bases of my bird feeders and birdhouses and every insect that tried to cross it got stuck.

Very good questions. The sticky stuff's efficacy seems to wear off pretty quickly. Either that or the pigeons I "invite" on my balcony have learned how to avoid! The spikes have also not deterred them. And all these years I thought city pigeons were stupid? Not so! Good luck getting rid of your pigeons. I've just about given up! Oh, and I do not have leaves blowing around on my balcony so cannot address that issue, sorry.

Not sure cause i sent it back , while i was spraying i saw a big ant, and for 20 minutes i would spray him , he would swim around then start to run away , till finally he just swam then ran away, so it did not work for me.....

probably not, and there is no need. I've placed several pea-sized drops on a tree trunk that had an ant nest (ants were going up and down the tree constantly). The ants will find the gel. In my experience, after a couple days, the ants were gone

That's a tough question! I've caught pretty large spiders but don't really have roaches here. The thing has been pretty damn great though. It would still be worth it for the other bugs if it didn't work for the roaches lol

We were told ants like to search for their food. In other words, if you put it directly in their path, they will avoid it. We put ours on the opposite corner of the house that our infestation was. It seemed to work. I guess we will have to wait for spring to see for sure.

I purchased this and I actually live in Florida, and have had no ant issues! But it's definitely not air tight, so those little ants could definitely crawl their way in

Ants regularly change their diet. Sometimes they go for sweets, sometimes they go for proteins. This product is protein. You need to use this along with a sweet product so you have all your bases covered. I used this product along with "Optiguard and gel bait". My problem was gone in 2 days.

It's been a little while since I used these (they were great!) but I think I twisted/lifted the white liquid bait container just slightly after puncturing it, so the the ants had space to climb through (not sure the instructions said to do that though). That worked for me.
