TerroT1812 Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits - 6 Pack

Terro:liquid bait: one of the few ant control products that works.This stuff is like killer crack to ants and get's these Argentine ants good.They will stop dead in their tracks and just start drinking the stuff if you pour a drop in front of them.The dispenser sucks, it relies on the ants sniffing out the bait then climbing up and into the green stake, then up into the wrapper with the gel bait where many of them just fall in and drown instead of going back to the colony. Opening and prepping the bait sucks too. (bend/fold the tab before trying to rip it off, otherwise, you can rip it off without making a hole in the gel pack)One or two deployed correctly will wipe out the small Argentine ant colony in a day or two, but it is like whack a mole with these types of ants. they have many colonies each with own queen or whatever, so you have to keep on whacking each colony. Not only that, I think the ants are learning to avoid this bait/scent and slowly becoming resistant. Word up Terro. Hope your scientists are reading this, doing the research, and working on a new formula.Not sure why none of these pest control / chemical companies can't make an effective, less environmentally toxic, pest control agent that uses ingredients with names containing less than 4 syllables in them.They should just sell that natural boric acid sugar mixture that everyone swears by, for a cheap decent price. It would be less environmentally toxic. Instead, all of the companies just make these weird toxic as hell chemical mixtures that works once during that season for like 5hrs, before the pests start becoming immune or learn to avoid the stuff.

I have placed these about every 10 feet around the foundation of the house. Perhaps it's seasonal, but no more tiny ants in the kitchen or wandering in the upstairs bathroom. The real test will be in the spring, when I usually get the first flush.

We into a house two and a half years ago fire ants infested I had a spray guy for 2 years for fired him found this stuff start putting it in the house millions and millions of ants along my baseboards my kitchen my bedroom and we just found a huge Nest outside the whole Foundation we've been using these putting them out we're on our second box I think we probably have really put a big dent in the population they are not coming into my house now cross my fingers every time they rehatch we just keep that stuff out but this has been the best stuff and this is the only thing that has worked we killed all the black ants and I would say we've probably killed 75% of the black ants I was getting bit every single night while sleeping

These really do work! We had a big ant infestation in the garden, with 4 separate nests. I was worried about using these with the dogs in the yard, so the night before we left on a weeks vacation, we set up about 10 of these traps, putting them right beside the nests. As soon as we got home we picked up all the traps (ALL the bait was gone) so the dogs could not get to them, and we noticed that all of the nests were no longer active. It WORKED.We now put them outside our fence line so the dogs cant get to them, and it seemed to keep the ants out of the yard all summer. My only issue is they can get messy. You have to be sure to hold them straight up after you clip off the tab and open the trap, otherwise the liquid bait inside will spill out. That is why I only gave 4 stars.

We asked an insect guy to come give us a quote to spray around the foundation of our house for ants. This year they have been really bad. Only outside, not inside the house. When he gave us a price of $249 I nearly flipped out. But he was very gracious and explained that we could purchase this product and place them in strategic places around the house and it would take care of our ant problem. He was right! In one place behind our air-conditioning unit outdoors it was like we had An entire army of ants moving back-and-forth behind it. After a few days they were all gone. This occurred in all the places where we had ants regularly. We still have them, but not nearly as many and as long as I continue to put out the bait boxes, they leave. Or I guess die!

Great destructure of the colonies. Works great.

Placed ant baits where I had ants, next day gone.

I had been using the previous version of this product for several years with great success! As others have said, the new version is terrible. Dries up in the sun, doesn't last and it is not as effective. New packaging is a rip-off. Product does not match the picture. Totally ruined a great product. Bring back the previous version. I will not be buying again.
