Description
Attract and kill the ants you see and the ones you don’t with TERRO Liquid Ant Baits. The liquid, which contains borax, is specifically designed to allow worker ants to consume the product, and survive long enough to carry the liquid back to the nest. Ants consume the liquid ant bait and return to the nest where they pass it around to the rest of the colony. The active ingredient in the bait slowly interferes with the ants’ digestive systems, ultimately killing them.
Since this is a bait product, you will initially see more ants as they are attracted to the liquid – but don’t worry, this is a good thing. After the bait is consumed, insect populations will begin to decline. Complete control may take up to two weeks.

Q: Can this be used outdoors?
submitted by Target Customer - 5 years ago
A: They are not designed for outside use. We recommend the Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stakes for outdoor use.
submitted byWoodstream Team - 5 years agoBrand expertA: Yes. It will need protection from any children(any age), pets, rain/sprinklers and wind. I have used it near ant hills but once the wind flips it or a shower comes, it is useless. I know what you're thinking: Did it work? Yes for the hill. I have no idea if it got the nest. After I lost a few(due to wind, rain and, once, a mower, I gave up trying. They seem to be effective inside as I put one under the microwave about twice a year and it clears the problem.

Q: After putting the bait down, the ants start to make little clusters, grouping themselves. The instructions say not to interrupt their activity. Exactly when do I interrupt their activity? Can I kill the ones that are not going back to the main colony?
submitted by AMs Mom - 6 days ago
A: Thank you for reaching out to us with your question about TERRO® Liquid Ant Baits. We understand how tempting it can be to interrupt the ants when they begin clustering around the bait. However, it’s very important not to disturb them during this time. The ants need time to consume the bait and carry it back to their colony, where it can effectively eliminate the entire population—including the queen. Please do not kill or remove any of the ants, even if some do not appear to be returning immediately to the colony. There is no reliable way to determine which ants are from which colony, and interfering can reduce the effectiveness of the bait.

Q: Will this product kill fire ants?
submitted by MHawkins - 6 days ago
A: Thank you very much for contacting us. Our liquid ant bait is not effective against fire ants or harvester ants, as these species primarily feed on seeds. However, we recommend using T600 Ant Dust or T1700 Outdoor Ant Killer Spray, both of which are contact killers and can help manage fire ant activity effectively.

submitted by Vikki - 7 months ago
A: Sorry to hear about the ants issue. There is no recommended number of baits to use. Place baits near trails and other locations where ants are numerous. The more bait placements, the better! Thank you for your question.

submitted by Jessica - 8 months ago
A: Hi Jessica! This product attracts and kills common household ants, including pavement ants, Argentine ants and white-footed ants -- 95% of ants are "sugar-feeding" ants. So, yes, this product will attract most sweet eating ants. Thank you for your question!

Well for starters mine came with only three baits - I think someone must’ve opened it in store and taken the other three. Difficult to separate, and after five days I saw very few dead ants inside and lots of sticky goo had leaked into my concrete. Ants still crawling around near the baits.
The only thing that helps

These work great for those times of year that the ants seem to try and invade. I was skeptical at first because it seemed like there was more than even the day we put them out but then slowly no more ants! These are our go to for pest control.

Reviwer - 12 days ago
The packets aren’t the easiest to open, when they opened they usually had sharp plastic edges that would seem like it would be hard for an ant to climb, and the ants literally avoided this stuff. I put three out right by where I see quite a few ants and literally only a single ant was found on one of them (not even in it). I watched the traps pretty often throughout the day. Don’t waste your money on these, I was recommended advion and I got these instead because they were cheaper and In a store near me (I didn’t want to wait a few days to get the other stuff as I want these ants gone asap) and had good reviews but I wish I just got the other stuff first and didn’t waste money on these pointless things.
Works great!

I purchased the Terro Liquid Ant Bait in hopes of neutralizing a sudden ant problem in my kitchen. Per directions, you leave the bait out and let the ants feast undisturbed in hopes that they'll bring the poison back to the nest and eradict the problem for you. Day one, the ants found the bait, told all their friends and the ant party was happening in my kitchen. It was annoying, as the ant numbers really increased. I trusted the process and let this continue for several days, even putting out additional traps. The ants continued their steady stream of invasion. 5 days in, the ants continued their march, no decline in their numbers or hunger for the bait. I'd had enough. I packed up the ant baits and went outside my home, and found where they were entering. I ended up using a DIY mixture to spray the ants outside (cover up their pheromone trail). I did this several times, spraying outside and cleaning the ant trail in my kitchen. This worked! These ant traps only worked in that they attracted the ants to feast, but the nest was never eradicated and it didn't solve my problem.
I swear by these!

Even though the liquid itself works, it's hard for ants to climb onto this bait unless the open end is against a wall. For example, this bait needs to be placed up under wherever ants are crawling to get them to the liquid.

These are interesting in that the ants either totally swarm to these or they run away. I don’t think it’s any fault to the product, maybe they just catch on? I don’t know if they are that smart. If you have small children or pets, keep in mind that these will leak the extremely sticky substance if mishandled. Clean up immediately. As far as I know they aren’t toxic.

Placed this bait all over my house, in an hour or so lots of ants swarm all over the house. What worked best was pouring the liquid bait out for faster effect. Some died inside the tube. Have to put this a couple of days. Eventually, it’s less and less and then gone!

I used it for my basement for little black ants coming to the house all floors. After placing for about two days ants started to disappear significantly and about four days almost all gone. Strongly recommend this product.

Ray - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
It definitely attracts the ants all right. But it doesn’t seem to be actually killing them or solving the problem. I have had all six of these traps placed around my apartment for over three full days and they don’t seem to be dealing with the infestation. It obviously seems to attract a lot of ants, which has made the infestation look visibly way worse but the number of ants I’ve seen around my apartment is only increasing. I understand this is supposed to take some time to work, but it needs to work way faster. I know that the ant problem has gotten worse over the last three days and I spend a good hour each day just killing and cleaning ants off my floor, furniture, walls. People shouldn’t have to wait 3+ days for this to work, especially when they have a bad infestation. All it’s done is draw a lot of ants out into the open so I can see how bad the problem is. I guess you can use this to draw them out and kill them with something else, but that defeats the whole point of the product. Would not buy again.
Keep these around

These work like a charm. They attract a bunch of ants at first but that’s how they work. No ants the next day. These are a lifesaver!
