Child-resistant ant baits
Replace ant baits after effective period has expired and dispose of old traps
Description
Raid® indoor and outdoor ant baits kill a variety of household ants including carpenter ants, Argentine ants, pharaoh ants, and others. Ants carry the indoor ant killer bait back to the nest killing the queen and the entire colony.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE: It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. For thorough ant control, use all baits at one time. To keep ants from returning, replace all baits every three months. 1. Separate baits before placement. 2. For thorough ant control, all four baits must be used at one time. For LARGER KITCHENS or PARTICULARLY HEAVY INFESTATIONS, we strongly recommend using additional baits. 3. For best results, place the baits next to the wall along baseboards, in corners, under sinks, in cabinets and near plumbing fixtures. You can even place baits in cabinets. Do not contaminate feed or food products or food preparation surfaces, dishes, kitchen utensils and food containers. 4. Baits work best on horizontal surfaces touching corners and walls. 5. Ants will begin eating the bait immediately and you should expect to see fewer ants within days. 6. Replace ALL baits every three months to keep ants from returning. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry area inaccessible to children. Do not store above 130°F. DISPOSAL: If empty: Do not reuse the bait station. Place in the trash or offer for recycling if available. If partially filled: Call your local solid waste agency or call 800-529-3394 for disposal instructions. Never place unused product down any indoor or outdoor drain.

Do not work
Do not work. I had an ant infestation, placed multiple traps in their path. They did not care. I left it for multiple days and the ants just ignore the trap completely.
1 reply from SC Johnson Consumer Care team - 4 days ago
We're sorry to hear about what happened! Before placing the baits, we recommend washing surfaces where ants have been present as it sounds like they may be following their chemical trails. This will allow them to create new trails, and you should see less ants within a few days. If we can help further, please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT) and mention reference number 23337053.

We're sorry to hear these baits didn't eliminate the colony of ants you're dealing with, Madasyn. We recommend washing surfaces where ants have been present to remove their chemical trails. Then, you should start to see less ants within a few days and complete elimination in up to 10 days. If we can help further, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT) and mention reference number 23335236. – Brooklyn, SC Johnson Consumer Care

Would not reccommend
It did not work AT ALL. They were not attracted to the bait and when I tried opening it up to put honey to attract them it did not work.
1 reply from Raid_Product Expert team - 9 days ago
We're sorry to hear this, Charles. Once the baits are placed, it can take up to 10 days for complete elimination as the ants work to carry the solution back to the colony. We do not recommend altering the product in any way. That said, we'd like to chat further about this to better assist you. Please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT) and share reference number 23332433. – Brooklyn, SC Johnson Consumer Care

Has not worked at all. We have more ants now than before we put these traps out. I should have gotten the liquid. It always works but can be messy.

We're sorry to hear you were left disappointed. We certainly wouldn't expect more ants to appear after placing more baits, so we appreciate your feedback. As these are slow working, it may take up to 10 days for complete elimination. Nevertheless, we're here and happy to help further.

We're sorry to hear this didn't resolve your ant issue. These baits work best when competitive food sources are eliminated and surfaces are washed with soapy water before placing. Additionally, it may take up to 10 days to kick an entire colony to the curb. Rest assured, we're here and happy to help further.

1 reply from Raid_Product Expert team - 2 months ago
We know no one wants to deal with pesky ants and we'd expect Raid® Ant Baits to be an effective remedy for your issue. We'd anticipate complete elimination to happen in up to 10 days, as each bait will progressively kill the ants. They function by the worker ants transporting the bait back to the colony, killing the queen, and preventing new ants from coming into your house. We'd be delighted to assist you further!

Doesn't work.
I bought this product 13 days ago. I got the 8 count value pack and immediately put 6 bait traps in my kitchen and 2 in my bathroom. They were basically the only areas in my house with ants. Well it's almost 2 weeks later and the ants are just as plentiful. It seems to be a waste of time and money. I will be submitting the form to get my money back.
