Q: can the bait spill on to the floor
submitted by Anna - 1 year ago
A: Great question, Anna. The liquid is dosed in a nonwoven pad contained within the bait station. It acts like a sponge to keep the liquid from spilling out, but allows the ant to access it. Have a good day! – Brooklyn, SC Johnson Consumer Care

Do not work
Do not work. I had bought basic Raid ones that did not work. So I tried these instead. Biggest waste of money, the ants just continue crawling past it to wherever they are heading, ignoring the trap completely.
1 reply from SC Johnson Consumer Care team - 4 days ago
We're sorry to hear the ants were ignoring the baits. It can help to wash surfaces where ants have been seen to remove their chemical trails. Once the baits are placed, the ants will create new trails for other ants to locate the baits and bring the solution back to the colony. We'd like to chat about this further to better assist you. When you can, give us a ring at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT) and mention reference number 23337056.

Ants walk around it
The Raid max liquid ant traps are easy to use. Just peel off the cover and place it wherever you need it. There’s no scent and the liquid (more of a solid) does not spill out. But so far they have not attracted any m ants nor has there been a reduction. The ants actually walk around the bait trays. I hate ants and have yet to find a product that actually works besides raid spray.

Ants are not eating the bait
I put out over 16 traps throughout the kitchen. Hundreds of ants are climbing over the traps but when they get to the door of the trap, they turn around and go the other way.

great product
These worked great! we had a non stop train of ants that were coming in near Air conditioner. I bought these, put them in their path, witnessed them come and eat from the traps. It took about 3 days but they stopped coming. It's annoying to have to wait 3 days for it to stop the issue but it is what it is (they have to bring it back to the colony and it kills off the colony which takes time) and they really did the trick!

It’s that time of year again! Last summer I had an ant problem and bought the Terro traps after reading reviews online, but they were not effective, AT ALL. This year when they showed up I decided to give these a try and it cleared our ant problem in less than a day. Extremely effective and affordable price. Hopefully the ants won’t return, but if they do I will be prepared!

within 5 minutes the bait wAs swarmed with ants and i was watching them carry the bait back. I’m wondering if ant type matters, these ants didn’t seem to pay attention to the other all white type baits which led me to try this kind and I was shocked how quickly it attracted them all.
