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.
For your convenience, TERRO Liquid Ant Baits are easy to use and feature a new and improved snap-off tab design – no scissors needed! To open the bait, hold the station vertically and twist the new and improved tab. Then place indoors on a flat surface near ant trails and other signs of ant activity. The more bait placements, the better. Be sure to leave the ant baits undisturbed while the ants are actively feeding on it.

The ants didn’t even come out to inspect it. I’m annoyed
1 reply from Woodstream Team team - 19 days ago
Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear that the ants were not interested in the bait. If they are ignoring it, then they are likely not interested in sweet foods at this time. We recommend contact killers such as a granular or spray to help combat them. Reach out to us at 1-844-837-7644 with any questions.

I hate using traps, but I hate ants everywhere more. Follow the directions and enjoy the ant parade for about a day. Then they slow down and disappear completely. Works.

ThoughtsAboutThis - 27 days ago
Did they change the formula? These used to work pretty great. Now they’re useless. Ants don’t even go to it anymore. Even the old ones were tricky to use, but at least they eventually seemed to work. The same issues remain with the old ones though— the poison liquid can leak out everywhere if there is the slightest angle on the floor and you don’t realize, and it can take a few days to work, getting much worse before it gets better. So if you can deal with a crazy influx of ants everywhere, it might eventually resolve —but again that’s the old formula. This one just doesn’t work at all, so all of the headache and none of the benefit. Waste of money.

We're sorry to hear your ants aren't interested in the bait! The formula hasn't changed, but not all ants are interested in sweet food all the time! Please contact us at 844-837-7644 with any questions, we're happy to help.

I've tried many different types of traps to get rid of this tiny black ants that found their way into my kitchen and none of them worked until I bought these. All I can say is WOW! Killed them all in about 24 hours and kept my house ant free for a while. You do need to be sure to change out the baits if they are full or dry up or you may have ants come back, but no other products have compared to this one. My only complaint is the end is a bit difficult to twist off when you go to set the traps, but for the superb job they do, I can deal with it.
Works!

I did not like it at all, it was not like the other traps I have bought in the past, where as soon as I place them my problem is solved. this was the first time I bought this kind and will not purchase it again, I had to use the spray I had to get rid of the ants.

NJ Ants - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
This things attracts ants, ok, but doesn’t trap all of them and it could even bring more. In one case it looked the ants build nest next to it. Peace of crap in my opinion. I need one that kills them when they touch it or bring poison to the nest and over , not to bring them into room and build nest inside.
1 reply from Woodstream Team team - 2 months ago
We are sorry to hear this! Ants may move pieces of their nest, dirt, mulch, sticks, etc. to hide the liquid ant bait. As long as the bait can still be accessed, this behavior does not change the effectiveness of the bait. Since this is a bait, the ants will not die immediately after ingesting the bait. After finding the bait, worker ants consume it and leave behind a pheromone trail leading back to the colony. This trail lets other worker ants know where the newly discovered food supply is. This is why you will see more ants in the beginning. Meanwhile, the active ingredient, Borax, is slowly interfering with the ant’s digestive system, ultimately killing it, but leaving enough time for the ant to go back and share the dose with the rest of the colony. This slow kill is necessary so that foraging ants can make several trips to the bait. The communal nature of an ant colony allows the bait to be spread to hundreds, if not thousands, of individual ants. Please feel free to contact us at 844-837-7644 for additional assistance!

Bought this item cuz the reviews looked good , but for me it didn’t seem to work well. Still have ants, they didn’t seem to run to the traps, and definitely not into them! Gave 2 stars since it’s possible that in one spot they might have stopped coming…..

Did not work. It definitely attracts the ants because there was A LOT of ant activity however after 4 days of leaving it out hardly any ants were killed and they just kept coming. My water and vinegar mixture worked better at killing them than this product did.

This product has changed. In the past it worked immediately. Now ants are still around days after products has been out.

We're sorry to hear about your experience! Our formula has not changed recently. It can take up to 2 weeks to control an ant colony. If ants are still present after this period, you may be dealing with multiple colonies. Consider treating the outside of your home using perimeter treatments. Contact killers can also be used to treat window sills, door openings and other areas you suspect ants are entering the home. This product is covered under a 30-day return policy. Please contact us at 844-837-7644 for assistance.

Works! At first, the ants seemed to avoid it but once I left the room and the light were off, they came in and invaded the bait! Ants are dead dead. I’m leaving it down for another couple of days just to be sure the colony is gone. It is messy if you spill it. Highly recommend this product for sugar ants and regular household ants.
