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.

A: 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: How would you place this near an outlet on the wall? mainly the ants are coming through there near my bed is also safe to sleep nearby it?
submitted by Cesparza - 11 months ago
A: To place the bait station near the outlet, you can put it on the floor directly below or to the side of the outlet. It is safe to sleep nearby as the bait stations are designed to be used indoors and the active ingredient is contained within the station.

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 - 1 year 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.
This ant bait product has garnered positive feedback for its effectiveness in eliminating ant infestations quickly. Many guests have reported seeing a significant reduction in ant activity within a day or two of use. The bait attracts ants effectively, allowing them to carry the poison back to their nests. While some guests experienced issues with packaging and leakage, the overall sentiment highlights its reliability and value for pest control.

Good temporary fix
It gets worse before it gets better. It will kill an entire colony with just 1 if you live In a small apartment. Ants gone in a couple days. But if there’s multiple colony you’ll have to keep dropping the bait every other week

IT WORKS!
Out of nowhere, I had about 20 ants between my side door and pantry. I sprayed Lysol, and the next day it got even worse with over 100 ants. I bought this, but they didn’t really go into the bait stations, so I put a few drops of the liquid where they were coming from to speed up the process. Within 24 hours, they were gone! Don’t panic if you see more ants at first, that means the bait is working. Trust the process for 1–3 days. The two dark specks in my picture are actually dead ants. Highly recommend!

It works be patient and persistent
It took patience and 2 rounds of 6 traps set 3 weeks apart in the same areas on the balcony for it to work, so a total of 6 weeks. First the swarms of ants got worse and then I saw a lot of dead ants so it works. I will be doing a maintenance round later on. Cheap and effective! PSA don’t be that apartment neighbor who has a bird feeder, the seeds attract and feed pests and ants like crazy and ruins shared balconies which led me to buy these.

Terro ant bait
These seem to work very well. One downside is somehow the mixture leaked out onto the floor overnight and its very hard to clean up (super sticky)

TRUST THE PROCESS!
You have to allow them to do their thing. It will attract ants and it looks like it’s getting worse, but leave them alone. Trust the process! They will be completely gone in a day or two. Place them in a spot where you have seen ants, but also out of the way so you don’t have to walk over a trail of ants. I promise, you will always use these if you follow this!

They work!
One day in an 8 our period I had about 10 ants on my desk in my home office which is very odd because eat or drink anything but water in there. I had some of these ant baits and within an hour there were ants all around in and inside the bait that I didn’t even know were in the house. It was actually pretty gross. They tell you not to kill the ants and let them take the bait which is what I have a hard time with.

Works Great!
I was a little concerned about the product not working because recent reviews said it didn’t work as well. I bought it anyway because I needed a quick and cheap way to get rid of these tiny ants. Left one container overnight and woke up to the trail of ants going into the trap! Two days later I haven’t had any ant issue at all! I’ve left it there about a week now and haven’t seen any ants at all, definitely worth the purchase!
