A: They are not designed for outside use. We recommend the Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stakes for outdoor use.

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.

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.

A: Hi, thank you so much for your question! You can use a mop with warm water and leave it on the area for one hour. After that, clean with a sponge and soap.

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.

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.

A: Hi, thank you so much for your question. Unfortunately, no, this is not going to kill carpenter ants. You can use the T1901-6 product to kill carpenter ants.

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.
