1806 Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits, 1.0 fl. oz. - 6 count

Prior to putting out this ant bait, there were lots of ants coming into the house (like 30-100 or so ants) from different locations, which changes here and there, some locations more than others, it was very frustrating. This area of housing, all have ant problems. I think the ants we have here are Argentine Ants. >>Ant bait started: 06/24/2016 Pros: Very simple to use and attract ants very fast after they find the deadly concoction, then the ants just keep coming and going into the bait trap. Cons: Instructions state to push the white thin plastic cap down to break the seal, then twist a 1/4 turn. It's almost impossible to twist the 1/4 turn after pushing the cap down, since the white plastic cap is so flimsy and held tight by 4 clips, the cap just get all squished up. Because of that, the first bait trap, I accidentally dripped out some of the concoction, which you can see the image review result of ants lapping it up like they were at an Irish pub. NOTE: With the next bait trap, I made sure part of the visible aluminum foil is pressed down as much as possible and twisted toward one of the four clips, then push the cap down, then carefully pull on one of the clips to loosen it up a bit, but not so hard to break it, then twist that 1/4 turn, that made it much easier to twist, then press down the top of the white cap to essentially squeeze the concoction out to leak into the inside of the trap faster. Just to get the ants to find it quicker, I carefully tip the trap to purposely spill a little bit of the concoction out on the ground and that gets the ants going quicker. Conclusion: So far, it seems to be attracting the ants very well, so 4 stars for now. I put out four traps outdoor at four different locations(probably four different colonies), once I see that if the ants stop coming into the house or the numbers drop dramatically, I'll update the star rating at that time. Sorry ants and Antman. >>UPDATE: 6/27/2016 Since I put out the four ant baits at different locations, I have not seen a single ant in the house. Some trails are starting to petered out, while others are still somewhat heavy, I guess two of the four colonies are bigger. Guess we'll see after a total of two weeks or so to see how it's working. So far, seems to be working, at least to keep the ants out of the house. >>UPDATE 7/1/2016 Still not a single ant in the house that I can find. Noticed two baits that most likely lead to one colony, started to petered out a LOT. I called the manufacturer, they suggested if that's the case, to take the baits away and do not put out new baits for at least a couple of days, if too soon, it'll just attract more ants from elsewhere. If the ants are back after a couple of days, then put out new baits. Next door neighbor said they started having ant issue about 2 days ago. Then not long after, I started noticing more ants with the remaining two baits(which I was about to take away), coming from the neighbor's side, probably another 2 colonies. Now, I have to leave those baits out longer, until it peters out. The manufacturer stated that the bait will last about 3 months. I keep mine shaded, to keep it from drying out quicker than it should. >>UPDATE 7/3/2016 Noticed ONE ant in the house on the kitchen counter. >>UPDATE 7/8/2016 Noticed a lot less(practically nothing) activities, so I called the manufacturer and they suggested taking the baits away and let them share what they've gotten thru the colonies, so I did. Still no ants in the house yet. >>UPDATE 7/10/2016 Found another heavy trail of ants in a different location, probably from the neighbor's house, so another ant bait is put out. Other than that, the previous ant baits that I've put out and finally thrown away, no more ants at those locations so far. >>UPDATE 8/3/2016 Found about 10 scout ants in the bedroom, but could not locate where they are coming from, nor any new heavy trails outside to put a new ant bait. It's still much better than before using this ant bait. >>UPDATE 9/7/2016 Noticed some ants coming into the master bedroom by chewing thru the painter's chaulk at the bottom of the baseboard about a week or two prior to this update, even though I patched up some tiny holes a couple of times. So, I put out a Terro indoor ant bait at that location, but they are not really going crazy for it. Then on 9/7, I noticed a new heavy ant trail outdoor where an existing outdoor ant bait was just taken away a few days before, so I put out another new outdoor ant bait in the same area and the ants are going for it. Man, this is like a never ending battle. Hence I have a small stock piled of this ant bait stuff. I've also updated from 4 to 5 stars, this bait really works if you use it right, to keep the ants from coming into the your home. >>UPDATE 11/26/2016 It's been about 2-2.5 months now since the last update, even when raining, have not seen a single ant in the house and I have yet to put out any new ant baits, either outdoor or indoor, but I do see a small amount of ants outside and hopefully they'll stay out. >>UPDATE 12/18/2016 After the recent rain, there are now ants in the house, coming through the caulking of the baseboard in the bathroom and living room, so started using the Terro indoor T300B ant baits and they are going bananas over it. No ants outdoor. See my new review of the indoor version at TERRO T300B 2-Pack Liquid Ant Baits >>UPDATE 04/25/2017 I have not seen a SINGLE ant anywhere inside the house since the last update, only a very tiny bit in the backyard, even after a lot of heavy rain lately. I don't know if it's the ant bait or me giving them the mad stare(I think it's the mad stare). Still, I hoarded a little stash of this ant bait in my garage, just in case if I need it. I'm ready for any new ant zombie apocalypse. >>UPDATE 06/20/2017 Wow, after about 5-6 months of not seeing a single ant, just noticed two heavy ant trails. One trail, the ants are getting thru the floor's heat vent, into the dinning room floor mainly and a little on the counter. I went to get this WMD and put out two baits outdoor, one at each location. Within an hour, with the first bait where the ants are coming into the house, the ants has already found the entrance to my new pub establishment and the customers are already lined up going in and out, free drinks for everyone, unfortunately, I won't get repeat customers. If this keeps up, I can open up a franchise of pubs, more stores than McD or Subway. >>UPDATE 07/28/2017 Still no ants in the house where they were coming in from the update of 06/20/2017. The one bait in the backyard still had heavy activities as of yesterday. Today, no actions, checked the bait, it was empty, I'm gonna take it away tonight and see if any ants will start coming into the house from the last location, if not, I'll leave them be. The other bait is still out and attracting ants and not empty yet. However, there are a minute of ants coming in from somewhere in the master bedroom and bathroom, starting about 1.5 weeks ago. A couple of days after, started seeing a few ants in the same kitchen area. I think this will be my last update and hope the other updates help with potential ant fighters to decide if this is right for them or not. Good luck to all with the never ending war :) >>UPDATE 9/6/2017 What the heck, I'll give one more update. A few days ago, it was very hot, the hottest it has been for a long time, the ants were on a rampage in the living room and bedroom, 100+ per room, one of the worse I've seen. Like the North Korean war, no matter how many you wipe out really quick, there is another swarm of them coming. For the dining room, they found one little food crumb and they came round about to get to it, I cleaned and vacuumed the area, put out an ant bait outdoor where they were coming in from the backyard, within an hour or two, no more ants in the living room and they went for the bait outside instead heavily. But, within two days, they petered out tremendously from the backyard and so I took the bait way. So far, barely any ants in the backyard and none in the living/dining room, so this area is done for now. The bedroom, holy crap, they were coming in drones, laid out two indoor baits, one leaked all over the wood floor over time, which attracted a lot of the little suckers. So, I decided to clean the area up of that very sticky stuff and removed the two baits, then put out a new outdoor bait instead and now they are going for that, not as many ants as before, but still a good amount, may take another few days or a week or two. After using both outdoor and indoor baits, I prefer the outdoor, does not spill as easily. >>UPDATE 05/04/2018 Sometime after the last update, there was a large number of ants coming from the backyard and into the house, so I put another bait out and this time I just left it out, ants or no ants. The ants comes and goes, but when they come, they find and go for the bait instead, therefore keeping them from going into the house. In the last 6+ months at least, I may have come across a few ants (less than 10) inside the house with one bait. As of this writing, the bait is still sitting outside shaded. >>UPDATE 08/11/2018 The freaking ants came in from a different location not long ago after the last update, cause they found something on the floor in the kitchen, cleaned in up, found the trail, put out more of this bait outdoor and they stopped coming in soon after. After leaving the baits out ALL the time in the new and old locations (OUTDOOR), no ants in the house. I even replaced the worn out bait at the old locations with new ones, ants or no ants, nothing still, for NOW! Won the battle again so far, but the war is never over! >>UPDATE 01/29/2019 Since I've been leaving the ant bait outdoor all the time, ants or no ants, I have not seen a single ant in the house. This may be the end of the Ant-Man trilogy. >>UPDATE 04/20/2019 Since I've been leaving out the outdoor ant bait, ants or no ants, have not seen a single ant in the house so far, F-ing A! >>UPDATE 09/01/2019 Since the last time I put out two new baits, it must've been atleast 6+ months, checked it here an there and noticed that there is still some weight inside, so they are no empty, noticed a very small amount of ants still going in and out of them and not a freaking one in the house. Cool mofo! Today, I decided to change them out for new ones, ones that I've had sitting in my garage stash for about a year+. The first one, I noticed that the liquid was not dripping out easily, like it's gummed up just by sitting around in the garage, so i put that one in one location anyway, had to push the cap down hard, then it would slowly drip out like very thick syrup, where it should be dripping like thin syrup. With the second one, I upside down it under hot water for about 5 mins before use, after that, when I shook it, you can hear the liquid moving inside, unlike the other gummed up one. Not sure if by heating it up with hot water, if it will gum up again soon after, but I took it to the 2nd location and dripped some out to get the ants going quicker, it dripped out smoothly, like if you just bought it recently. >>UPDATE 9/5/2019 Update from the previous 9/1/2019. I just looked at the one bait that I stated was gummed up without using hot water, ants are having a small pool party there without inviting me as the nice generous host(my feeling is kinda hurt for not getting an invite), not huge, but they are coming and going, doing the Irish jig as they are leaving. More ants are coming to this new renovated pub, compared to the old worn out one that I just threw away prior. The other bait, not too many ants. Blah...

Ants are quite annoying here in south Georgia. Within 100f of my house I probably have dozens of different colonies, and no matter how many workers I slaughter, they promptly make more and keep coming back. They aren't getting the message. I've had 4 different invasions in a month. The last one was in the bathroom when a honey vine plant somehow grew through a closed window, bringing in ants with it. It's like they used it as a battering ram to breach a castle. These particular ants herd tiny beetles like cattle on the plants to harvest honey for them. So when the plant came in, they promptly came in with it. Had to spray another ant army to death and chop this evil plant down. Enough is enough. I decided to start shopping for poison. After it arrived, I deployed 2 stations. The first I placed near a colony outside that keeps invading my room. The 2nd I placed near an active train outside the other side of the house. In maybe 10m, they were both already being harvested. The colony didn't take long to notice the juicy gift I sat out for them, and had a few dozen workers drinking it up. The bait near the ant train got even more activity. They started to divert over to the bait. I hope these stations help get the message across. I'm tired of dealing with these pests. They can go get their scraps from somewhere else. I'm going to give 1 trap to my mother who constantly has ants getting into her cat food out on her porch. I bet her cats will appreciate it. For using the bait, I suggest dripping some of it out onto the ground to get the scent into the air faster, unless you ordered the liquid separately, in which you could simply use that. This will attract the ants much faster, where they will easily find the rest inside. When deploying it, I noticed that the holes for the ants to enter are really small, which means the ants could very well be too big, unless you're only dealing with the tiny garden variety. If your ants are too big, you could leave the packet tilted up some to allow for a bigger entrance. But the more exposed the goop is, the faster it will expire. They were designed for a tight fit so it could persist for several weeks, and resist rain or wind. When placing it on the ground, push the spikes into the ground so it cannot be blown over.

If you are reading this, you are having Ant problems. I would like to share my experience so that you know the right way to kill Ant and don't need to spent the effort (of study and kill) like I did to get ride of Ant. I am having Ant problem this year in the kitchen, front window, and upstairs bath room. I have done lots of research about how to dealing with Ants and tried many products (Terro indoor/outdoor liquid bait, Terro Aerosol, Terro Insect Bait, Terro Ant Dust, Ant Max Bait Station, Ortho Home defense Max, Ortho Ant dust, Ortho Bug-B-gun, and others, etc... After 2 months of fighting and now finally, I get ride of Ant. I am writing this review. I. Knowing the Products: 1). Liquid bait: It works pretty well (sweet Ants). However, some problems: A). Tt does not work all the time. Some Ants just don't eat it (protein Ant)a. We observe there are ants avoid liquid bait for one week and finally use other method to kill them (see below). B). It takes a long time (from 5 days to 8 weeks). C). Ant is not necessary eat it right away. In some case, tt take a while for Ants to eat it (even we put bait with on Ant's path. D). 95% of Ant die within 3~5 days. However, some Ants still show up here and there once a while. 2). Dust and Aerosol: Kill Ant instantly on contact. Also, prevent Ant to come back. However, Ants can still walk over floor was spray (dust). They might die much later somewhere else. 3). Home Defense and Insect Bait: Not as strong as above product. It is good to use for prevention. Ant die if Home defense spray on them directly. However, Ants walk over the sprayed floor without any program. 4). Bug-B Gon. I apply three time with water them down. And it does not seems to work too well to solve my problem. II. Knowing Ants: 1). Ants likes 2 of 3 following items: food, water, and shelter. => Don't let Ants have what they like. They won't come. 2). Need to kill the Queen in the colony to solve the problem. However, it takes a long time. 3). Two type of ants (sweet and protein) so use different bait for them. III. Fighting procedure: 1). Finding where they come from: This is very important. Use peanut butter on index card (or indoor liquid bait) to attract Ant. Following the Ants to trace down where they come from. Most of time, they come from the hole (in the wall) where water pipe come in. => Use outdoor bait outside near where the pipe come in. If you use indoor bait, make sure don't disturb Ants once they take the baits (even it is very disgusting) 2). Finding Ants Outsides: Walk around your house and visually exam to see if you see Ants around your outside wall, foundation. => Use Outdoor baits (use more than one at one time) outside on place you find the ants. 3). Once Ant disappear (or reduce to less than 5%, wait for 1 week after Ant take the bait). a). Use Dust (need a sprayer) or Aerosol on the hole (where Ant come in) or Ant's colony (2 ~ 3 times) until Ant completely disappear. b). Use plumber putty to seal the hole inside or caulk the outside crack. 4). Use Home Defense indoor along wall (as instruction) around the house. 5). Use Home Defense outdoors on the house perimeter. 6). Repeat step 5 before Sprint time and once every 2 months. Hopefully this helps you to fight Ant completely.

TERRO Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits kills the ants you see and the ants you don't. Best used for attracting and killing all common household ants including Argentine ants, ghost ants, cornfield ants, pavement ants, acrobat ants, white footed ants, little black ants, odorous house ants and other sweet-eating ants.To attract and kill ants, simply place the pre-filled, ready-to-use liquid bait stations outdoors in areas where ants are observed and secure baits with the stakes provided. Ants typically follow defined trails from the nest to food or water. Placing the outdoor ant baits close to these trails will improve control. The weatherproof outdoor ant baits prevent the liquid bait from drying out, providing the ants with a continuous supply of food, day and night. The key to successfully controlling ants is to lure worker ants – those that you see out marching around in plain view – to the sweet liquid ant bait, which they will consume and carry back to feed to the rest of the colony. While the active ingredient in TERRO Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits will ultimately kill the worker ant, it slowly interferes with the ant's digestive system so that the worker has time to get back and share the ant bait with the rest of the colony. This slow kill is needed to allow time for the foraging ants to make several trips to the bait and deliver enough bait to the rest of the colony. This is the only way to get rid of both the ants you see and the ants you don’t. My answers to the frequently asked questions: Will these work for carpenter ants? Yes. They kill a variety of ants and carpenter ants, along with regular household ones are part of that list. Will this work on fire ants. Same as the above. Ants tend to forage for food and the bait lures a large variety of ants. How do I tell If they are empty? Unlike the indoor traps they are not clear. You can tell if it's empty by positioning the device on its side. If liquid does not come out then it is empty. Overall I would highly recommend this product to anyone needing to solve their ant problem. Like our review? Hit the "Yes" button below for it being useful.

We just moved into a new house in March and then in April when we had a few warm days, we realized there was a major ant infestation. They were everywhere. They found every speck of food. I was disgusted. We’d pick up a napkin off the table that had been there maybe an hour and tiny ants would be pouring out. I set out the normal little traps all over the house and we tried to live with them and not kill them so they’d take the bait back to their queen/nest. Eventually the made their way to the cat food and the bowl was literally crawling with them. I couldn’t take it anymore and sprayed poison all over the house. That certainly helped but I knew we needed to take care of the actual problem, not just the ones that made it inside, or they would just keep coming. I took a look outside and noticed the landscaping near the house was crawling with them. I bought these baits and put them all over the outside of the house, right next to the foundation. I also watched to find trails of ants and placed some right in the middle of their trails. That afternoon and especially the next day you could see trails of ants leading to the bait stations. IT WAS AWESOME. DIE SUCKERS DIE! After a few days of that, I don’t see many ants anymore, and very rarely inside. I plan to repurchase throughout the summer and then will also get a head start next spring as well now that I know to expect it. These can be a little tricky to set up, just because you have to keep them level. I suggest setting them up on flat concrete, like the driveway, before carefully carrying them to their destination. You take the small cup (think like a sauce cup with foil lid from a fast food pizza restaurant) and flip it upside down onto the tray. You press down all the way, don’t be afraid to push it down. I was afraid the first couple I did because I wasn’t sure if I would ruin them. So, you push down all the way to pierce the foil lid, then turn the bait cup a little bit to rip some more of the foil inside. I then lifted the cup up just a bit to make sure the ants could get inside. The sticky sweet stuff will flow into the tray only. Unless you tilt them you won’t see any. I decided to tilt all of them a little on the ground (in their planned spots, not on the concrete) before re-leveling. I let some of the clear poison spill out to make sure the ants found it. I did get some on myself and just washed my hands and the other skin areas that touched it. I didn’t have any type of reaction or anything. Get these. You won’t be disappointed.

Near the start of the year I got a wall replaced in my backyard (a pool perimeter concrete wall), and that must have kicked up some sort of ant colony, because they just kept coming. I didn't pay them much mind, since it's outside and I do expect nature to do its thing, but once summer came around and the days started being regularly over 100 degrees, these ants picked up their activity big time, and along with it a smaller type of ant seemed to move into my yard as well. I have indoor/outdoor cats, and I do leave food and water outside for them. I'd never had much issue with the ants taking over the cat food until this summer (again I think because of the wall replacement), but it got bad. Very bad. To the point where my cats would come crying and I would check their food only to see it positively swarming with ants, and nothing to be done about it. I tried a few cheaper bait traps to no avail, the ants literally just walked on top of them and continued on their merry way. I placed out three Terro traps where I knew the ants made their lines, and within four or five days every single ant was gone. All of them. The big ones, the little ones, every ant I ever saw in my backyard was gone. I cannot recommend these enough, they work wonderfully. The instructions say it may take up to two weeks, and I've left mine out just in case any stray ants get ideas about moving in, but I swear I haven't seen any more of them, day or night. Unlike some other users I had no trouble pushing the caps down and twisting them. The trick is to push down on the sides where the lip of the container is, and then pull back up a little to twist it. Like others I did spill a little of the bait out just to be sure the ants would get interested, but I don't really think that was necessary. As long as you put it where their lines are heading, they'll find it. Also, just to note, my cats didn't care about the traps at all, and there's really no way for them to get into them. Not that they would, I don't imagine the bait is very appetizing for cats (or dogs). One of them sniffed the top part and seemed wholly disinterested before moving on, so I was never concerned about the bait hurting my pets.

I was actually surprised how well these worked. I have had grease/protein eating ants invading my home (not exactly sure what kind). They haven't been interested in most of the other commercial ant baits because most baits are designed to treat sweet seeking aints. The ants I have actually LOVE bacon grease, but could care less about sugar. I tried mixing some melted grease with borax, proper boric acid powder, and boiling water, hoping the paste made would do the trick. The ants liked it, sure enough, but they never stopped coming for more (month long test). So I got the impression it wasn't working and tried this product instead. And I definitely noticed a severe drop in ants after a short while, but Bayer Advance 375A works way way better. These do make descents bait stations, but... Unfortunately Racoons or possums keep stealing/emptying the ones I put outside. I've been staking them down really good and even stacking bricks over them too, but the fiends just push the bricks aside and pull the tops off or pull the whole things up and either leave them scattered about the yard or take off with them entirely. I've lost 1 out of the 5 I've put out, and 1 of the tops from another. I'm going to try taping the tops down with a bunch of duct tape, screwing them down to boards, then I'm gonna stake down the boards well enough that an ape would have trouble getting them up... The y will likely just chew through them, but wish me luck. Note: I had a palm tree removed from right next to the house that had a absolutely huge nest living within the root system; which was spread out within multiple layers of weed barrier. I'm pretty sure that colony invaded my home. Beware, if you are going to disturb a lot of earth right outside your house, you might want to have some pesticides handy to keep any displaced ant colonies from moving into your house.

Like a number of other reviewers I had tried a number of other products before I got to this one. We live in a slab house and this summer we were SERIOUSLY invaded by ants. By seriously I mean you could put something on the counter, turn around to go to the refrigerator, and by the time you turned back they were coming out for whatever you put on the counter! No exaggeration. It was full out war. We had tried many products, including the stuff you put into your grass around the perimeter of the house, other brands of ant traps, sprays, borax, the stick things- all money down the drain. Now I think it made it worse, after reading the other reviews about what can happen using the sprays and such. I was at the point of contacting an exterminator though the expense would be a lot for us right now, and I prefer to have long term solutions I can do on my own- don't like to depend on services like that if at all possible. So, I went back to the internet one last time. Somehow I stumbled upon the reviews for this product. I have to admit I was still pretty skeptical but the other reviewers sold me on at least trying this product before going to the exterminator route. I ended up buying a full stockpile of the Terro products- a couple boxes of the outdoor baits, the outdoor liquid square things, and a number of boxes of the indoor - prefilled baits. We have used less than one round of what I have purchased, and the ants are ALL BUT GONE. Unbelievable!! Based on other reviews, we cut off use of all other products for a few days and then put the Terro baits indoor and outdoor. We also did not move or clean away the baits, even though it was really gross with dead ants literally all over the baits and around the baits on the floor. We put out 4 of the indoor baits, mostly in the kitchen areas, and one box each of the outdoor baits. I would suggest that combo if you do have the extensive problem we had, because the ants swarmed to the baits, and the baits got over flowing with dead ants. Still our combo knocked them out in less than 3 weeks. I am incredibly pleased because the cost of all this was less than $50 and I still have a full second round to use. We are still getting a random ant here and there, which are very small in size. My partner is convinced they are "sending out the baby ants" because there are so few left to send LOL... I don't know about that but I do know I can make toast on the counter without ruining a full container of butter! Also, I have both cats and a dog, and other than putting them behind or under some of my low kitchen furniture, I had no issue with them being around the animals. They had no interest in them.

Removed ants for a while, bit now they're back and containers empty, their indoor product is great but this didn't work well. But I am under invasion from big ants.

well, Ants doesn't like it, put on the path of ants and still many ants are passing. Used for 2 weeks. Looks the number of ants was reduced but only several dead ants.
