Ants can be a problem anywhere – in the home, at work, and everywhere in between. To kill common household ants, place TERRO Liquid Ant Baits in areas where you've seen ant activity. This will attract foraging ants to take the bait back to the nest. As the bait circulates through the colony, it kills the ants you see and those you don’t. Within a few days, you should see a significant decrease in ants visiting the bait. The compact size of the bait stations makes them perfect for placement along baseboards, in corners, on counters, under and behind appliances, and on windowsills. The more bait placements you use, the better!

Since this is bait, initially you will see more ants – but don’t worry, this is a good thing. Why? As ants forage for food, they are quickly attracted to the sweet, sugary liquid inside the bait stations. 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 eliminating 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.

TERRO Liquid Ant Baits are very easy to use. Before placing the bait stations, be sure to remove other sources of food, such as crumbs. Do not place bait where you’ve already used insect sprays, as the pests may avoid the bait stations. To use, simply snap off the tab and place the bait station label side up on a flat surface near signs of ants. Place additional bait stations anywhere they may enter your home. Monitor bait stations regularly and replace them when the bait is depleted. Once ants are controlled, replace the baits every 3 months to keep them from returning.
