Does it work on sugar ants?

Yes! I mainly use it for sugar ants. Let them take the bait back to their "nest"...meaning...you need to let them crawl around for a day after leaving the bait out without killing them. Once it's been out for a day or two you will notice...no more ants. Many months later you may notice a return, if it's a problem area but you'll have the Terro on hand!

I found that it was easy to use and provided an excellent barrier around the house against a variety of ants from carpenter ants, little red ones to those pesky little black ones that seemed like sugar ants. I have actually walked around the yard, sprinkled them on ant hills and after one little rain they were gone. Definitely worth the purchase.

Yes. Carpenter ants feed on sugar sources so this should be perfect for them. Just put it wherever you've been seeing them gather and watch the feeding frenzy begin!

I have never tried it for them. I have used it for argentinian ants and they ate it. I've not seen them since. This works amazingly well on ghost ants (the almost invisible, tiny ants). Black ants also eat it.

I'm going to assume no. I used the original gel the following summer and it worked and got rid of the ants just as well the first time.

Yes, just make sure you put the pressure sprayer wand into the mound. Works on our fire ants but you need to get it to., the queen to eliminate the colony.

This worked fantastically for me when I had a black ant (sugar) problem. I placed mine near what I thought was the source and within a day or two they were all gone. Try leaving it be and don't move/check it. I don't believe this works with red ants if that's what you have.

Only used it on sugar ants, and it was pretty effective. Why kill the spiders; they eat everything else. Of course black widows and brown recluse spiders are in a different category.

It will and bugs. But works well . Use less and no ants . Way less more often and this stuff youcant beat the yield increase.

I wish I could tell you for sure, but I honestly don't know. It works extremely quickly and effectively with other ants and for the price I'd say it's definitely worth a try. Good luck!

You only use this product for ants when they are underground. Try googling killing sugur ants, that may help

It works fantastically on the majority of common household ants. However, depending on geographical locale, there are some specialty variety ants which require very specific remedies. I mix two different baits. One uses peanut butter the other jelly or jam. About 1teaspoon boric acid to two tablespoons of either mixture. Mouse ants are drawn to either protein based (pb) or sugar based (jelly/jam) foods. Mouthing both out covers your bases. Explorer ants find the goodies and carry them back to the nest where other ants and larvae are red and poisoned by them. Other ants follow the explorers' trails and repeat the process. Before long, no more ants. You may have to pay with the proportions. Too much boric acid and the explorers die before they reach the nest or do not touch it to begin with. Too little acid and all we do is give our house visitors a really good free treat. Of course the baits must be kept out of reach of children and pets. Good hunting!

I've never used it for ants, but I have a neighbor who did and she said it worked great.

NO. Made to catch bed bugs only. There is a talc powder covering of this trap that damages their exoskeleton. I do not think it would have any affect on an ant.

Hi Dorothy, thanks for the question. I actually purchased this for the treatment of carpenter ants! I had a terrible invasion in a dead Fig tree limb, you should have seen them! Unfortunately I cannot post links here, but if you go to YouTube and search "boric acid kill ants" I'd suggest the videos by CupRockTv as well as gregthegardner. I don't own those videos, but I just did a bit if checking for you and I can recommend them. Let me know if you need anything else and have a fantastic day! -Nic

Probably not for the ants. It probably only works with creatures that eat wood and blocks some enzyme associated with digesting wood. I think it could prevent mold on wood, but if it already has mold, you should replace the wood first.

I'm not sure. I purchased it to make body scrubs and chapstick. I looked at this website: http://www.experience-essential-oils.com/natural-ant-killer.html and it says it should work for ants.
