Will this attract ants out like the liquid baits?

This stuff works different than the liquid bait. I do not know how it works, but a little on a ant hill and after a day or two - no more ants. I have a type of ant that is not attracted to the liquid stuff. The ants i have now are not the sweet eating variety. If you are having a ant problem - I would recommend giving this stuff a try.

This is made to be a defensive action around the base of the house. You are supposed to spread it around the base of your house to stop the ants from coming in.The liquid bait can be dropped right on the ant hole and they will bring it in, just like the bait traps. The liquid bait traps come in 2 sizes (small for the ants you seen every day in your yard) and the big and traps (about 3 times the size of the small ones). You need to watch the ants coming in and follow them back to the nest and put the trap right in their path. Hope this helps, it worked for me.

If you put in the path that the ants are walking, when they walk through it they take it back to the nest so all of the ants get it on them.

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!

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!

probably not, and there is no need. I've placed several pea-sized drops on a tree trunk that had an ant nest (ants were going up and down the tree constantly). The ants will find the gel. In my experience, after a couple days, the ants were gone

I'm no ant expert, but I had the same thing happen to me. The ants just went around them. I left them out anyway, and after a few days, they started to go into the bait traps. A few days after that, no more ants. I don't know if there's human scent on them from handling them or what. Maybe you can try putting a tiny amount of something ants like (sugar, e.g.) in or on the traps just to get them on or into them.

Agreed, occasionally ants get my bait. I clean the area scrupulously of debris and replace the bait. Also, make sure that the bait isn't propping the trip lever open. If I use too large a piece of Snickers (my mice's favorite) the trip lever won't move properly.

It creates a barrier. Spray the perimeter of your home. There is not bait. Not sure if this is ideal for ants. Need to check the label.

I used the Terro outdoor liquid and bait 6 pack T1806, as I could see them outside and this worked really well. I used 2 bait traps and placed them where they already had a trail to follow. I have not seen anymore big black ants in the house. I have used the small bait traps in the house with success but you need to keep them away from children and pets. Again you need to find the trail where they come into the area where they are located and put the trap where they have to walk on it or through it coming in or going out. Ants follow a path and don't change the path unless you do some thing to interrupt it. In the spring flying ants come out of the nests and fly off to make new nests, if you see them, kill them, use a spray, by hand, or knock them out of the air to the grown and step on them. I have used most of there products for ants and they have worked very well for me. Just read and follow the directions.

You bet. I have used this product on both the little red ants and the big black ones. I just dealt with a new onslaught from the other side of the yard (entering the house through some hidden crack in the foundation) this spring and honestly, they're gone.

Yes, they will carry poison back to nest and the poison will draw out more.Also ants usually show up around water sources, that is really what they are after. I have had great luck wiping out the ants w/ this product.

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.

No, I have linated floor and yes even I dropped a few drops to attract ants fast. You just srape and clean later.

I don't know. I did not use it on carpenter ants. I did however, have other ants besides fire ants and carpenter ants, and it did work on those.

You may have odorous house ants, which the Maxforce ant killer bait gel would be effective on. However, if the ants are something else that truly only is attracted to protein, the Maxforce Complete granular ant bait that includes both sugar and protein bait components might work better.

Not sure I have ever seen crazy ants...but pharoah yes. They are persistent. I usually double team with the baits as well. Some take to the gel, some the baits. But both products work great. You just have to be patient, put it in their path and leave them to it. They will take it back to the nest and kill off the rest as well. Sometimes same day, some trails a few days. Hope this helps.

It will hold a liquid bait and prevent rain from getting in. The inside of the station is an open cup with steep walls. However, I'm not sure how easily ants can leave the station after consuming the bait. I found many ants drowned in the liquid bait I used.

Yes, this net will definitely get the ants out, without a doubt. I absolutely love the net. It's so strong.
