Liquid Ant Killer Baits(6 Bait Stations Net Contents 2.2fl.oz/0.36fl.oz)

Not in the habit of leaving reviews of any kind so my posting one is testimony to how good this product is. We live on a brownstone block in Brooklyn which has had ant infestation problems for years. Walk down the block on a hot summer day and there are little mounds in the cracks between sidewalk sections with ants pouring in and out of them. This summers infestation has been particularly bad and after trying several nationally advertised products we were going to call an exterminator. Fortunately for us we're having our facade restored and the exterminator wouldn't show until the work was done. In a last ditch, I'll try anything short of radiation moment, I ordered the Terro Baits from Amazon.Saying these work and ending the review would be neither helpful to prospective purchasers nor giving enough credit to the product. It was quite simply the strangest process I've ever witnessed. I placed a couple of the Baits in areas of our basement that act as ant superhighways with a dozen or so ants transiting at any given moment. Being curious as to how attracted the ants would be to the Baits I waited to see a couple enter the opening I had made in the side of the Bait. A few ants walked in and didn't come back out so I left not expecting much efficacy out of the Terro products.Two hours later my wife calls me down to the basement where I witnessed what must of been several thousand ants transiting to and swarming over the Baits. The next morning we awoke to nothing except a few dead ants on the basement floor. It's been two days now and we've not seen a single ant. Freakiest thing I've ever seen. Nothing in life is this effective! We also installed a couple of outdoor Baits in the front and rear of the house and both yards are completely devoid of ants.Now if they could make a product for mosquito that was just as effective....

This is the second time I have ordered these bait traps, and I don't think I will ever order another ant killer. I like the way the poison is contained. We always keep an open trap under the sink and around the trash can. Some ants go into the trap and take some back to colony, while others go inside and end up getting trapped and dying there. The instructions are clear and say do not move the traps once in place and do not kill the ants around the traps (as they could be carrying the liquid back to the colony). Although it is sometimes difficult to not kill a lone ant around the kitchen, I have learned to because these traps work so well. I really can't say enough good things about them. If I place a new bait in an area that I see a bunch of ants, in a couple of days there will no longer be any ants in that area. If you are on the fence and looking to get rid of some ants, buy these. Just make sure to read the directions and cut the baits open properly. The area printed to cut is not usually very accurate, and if you cut the wrong area there is a chance the the sugary liquid could leak (drying to be a complete mess) or the ants will not be as efficient entering and exiting.

Honestly, my biggest complaint with this product is that the ants don't suffer enough. After getting stung in the testicles by a rogue scout, and spending the entire day trying not to rub my junk and look like the office heathen, I decided it was time for complete and utter annihilation. Ants, at least those invading my home, are terrible at improvisation. Make sure you place the traps directly in their walking paths. Also, remove competition as given the choice between a cheeto or Terro death liquid, they'll choose the cheeto most of the time. Takes about 3 days to work once they start shuttling it back to their mounds.

Update: 8/1/2018 We didn't have a single any in 3 months after using this bait. I think a neighbor has a quarterly spray service as there is a definite pattern to the ant attacks. Yesterday we had a sudden infestation of ants after being ant-free for 3 months. There were literally Hundreds of ants pouring into the house making tracks to the dog's food bowl. Thank goodness I ordered extras of these the first time & was able to get a few set out. I accidentally spilled some on the floor & you should have seen the ants run to the spill (see photo). I had spilled the first time & had a sticky mess so was worried about the wood floor this time. I had to leave the house for a few hours & upon my return saw the Entire spill had been eaten by the ants! Today I've seen maybe 5 ants in the same area that had hundreds yesterday. I'm going to place another order to have on hand for the next invasion (I'm guessing in 3 months when my neighbors have a spray service again. Btw, they pay nearly $200. per quarter for the spray. I paid under $5.00 for this pack of bait).5/20/2018 Our whole neighborhood had a massive ant invasion since last summer. I've used many products indoors & outdoors but was still killing dozens & dozens of ants every day. I used these & within 2 days all traces of ants are gone. It's been over a month since I put these down & have still not seen a single ant inside the house or garage. Warning, prepare yourself for the hundreds of ants that will make a trail coming & going to/from this bait. I put down 6 of these & was gobsmacked when just one of them had hundreds of ants filling up. I had placed it in an area where I thought the ants were entering the house. Nope. I learned the real entrance point & moved it to keep the ants from roaming. Do pay attention to your placement after you've placed these in case you have the same situation. My neighbors are paying hundreds of dollars to have pest control company come out to spray quarterly for ants. I payed 4.72 (was an add-on price) & am happier with my results than they are (as they have to be careful with their pets & children coming into contact with the spray).
