14 best indoor ant killers

Product description

To kill common household ants, simply place TERRO Liquid Ant Baits stations near indoor areas where ants are spotted. Ants enter the trap, consume the liquid ant bait and return to the nest where they pass on the bait to the rest of the colony. TERRO Liquid Ant Baits are specifically formulated to allow worker ants to consume the product and survive long enough to carry the liquid back to the nest and deliver a dose to the rest of the colony . The liquid ant bait stations prevent the bait from drying out and provide the ants with a continuous supply of liquid, day and night. Monitor the baits regularly for activity, but do not interfere with the ants or baits. Replace with additional baits when the first set is depleted. Depending on the size of the ant infestation, complete control may take up to two weeks.

• 12 bait stations included
• Kills all common household ants
• Pre-filled, ready-to-use bait stations
• Patented design prevents bait from drying out
• Attracts ants fast
• Contains Borax
• Place baits near ant trails or where ants are numerous
• Use all six baits to ensure sufficient supply for the ants

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is the pricing so weird? It's actually 2x more in bulk! Did someone make a mistake? Sorry for the rhetorical question, silly vendor person
Answer:	It has to do with who the actual "seller" is. If you select a quantity of "1", in this case, it is "sold and fulfilled" by Amazon. If you select a quantity of "2" it is "sold" by another company while still being "fulfilled" by Amazon. Yes, both quantities are, as of this writing, "fulfilled" by Amazon but that just tells you that Amazon stores, packages, and ships both items(1 and 2 packs) even though there are, in reality, two different "sellers". If you click back and forth on the quantity selector you'll see the "sold by" name change. Look just under the price after you switch. The seller of the 2 pack sets the price whereas the seller of the 1 pack(Amazon) sets its own price. I'm sure Amazon buys the 1 pack in very large quantities and, therefore, can get a bigger discount, per piece, than the other "seller" can get, per piece, for the 2-pack.
Question:	How safe is this product in the kitchen? We have a few ants crawling around our kitchen sink and would like to place one of these bait stations on our kitchen counter. Bad idea? Thanks
Answer:	This is a generally safe product according to my research. Make sure to read the packaging and follow direction. (FOR INDOOR USE READ THE FOLLOWING) One lesson I learned the hard way: the sugary syrup is irresistible to ants, even though it is laced with poison. This means when you use Tarro, you're actually providing access to free food! The poison will work on the ants and it takes about 18-24 hours to kill them... but as you wait after 24 hours, Tarro syrup will attract other thriving colonies into your home. They'll follow the same rich trails laid behind by the previous colony and even scavenge on the carcases of the previously fallen colony. This cycle will continue, attracting ants from far away reaches and allowing them to setup massive colonies within your home. This is especially true with Argentine ants (available throughout the world), which form massive colonies with multiple queens - a trait unique to this type of ant, whereas others will battle for territory. So the lesson learned is simple... once the initial 1 or 2 swarms die down, remove all baits and all forms of food from open spaces in your home; patch up all openings in walls, baseboards, cracks around windows, etc; apply perimeter pesticide around your home; and look for signs of wandering ants in the next week. If you see more ants then you missed an opening and already have an established colony in your wall.... repeat!! Just don't leave out Tarro and keep replenishing, especially in the case of Argentine ants.
Question:	Is this safe to have around pets? I have a curious cat
Answer:	I'd say no. My cat knocked one of these over once and licked the syrup. She was fine but it wasn't a fun afternoon (trip to the vet, etc.). Terro sells a version of this that encloses the bait in plastic and has sticky squares to attach them to the floor, counter, or other surfaces. I use those instead now.
Question:	I have a baby in the house and I would like to use this product to kill ants in my house. Any precautions you suggest before I use this product
Answer:	The ant trails at my house sometimes go from the floor to the ceiling. I turn the bait so that the liquid will not run out and use Scotch tape to tape it to the wall next to the ant trail. I tape the bait high enough that babies and grand children cannot get to it. It usually takes two days for the ants to disappear. Then three days after they disappear, they return to the trap. Another two days and they disappear again. The second time they disappear is usually the last time I see them at that location.

TERRO Liquid Ant Baits

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 they attract foraging ants that take the bait back to the nest. As the bait circulates through the colony, it kills the ants you see and the ones you don’t. The new and improved snap-off tab makes the stations easy to use. To open the bait, hold the station vertically and twist the tab. This opens up the station and allows ants to access the bait. Place the entire station on a flat surface, keeping the ant bait inside the station. Plus, the closed bait stations prevent the bait from drying out to provide the ants with a continuous supply of liquid, day and night. Note: complete control may take up to two weeks.

How Liquid Ant Bait Works

Since this is a bait, initially you will see more ants – but don’t worry, this is a good thing. Why? As ants forage for food, they are easily 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 killing 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.

How to Use Liquid Ant Baits

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, sugar and grease spots to prevent attracting ants elsewhere. Do not place bait where you’ve already sprayed insecticides, as the pests may avoid the bait stations.

1. Hold the bait station firmly with bait pack tab facing up. Break off the tab being careful not to spill the bait.
2. 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. For best results, use all bait stations to ensure a sufficient supply for the ants.
3. Monitor placements regularly, but do not interfere with the pests or bait stations. Replace when bait is depleted. Complete control may take up to two weeks.
4. Once ants are controlled, replace the baits every 3 months to keep them from returning.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this enough for a two story house? Ive spotted 3 or 4 carpenter ants. We have a pest guy buy he's all natural and the stuff he sprayed washed away
Answer:	They work well for my 2 story home. Put them at both entryway doors and anywhere I have been seeing ants and they seem to clear up the problem.
Question:	I only see scattering of ants is this going to attract more ants
Answer:	This product didn't get rid of ants for me. I think it probably attracted more of them then were originally there but didn't kill them. I'm still looking for a product that does the job.
Question:	Does it kill roaches
Answer:	It doesn't kill anything!
Question:	how to open so ants will go in and out of the trap
Answer:	It is open, ants just do not go in. I could not get 1 ant to go in, even if I put 1 next to the opening.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this safe to use around plant
Answer:	They suspend in water
Question:	Why can’t this be shipped to my address in Minnesota
Answer:	6 inch.. Baby brushes at 4.5 I think.. Babies for the spring.. Big ones for late summer and fall
Question:	What if the ground isn’t moist before application? Do the granules have to be wet to work
Answer:	They work well on largemouth but you will get more bites on the baby brush hogs for sure ! I like the big ones because I have caught several big fish on them and tournament fishing you have to catch some bigger fish to compete
Question:	Why will this state that it will not ship to my address in Texas, however, no problem with the shipping of the same product that is in the 4 lb size
Answer:	In my opinion, this bait is best used for flipping into heavy cover, like weeds, grass or lay-down logs, etc. I rig it 'texposed' with a 5/0 extra-wide gap hook and a 1/2 ounce(or heavier, depending on the cover) bullet weight. If this terminology is unfamiliar to you, there are lots of good videos on youtube- it's abit complicated to explain with text, but by actually watching someone do it, it's not hard at all to learn. Use heavy line, at least 20# if you're using mono or fluorocarbon, but I personally use braid, 50# or even 65#, and a stout rod.All that being said, one CAN use the smaller sizes as a drop shot bait. Here is where spinning gear and lighter line, 8# or 10# test, depending on cover/water clarity, can come into play. Again, youtube can show you how to rig a Brush Hog on a drop shot rig.

Pretty fishy if you ask me.

Product description

Combat Max Ant Killing Gel helps you get rid of ants in just three to five days. It’s formulated to attract ants quickly, while its fast-acting insecticide, Fipronil, one of the most powerful ant killers, starts to exterminate ants in hours. Worker ants return to the colony and feed the bait to the larvae and to the queen, eliminating the entire ant colony. This gel is easy to use so you can apply it in cracks, crevices and other hard-to-reach places. Combat Max Ant Killing Gel is effective against Carpenter, Pharaoh, Argentine, Cornfield, Odorous House, Thief, Pavement, White Footed, and Little Black Ants.

• Easy to use
• Child resistant
• Leaves little to no mess
• Gel bait kills ants and the entire colony
• High water content encourages faster feeding, so it starts killing within hour
• Provides fast control of ants within 3 to 5 days
• Syringe applicator lets you place the gel in hard to reach areas where ants travel, such as cracks and crevices
• Ready-to-use directly from the syringe for fast, easy application

User questions & answers

Question:	does this kill all species of ants
Answer:	Presumably (but not verified scientifically) YES as it kills the Pharaoh ants which ARE established as the toughest common household ant species to kill.
Question:	Can I dillute and spray this using a bottle sprayer (on ant trails going up some tree trunks
Answer:	I don't know if it can be diluted and sprayed, but that is unnecessary regardless. All you need do is deposit some of the gel from the syringe in a few spots along the ant's trail, at the base of the tree and higher (it should stick to the bark). The ants will be all over it. They'll bring it back to their nest for the queen. Give it a few days, and you'll be pleased with the results!
Question:	What is the active ingredient? What is the character of the attractant: sweet, protein, other
Answer:	According to information on previous review the active ingredient is Fipronil. According to Wikipedia "It is a slow acting poison. When used as bait, it allows the poisoned insect time to return to the colony or harborage. In cockroaches, the feces and carcass can contain sufficient residual pesticide to kill others in the same nesting site. In ants, the sharing of the bait among colony members assists in the spreading of the poison throughout the colony. With the cascading effect, the projected kill rate is about 95% in three days for ants and cockroaches. Fipronil serves as a good bait toxin not only because of its slow action, but also because most, if not all, of the target insects do not find it offensive or repulsive." Regarding whether the attractant is "sweet" or "protein" -- I really don't know; however, the ants that we killed had been attracted to sweet thing.
Question:	Does it kill carpenter ants
Answer:	Yes. I have used this to kill carpenter ants.

User questions & answers

Question:	The wand on the bottle died even though I cahnged batteries. Any way I can purchase the wand only
Answer:	DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) are naturally occurring molecules in all living cells and organisms. So we naturally eat DNA and RNA every day, be it from an apple, bread, meat, broccoli etc. Our body recycles DNA and RNA molecules because we constantly need to synthesize our own DNA and RNA. DNA is best known for making up our genes. RNA is best known for being template molecules that are translated into proteins. But there are many other essential functions of DNA and RNA. Every time we buy food in the grocery store the label lists the grams (or percentage) of fat, carbohydrates, protein etc. DNA and RNA don't belong in these categories, just like water, minerals, vitamins etc. DNA and RNA are acids and they could always be listed on basically every food item but nobody usually lists it because DNA and RNA make up only a tiny percentage of the cells, among other reasons.

HOW DO YOU USE IT?

FOR ACTIVE PROBLEMS. Spray home every 2-3 days to gain control. Once control is established, application frequency can be reduced. Apply anywhere a food or drink spill has occurred. When applying to fabrics and home surfaces, we recommend a test spray on a small, hidden area prior to full application.

FOR PREVENTION AND MAINTENANCE. Spray under sinks, in pantry, closets, bathroom, laundry room, cracks & crevices or anywhere insects reside. Spray around windows and doors. Repeat every four weeks or as needed.

FOR ANTS. Apply to ant trails and around doors, windows and wherever ants are entering the house. Spray directly anywhere a food or drink spill has occurred. Repeat as needed.

FOR FLYING INSECTS. For pests like wasps and hornets, turn nozzle to stream and spray generously.

FOR ROACHES, WATERBUGS AND PALMETTO BUGS. Spray baseboards and other hiding areas. When bugs are visible, spray directly. Once contacted, they'll crawl away & die.

COVERAGE. 32 oz. bottle treats up to 400 sq.ft.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

THE POWER OF CEDAR OIL. Cedar oil affects octopamine, which is essential to life for pheromone-driven pests (like fleas and ticks) as it is responsible for regulating heart rate, movement and behavior in insect pests. Cedar oil blocks the octopamine neurotransmitter receptors in pests, causing pests to be repelled from the area. When contacted, pests suffocate and die. Mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and beneficial, sight-driven insects are not affected by cedar oil because they do not have octopamine neurotransmitters.

INGREDIENTS: Active: 4.2% cedarwood oil, 2.2% sodium lauryl sulfate, 1.5% lemongrass oil, 0.1% sesame oil. Inert: 92% (water, polyglyceryl oleate, glycerin, sodium chloride, ethyl lactate, sodium citrate, citric acid, vitamin E). Total: 100.0%.
