Ant Killer Plus

I picked up the TERRO Ant Killer Plus Multi-Purpose, and honestly, this thing is weirdly satisfying to use. The shake-and-go bag is genius — you literally grab it, flip the spout, and sprinkle it around like you’re seasoning a giant backyard casserole. No scoops, no funnels, and best of all, no touching the actual insect killer. My hands stayed clean, my dignity stayed intact. Living in the Seattle area during winter, I was worried the constant rain would wash everything away in five minutes (like it does with my driveway chalk art), but surprisingly, this stuff doesn’t disappear immediately. It actually stays put long enough to do its job. Ants and other little invaders got the message pretty quickly. After applying it around the perimeter of the house, activity dropped off fast — like they read the eviction notice and politely moved out. Super convenient, effective, and perfect for our wet PNW weather. If you want something easy to use that doesn’t turn into ant soup the moment it drizzles, this is the one.

This worked on three anthills of red biting “crazy” ants in Arizona in sandy soil. I applied directly to the anthill following the instructions of 2 tablespoons and watered lightly and they were gone by the end of the day. I’ve read a lot of reviews where it didn’t work and I think it just depends on the ants that you have. It smells pretty awful so I think it’s best for use outside.

For the money this stuff works awesome. One application is all it takes and even Texas fire ants are wiped out.

great product, good price, works pretty good if applied correctly, used a lot of different brands, this one gets the job done faster, read instructions

Has helped tremendously with ant problem! Love that it’s a shaker bag, which makes it easy to use. Fast shipping!

I tried this product to control fire ants in my yard, and it definitely kills bugs where the granules are applied. The bag capacity is generous, and since it’s a dry product, there is no leakage or messiness at all. It’s easy to pour, and the granules stay exactly where you put them, which also makes the ease of cleaning excellent - there’s nothing to wipe or wash afterward. In terms of durability, the product lasts a long time because you only need a small amount for each area. The only downside is that the ants don’t completely go away. They leave the treated spot, but they simply move a short distance and build a new nest nearby. So it works, but it doesn’t eliminate the problem fully. Overall, it’s helpful for reducing ants in a specific area, but be aware that they may relocate instead of disappearing completely.

We have sandy soil at our lake cabin and often find large densities of ant hills along our cabin foundation. TO mitigate getting ants inside, we sprinkle the Terro Ant Killer Plus around as a three-foot buffer. This product doesn't smell but is visible in the sand. Overall, application is easy with the handle and setup and is highly effective. This is a dry granule that doesn't need any dry time. Overall, very happy with the product

Works good on the ants
