TERRO PreFilled Liquid Ant Killer II Baits, 3-Packs of 6 Baits Each

I would give this 10 stars if I could. It saved me from calling an exterminator. Monday PM: Came home from work to find about 20 or 25 carpenter ants swarming my kitchen counter because I'd mistakenly left a small amount of sugar water (for hummingbird feeder) on the counter. I reined in my impulse to kill them all, ASAP, and instead put out some old Terro baits that had been sitting under the kitchen sink for probably a few years and been forgotten. They were unopened, but had leaked onto the cardboard packaging. I put 4 of them out anyway (way more than what was needed.). The ants began feeding from them very quickly and I left them alone overnight. (I did also see for the first time where the ants had come in, from 2 tiny holes they drilled through trim in a corner above the back kitchen door. Tuesday AM: Got up to still see ants around the baits, but fewer in number. Left them alone and went to work. Tuesday PM: No ants seen when I got home. What was even better was this. About a week or so prior, I had begun hearing a crinkly sound under the window of my upstairs bathroom, and I was pretty sure there was a carpenter ant nest there since a few years earlier I'd noticed some dead insect parts that fell through the ceiling of my sunroom, which is directly below that upstairs bathroom. I had caulked a crack but done nothing else. (Me bad.) Anyway, I was going to call an exterminator and envisioned them drilling holes through the wallpaper in the bathroom to dust the ants. But after I left the ant baits in the kitchen, the crinkly noise I'd been hearing upstairs completely stopped! Evidently, the ants had been traveling from the upstairs bathroom down to the kitchen area. This might explain why I could not find any ant trails coming into the house from outside...they were already inside. Wed: No ants seen, day or night. Kept the traps in place. Thurs AM: I did see one single carpenter ant, crawling very slowly in the direction of the little entry holes they drilled above the kitchen door. I am hoping it consumed some of the poison and was going to share it with any remaining survivors. This stuff works great I was so amazed it not only dealt with my kitchen ant problem very quickly, but also ants migrating from my bathroom. It saved me a lot of money. My only quibble is that the stuff does leak from even a sealed container, for some reason. I would recommend placing the baits on small index cards or just a piece of paper to catch any possible leakage, and to store the entire package in a cardboard box, as a precaution. UPDATE June 2018: 1-2 weeks after doing the original bait and killing the bulk of the nest, I am still finding dead or dying ants around my house..interestingly, not where i put the bait. Apparently these are leftover ants. I'm glad they're being killed, but it's a pain find dead ants around every day and since my cat has been known to eat insects, dead or alive, I have to pick them up quickly before the cat does. I have also noticed a few perfectly healthy looking ants in the house that show no interest in the bait, even when i put it near them. So that's a little discouraging. On the whole still satisfied with Terro performance even if it hasn't been 100%.

These bait traps are really good. Just snip the tip and put the trap in the ant line. Within a couple of days, the ants disappear. I also used their outside pellets and I am seeing immediate results. You do have to reapply after a healthy rain.It took me about 20 minutes to use the shaker bag around the perimeter of my house. To do your entire lawn, I recommend a seed spreader, if you do not want to use their shake bag for ease of use. The price is great, and pet friendly too

The Terro PreFilled Liquid Ant Killer II Baits work incredibly well! Within just a day or two, I noticed a huge reduction in ants, and after a week they were completely gone. The pre-filled design makes them super easy to use with no mess. Getting 3 packs of 6 baits each is a great value for the price, and I still have extras on hand for future use. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with ant problems!

works great. but a bit tedious to clean up if you spill any of the syrup because it's sticky and then it hardens.

Ants love it. I had a line of ants coming in, had to place multiple traps because they kept filling up. Worked quick, after a few days, no more ants.

Like clockwork, ants arrive in my kitchen about the same time as daffodils bloom my garden. These are small black chemical ants—the kind that smell like an acrid chemical when squashed. Time for the Terro! It really works! Not fast, mind you. One must wait for ants to imbibe and then tell the rest of the colony about their find. The ants can’t seem to get enough of this stuff. They really love it. They then take it back to their colony for total destruction. The Ants are gone for the entire summer with just one treatment. Easy to use as well. I place one container at the bottom of my kitchen trash can, then insert the plastic garbage bag. The ants never make it into my garbage—they get hijacked by the Terro. Fantastic product.

Best ant control ever!

We have now used these at three different homes and had 100% success every time. At our last house, we had a TON of ants somehow coming into a corner on the floor and getting into our dog's food bowl. We put down about three of these traps across the area, saw a quick burst of more ants, then within two days NO more ants. After wiping down the area with Clorox wipes we were able to put our dog's food back down and had no more issues the whole season. When we sold our house we moved into a rental home where we quickly discovered an ant issue behind the sink. Obviously the landlord basically told us "too bad" so we turned to these trusty devices again. We used two this time since it was a smaller area and again, after a small burst of more ants, the problem disappeared within a day. We lived there for two more months and never saw another ant inside. This week we moved into our new house and lo and behold, there were a few ants on the kitchen counter. Knowing what to do now, I put out one of these--just one this time since it was such a small area--and it all resolved WITHIN ONE DAY. I put it out in the morning, ants swarmed it during the late morning and early afternoon, less and less through the late afternoon, then by evening there were none in sight other than the dead ones in the bait. I really can't recommend these enough. My only advice is to place them up against a wall or something of the like so that the ants can crawl up and get into the bait easily. Also worth noting that this pack is a great deal, because all three of these instances used the same pack that I bought in May of 2019-- I just used one from that same pack in August of 2020 and it still worked like a charm. Great to have on hand.

Not working

all good
