@@guyantheman1 It wiped out the whole colony. If you have you a huge ant problem with multiple colonies you are dealing with millions of ants. You gotta buy more bait in bulk
Had a few straggling ants that kept re-appearing, so finally grabbed some of these. I liked their old baits better where there was a ramp for it to come down, now once you rip it off its up in the air so you have to drip it out or they have no way to easily get to it. Besides that, those 3 ants I kept seeing turned into about 200 in about an hour after putting this down, and was glad to find where they were coming from (the problem I couldn't find where they were). I moved the food closer to make the process faster and within a day they were all gone. I tried those plastic contained ones and they would just walk past them daily, these worked within an hour.
I remember having a literal infestation of ants in our previous apartment and we just couldn't figure where they were coming from. I used a bit of Tarro and in less than 5 days they not just disappeared, they never came back. I always recommend it
I've been living in this house I'm in now for about 8 years and never had an ant problem. Just within 13 hours, one bait was completely swarmed and completely astonished that they found it that quickly. I don't know if it's a good idea to do 2 baits at once, but hopefully they'll go away!
For others watching this, ignore the instructions that come with this product and just cut the top off with scissors at the neck. The design of this package is absolutely stupid if one follows the instructions. The top is supposed to "snap off" - well, it takes a whole lot of bending and twisting for it to finally break off - the seams of one packet were broken in the process, so it was a throwaway. On another packet when the top finally "broke" off the opening was pinched shut and it had to be opened with a toothpick - only because I noticed that it was pinched shut. Here's hoping that the product is better than the idiot package.
Yep I used scissors too, I found the "easy tear off tab" impossible to open. I think the original style was easier for the ants to get the "food" this new version kind of sucks, it seems difficult for the ants to get it.
It def works....the ants have woken up due to high temps for March, and we replaced all of our baits this week. Use the Liquid versions and get a little bit on a piece of cardboard or stiff paper like the vid, and place it near the main bait. Use scissors, not your fingers.
@@hustlindaddiy5194 it did! They are gone. Just found your channel. Now, I get notifications. Thx for checking in. I live in an RV full-time and can use all the hints I can get lol
I have a wood TV table near my desk. I saw a couple of ants on it, and then a few more over the next couple of days. I got some of these baits at Walmart and put it on the table. Within a few minutes, there were ants converging out of nowhere to the bait. I let the bait sit on the table for a few days. This happened in the latter part of 2000, and I've not seen an ant since then.
@@hustlindaddiy5194 it’s workin! I didn’t realize how quickly the bait dries up when you pour it out. They were walking on top of it for days before I realized I needed to distribute a bit more.
They been working for me but I still have a few stragglers who don't seem to be interested in it, even when poured out. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I am a pest control technician and ive been doing this for about 5 years and ant baits that are in the syringe work but you would have to make daily visits back to the house for it to work im about to start carrying this because it stays viable longer since the bait is in a container and this stuff seems to work
So they didn't go into the traps for me but they did swarm all the spots where's I squeezed it out onto cardboard. But only for half a day and now there ignoring it completely and I keep finding them in other areas again? Are they bored of it? Or do they know ...👀
all the videos show black ants, is it the same for red ants?does it make a difference?, is it actually a difference the type of ants? my issue are Red tiny ones, weird they leave no trail tho just a bunch from 20 to 50 at random areas
Ants: oh the liquid taste so good..it's yummy and sweet. let's bring the whole family to this freebee..later that nigh they went home and took a long drunken nap forever
Not a bad idea. If you buy the bottle just make sure you put it in a piece of paper or cardboard. The stuff is pretty sticky and clean up can be a challenge if it gets in the floor.
Unfortunately, I had the bad luck of renting a new place which the landlord didn’t mention an ant infestation, I was sceptical when I brought the product at first, but my God this stuff is like crack for ants. Definitely will recommend.
🔥🔥😳 I set out these traps and ants did come but word got out and many more came with beach chairs, umbrellas and beer. Does this mean I need to try a different bait, or maybe my ants are just smart Alec’s?🤔🤪
Thanks for the tips! I put a drop on a piece of paper next to the trap and they all went back and told their buddies 😏 there was a party and now there are none to be found!
Is it normal for some ants to avoid the bait after a day or two? The ants were all over the bait when I first put it out and the amount of ants did decrease a lot the day after, but now it seems like the few ants that appear either take the bait, just touch the bait quickly and leave, or avoid it completely. It's now day 3 since I put out the bait.
@@fotogrl7 find an ant trail and see if you can see where they’re coming from. Pour a little bit out of the container on top of their trail. They’ll see it, then they’ll get curious and eventually start drinking it to take it back to the colony. I’ve seen this bait in action. Put it wherever they’re going. If the ants don’t have a clear trail and they seem to randomly be all over the place then that means they haven’t found any food (that’s a good thing btw!). Also, don’t use this product right after it has rained. From what I understand they won’t be thirsty enough to take the bait right after it rains.
I got the Terro ..but it’s a squeeze bottle.. they give you some small squares size paper with a circle ⭕️ on the paper. the circle on the tab is the size of a dime.. it says to place here ⭕️ … they was eating my dog food out his bowl so I put 3 squares in the cabinet where they trail was.. they loved it a few drowned and was dead.. I seen them pick the dead ants up picked them up and took them with them why??? I put it on the paper in the morning then had to come back and replace around 4 hrs … I started 2 days ago this morning was the last day which is day 3 that I seen of them … last year I used this kind in the video first but it was hard to open but it still worked just fine.. I have a dog so I keep my bottom cabinets locked .. this saved my home for 2 years last year and this years … the ants will leave in about 3-4 days max … now I’m currently chasing flies and they ain’t small somebody help me 😂😂??? I hate flies What can I use that doesn’t smell bad ?? For flies??
Nope. Outside works as well. Just be mindful that when it rains you might not want to put them out. Terro also sells versions that you can place directly into your grass or garden with a stake included. Good luck!👍
Wait so if the ants see dead ants wouldn’t they alert the colony ? Also how about the pheromones? I read online that this takes about 2 days ? So does this means that you need to dispose of this after 2 days ?
Thanks for the video!! Didn't I should I have waited 'til they die, I saw some in it (I thought they were dead too), I took the plastic thing and the colony starting coming out of the thing and going up my hand, I was freaking out, I threw it in the toilet, I started flushing but I had to put my hand in the toilet to not let the thing go and it was a complete mess! I just put another one and now I'm spying at the colony getting interested, hopefully they'll die soon!
@@hustlindaddiy5194 ok thank you. I live in an apartment complex and was worried a lot more would come in and go beyond bait traps. But left 2 outside and a few inside by door where they’re coming in from
I have been using this for over a month and the ants seem very happy that I am spending money to feed them the only time they somewhat go away is when there is no food left as soon as I put more out they are back just as many as day one
used these in our kitchen because they were coming in and our of the outlets. theybawarned the bait for a couple days snd after 2 weeks I didn't see any in the kitchen so I cleaned up the bait. now I'm seeing 1 every day around the fire place I'm the living room. what gives ? will I have to bait the living room now too? I hate ants lol.
I bought the raid ones that say money back guarantee & they didn't do anything. The ants wont even touch them. My friend told me get these & I have a million ants eating this up like it's crack! I'm pretty sure I'm wiping out 3 colonies at once since I put them in 3 different rooms with ants . I feel a little bad but sorry little ants y'all gotta stay outside!
Yep. If you have the traps I would just leave them be until the ants stop coming. If you have the liquid I would put it on a piece of paper or cardboard to make clean up easier. Good luck!
My issue is the opening is too high. Why wouldn't they make these so the opening is level to where u set it? Ants go right around it because they dk they gotta crawl up it to get in. Ridiculous
I'm having the same problem. They're still coming out of the holes in the bathroom and such even after two weeks. I've added new baits as well to keep killing them off but I hope they're all killed soon.
Dude these are #1 and it’s not even close. They eradicate them over night unless it’s a huge colony that moved in but either way it will work even if it takes a couple days.
I’ve found if you keep them out for a few days that is generally all It takes. The ants to tend to come back time to time and I have to put them put again. Best of luck! Thanks for watching!
Can these be used on or near carpet? Mine seem to be coming out of the carpet :S are they able to carry some of it without losing it all on the fibers?
@@ccat8324 If it's your house I'd PERSONALLY rip the carpet out where they're coming from and then poison them with these traps. While this occurs take note of where they're coming from and going as well as anywhere else there's holes under the carpet. Fill in the holes with caulking or whatever works best after the colonies are dead. I'm not an expert so please take my advice with a grain of salt but I think the carpet may pose an issue. I doubt the carpet will remove all of the poison from the ants but it may make it less effective. I wish you luck with your ants and I hope you will wish me luck with mine. I've got scouts wandering around aimlessly so I'm going to be dealing with them before they get out of hand.
@@ccat8324 I would think so. Just be careful not to spill it as it’s pretty sticky. Also try to keep away from animals as I believe it has a sweet taste.
My mom had put a bait in our half bathroom that's connected to our room. There were already ants and we assumed they were coming up through the drain. Needless to say, after the trap was put down, they all quickly went for it. Definitely unsightly and gross to see em all in one spot... so I might have sprayed them with some of the Zevo stuff which killed all the ants also instantly.
@@danmcintyre7161 In fact it just wastes your money. Now the ant trap is sprayed with stuff the ants will hate AND they're dead so they won't be moving the poison back to the colony and queen.
This stuff is amazing.. I was running around the house with a vacuum cleaner sucking up lines... I got a few of these... ALL GONE, in 1 day or 2.... NO CLEAN UP, they just disappeared like MAGIC!!!! 10/10
