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. 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
- Kills the ants you see and the ones you don’t
- Ready to use – set the bait, attract ants, and kill the colony
- Stay-fresh tab keeps liquid bait fresh until opened
- Snap-off design makes it easy to open – no scissors needed
- Use bait stations along baseboard, under appliances, on windowsills and wherever ants are numerous
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.
Place TERRO® Liquid Ant Baits near trails and other
locations where ants are numerous. It’s also a good idea to place bait
stations anywhere ants may try to enter your home. The compact size of
the bait stations makes them perfect for placement along baseboards, in
corners, on counters, under and behind appliances, and on windowsills.
The more bait placements, the better!
