Around the perimeter of my entire house, I spaced them about 8 to 10 feet apart. I didn't see another ant for 1 to 2 days. It's possible that there were instructions for placement, but I didn't bother to look for them. That is an excellent question. If or when I need them again, I'll check the package.
This liquid ant bait comes in a tough, weatherproof stake casing that keeps it safe from the elements. The product will continue to function even if it rains. It is critical that the bait be placed in a non-flooded area.
No one wants to go to the store these days, so home delivery in 1 hour is the way to go. The price is worth it for two days, but I've looked and can't find these anywhere near me. I had no choice but to order them online.
Selected User Reviews For TERRO T1812 Outdoor Liquid Ant Killer Bait Stakes - 8 Traps
These suckers were all over the place: There are so many hills in my yard that my grass has stopped growing and my yard has turned into dirt land, as well as a TON of hills between bricks in our walkway and a few in our flower beds. I put these things out because I didn't want to deal with any chemicals at home, and all-natural products were failing me. After I put them out, I noticed a difference in activity within a week. They'd all vanished in three months. br>br>As others have mentioned, satellite colonies can grow in size as the main colony is attacked. What I did (and what worked for me) was to leave these out for a month, then get more and search for newly formed colonies before relocating the bait. br>br>Best of luck!.
When I was picking fruit from my trees, I was stung by Tiny Red Fire Ants, and I discovered I had them. After doing some research, I discovered that Fire Ants prefer protein-rich foods over sweets or grease, so I purchased three different Fire Ant products. When it comes to TRF Ants, Amdro is said to be the best. As a result, I disseminated it, and the TRF ants were unconcerned. They couldn't carry the granules because they were too big? My black ants, on the other hand, went berserk and ate all of the bait (I, too, had a black ant problem). For my indoor ant infestation, I always used Terro indoor traps, but they didn't work as well on the black ants this time. Anyway, after I spread Andro, the number of black ants dropped dramatically. However, there is no effect on the TRFants who are being targeted. I finally figured out that these Tiny Fire Ants prefer tree sap and prefer to live in trees rather than mounds in the dirt, and I tried the Sweet Amdro traps, but they ignored them. br>br>I then bought every Terro product, including liquid drops to put in beer caps in trees, drops in the crooks of trees, and twist ties to attach some of my indoor terro traps to the trees, among other things. I even purchased green plastic bait trap stakes, half of which were filled with granules and the other half with liquid bait. The best was when I tied the Outdoor staked Terro Traps in the crook of the trees. br>br>But by far the best was when I tied the Outdoor staked Terro Traps in the crook of the trees. (See image) Finally, the TRFant expressed an interest, which gives me hope that it will aid in the eradication of the TRFant. Make a suggestion: Cut the tab off the end of the bait with a sharp pruner or scissors. The instructions state that the tab should be snapped off, but most would only break off at the ends, not enough to open the bait. Cutting it either before or after placement will increase your chances of success. br>br>Terro, I appreciate it! I'll be placing additional orders.
Don't be fooled by the box's claim of "quick activation. " I tried twisting the tab to the right as shown on the package's back, but it wouldn't come off until I got some pliers. It sprayed ant poison all over my hands and into my slacks when it finally detached. It was nearly impossible to remove the tabs in the manner demonstrated without becoming drenched in ant poison. I tried three more bait traps and they all worked the same way, so I threw the rest away and ordered the Hot Shot traps, which have worked perfectly without the risk of "breaking off the "bait trap tab" and having ant poison spurt out on everything within a two-foot radius.
On occasion. As you can see in the picture, this bait was a hit with a lot of pesky ants. I believe my photograph depicts two different ant species at the same time. br>At first, I mistook the spike for a flower. Although the container appeared to be inexpensive, the ants discovered it and quickly vanished. br>It was a total success! Until a couple of weeks later, that is. The ants were unconcerned when I set out a second fresh trap. They didn't even notice the drop I threw in their path. They took a look at it and took a walk around it. According to what I've read, ants' requirements change throughout the year. They're not biting right now.
I noticed ants crawling around the baseboards of my house early this spring. As directed, I placed these around the outside of my house. I noticed dead ants near the baseboards of my house after only a few days. I haven't seen a single live ant in my house since I set the trap out months ago. Squirrels are drawn to them, despite the fact that they cannot eat them. I've seen the teeth marks on the little cartridges yards away from where I put them. So now, whenever I place them near my house's foundation, I sandwich the cartridges between two concrete blocks. So the squirrels can't get them, I put them on the foundation of my house.
It used to work really well. This is the first time I've purchased something on Amazon. I bought three boxes, and despite using them all, my house ant problems have not improved. They keep coming in and eating the bait, which they treat as if it were real food. Ants like it and eat it, but they never leave or leave only a small amount. What a dreadful enticement. I'm guessing it's a genuine Terro product, given how bad their quality is on Amazon right now. I'm very dissatisfied with the outcome! BUY IT ELSEWHERE IF YOU WANT IT!.
Place them as close to the edge of the building as possible. For a few weeks, they do draw a lot of ants, but then they fade away. ANTS, ANTS, ANTS, ANTS, ANTS I should be imprisoned for the ant genocide I just committed in my backyard; I'm feeling really evil right now.
Borax and sugar are the only ingredients. I attempted to make my own borax/sugar mixture, and while it did kill ants, it mostly made a mess by spilling over the little cups and other items I used. It's more convenient to buy prepackaged items and then refill with Torro's.
