UPDATE: Have not seen one single ant in my house since my last post. A good product for killing these sweet loving ants. ORIGINAL POST: Before buying this I started with a little sugar and boric acid (8 to 1) mix on the floor to find out if "my" ants were after sweets or fat and where the trail led to so I could place the bait close to their entry point. They went after the sugar so I bought the Terro. These ants are in the sweet eating phase and they just swarmed this stuff for about 5 days. After that, there seemed to be fewer and fewer until after about 2 weeks they were all gone. If you have, or think you have, a large colony be sure to get plenty and keep it fresh. I started with one pack but, added a second a couple days later and a third about 3 days after that so they had plenty of fresh goo. Someone said "...this stuff is very sticky..." and, I can attest to that! I put it on a piece of aluminum foil with one edge held down with painter's tape so they had easy access and I had easy clean up. The Terro did the rest. I haven't seen an ant on my kitchen sink for well over three weeks and, living in, currently very hot, Southern California, which is one giant ant hill, at a time when they seem to like to come in looking for water and cool air, that's wonderful. I know; this is going to really affect my Karma and I will probably be reincarnated as an ant. Also, my wife gives me sideways glances because of that sinister little laugh but, I just hate these little buggers for some reason and absolutely enjoy destroying large populations of them. Does that make me a bad person?

The ants come marching one by one... until Terro!

We are expecting weekend guests (this Friday) and I needed an expedient / non-toxic solution to address an ant problem unlike any I have had before in the Northern Virginia area this early in the season. Generally we get them in July or August...After seeing all of the positive reviews here on Amazon, I bought this product (with express shipping / same day on Monday) to address an influx of ants literally swarming around and in our cats' food dishes. This stuff works! I followed the advice of another reviewer and placed the cats' food bowls in a baking pan filled with water so that the ants were forced to eat the bait. (The cats are not happy with this arrangement, but, their food bowls are indeed ant free now). I bought the 3-pack (18 total) and put out 1 pack (6 bait trays) spaced evenly around the cats' dishes and under the futon where the ants' main path seems to be. Within ONE HOUR the ants were happily climbing into the "drive-though" containers. This morning, (Tuesday), the problem is **noticeably** reduced. Overall, there are less ants and they are continuing to "take the bait". So "3 hurrahs": 1) to the vendor for the EXTREMELY reasonable price; 2) to Amazon Prime same day shipping; and, 3) to Terro for an effective solution to these little "basteds"...

It's Ant War, and I Am WINNING

I apparently don't live in a house. I live in a giant block of Swiss cheese. We've been battling an intermittent ant problem ever since we moved in. The first one we managed to combat with gap filler, but I think there must have been an offshoot of that colony that moved and set up shop underneath the edge of my carpet where it meets the kitchen tile. One morning I walked into my kitchen to find a full-on ant orgy in progress in front of my fridge. It was downright Bacchanalian and scarred me for life. I'm glad my children weren't witness to such debauchery. I thought I found another gap where they might have been getting in, so I plugged it with more expanding foam, and the problem seem to go away for a bit, but they were just laying low, formulating their next plan of attack. Ants started trickling out from beneath the carpet edge again, only this time I was done with that namby pamby gap filler. It was time to break out the big guns. I Googled "Best Ant Bait" and the first thing it pulled up was this product page for the Terro (which is only one "r" short of Terror--coincidence? I think not). I only needed to read a few of the reviews and I was convinced. I grabbed a box from a local hardware store (sorry, Amazon, even with Prime shipping, my problem was far too vexing to wait even one more hour), set them in all the strategic rendezvous points. Then I waited. It took a couple hours. And then the purge began . . . I've used other ant baits before to limited success. Most just don't do a very good job at attracting the critters. It's like they're hip to the Raid jive. But the other reviews about this product do not lie. Never in my life have I seen the crack frenzy that soon began, when literally hundreds of ants started pouring into these traps. I could see them writhing around in orgasmic euphoria. I could hear them laughing and clinking their glasses and making awkward late night sexual propositions with complete strangers. It would be like if a giant chocolate cheesecake had fallen out of the sky right in front of me. I would probably act similarly, rolling around in it, gorging myself silly, completely unaware that God decided to save himself the trouble of flooding the planet to wipe out the human vermin and instead decided to rain down poison disguised as dessert. Noah 2.0, I am not. Admittedly, I do feel a bit like God right now. It's been fun watching this microcosm of the apocalypse unfold with an aloof Mona Lisa grin on my face. I am a terrible God, but I am benevolent. These creatures died thinking they were having the best day of their lives, and that's better than most of us get in this crazy world. Thank you, Terro. You are now my #1 choice for ant genocide. UPDATE: 24 hours later -- Only a few stragglers remain. They're staggering around helplessly, their bodies undoubtedly full of their dead, poisoned comrades. The bait traps that were once full of ants are now empty. I don't care to imagine what happened to all of them, but since I'm a writer, I probably will. I saw a few ants in my downstairs bathroom and set one of the traps in there. A few ants became a few hundred. More death throes are commencing. LOOK ON MY WORKS, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR!

looking like they were coming from somewhere inside the house as ...

Outstanding product. Unusually warm weather out this way for Feb and we were finding relatively large ants in our kitchen. Went online, saw the reviews for Terro and it sure and heck beat out anything by Raid or its ilk, ordered some, laid them down in the kitchen, within two days the ants were gone. Found a few of them inside the traps, but then on the whole didn't think very much about it. Here we are in March, this past Saturday, my son yells, "Dad, there's ants by the door!" Sure enough, inside the house there was a trail of ants running along the base of the door frame, looking like they were coming from somewhere inside the house as I couldn't pick up a trail of them outside. Got three of the Terro bait packs and placed them along the side of the door. I managed to accidentally spill some of the fluid in one of the packs on the floor where I was placing the bait pack, figured that was fine and I'd clean it off after the ants were gone. Within an hour or so what you see in the picture I've included with this was happening, there was a swarm of ants gathered around the spill and there were numerous ants inside all three of the packs that I had laid down. By that night there was maybe one or two ants I'd occasionally see, as of this writing the ants are gone. Bottom line, this stuff works, no question about it. Reasonable price, it's clear that thousands before me were happy with it, and I now absolutely validate that happiness. Don't mess with the stuff you normally get in the supermarket, Lowes or Home Depot, THIS is what you want if you're looking to have ants gone.

Patience pays off

I bought both the indoor and outdoor varieties of these - I live in Florida and my home and home office space (which is detached) both had problems with these obnoxious tiny, fast-moving ants. They sting, making it really annoying to be at my keyboard and suddenly get bitten all over my hands and arms. There's some important things to remember when using the Terro Liquid Ant Baits. First, yes, it does take days, and for me I left these out for weeks. Second, I looked at where the ants were coming and going and put this along their path in a place that my pets would not be able to get into, just to be safe. If you have small children, definitely be extremely careful as the liquid looks like honey. Third, it's really annoying that it doesn't *look like* the ants are taking the bait--I kept wanting to yell at them like a drill sergeant and shoo them into the packet...but rest assured, eventually they do. And eventually, they go away. Fourth and last--once the ants are gone, if you really want to minimize the chance of a return infestation, I leave these out and I also wipe down *everything* in the house that I can. In my home office that meant wiping down the underside of my desk, every inch of my keyboard tray, the floor, etc. Because ants lay down trails that other ants can follow. You want to wipe those out so the little jerks have to start all over if they get near your home. With luck, they'll get confused and annoyed and go away, but keep in mind, I was really fastidious about keeping food and drink out of the home office and they hung around just the same. My ants came back this year. Within a few days of laying these out again, they were gone once more. Highly recommended, but patience is a virtue.

My story is a sad tale to tell

My story is a sad tale to tell. For weeks I had been battling these fire ants that seemed to invade my room. At the beginning they were just inside my closet. Slowly but surely, they continued their onslaught and invaded my dirty laundry basket... and finally, my bed. I got bit quite ferociously by these demonic ants. I asked my apartment complex to spray. They did... It did not work. The ants now went into the kitchen and up to my brother's room. That is when I said ENOUGH. I went to the only place I could get help. AMAZON DOT COM! I found the reviews of this product quite interesting and decided I would give it a go. I couldn't wait, so I even paid for the $4 one day shipping even though I have Amazon Prime. Surely enough, the next day, trumpets sounded, angels came down from heaven while light shined on my package of hope and wonder. I got my Terro Liquid Ant baits and placed them on ant trails... Grabbed a bag of chips, and set my watch while I committed my crime. After a couple minutes, I saw one ant come in and start sucking at the drops. I laughed maniacally while enjoying my evil doing. After about 30 minutes, they were all over the bait. Then I set 4 more all over my apartment... I saw the difference right away! The ants were disappearing! I was so happy... until it hit me... I had just committed genocide against this poor colony of ants. I found that I missed their company at night on my bed, their company when I cooked, did a #2, dressed up, etc... I couldn't believe I had just killed them all. I kept picturing them eating happily, then having a stomach ache, then feeling their insides turn inside out and slowly die. All of those poor tiny creatures, gone! Soon, the atrocity of my crime was too much on my shoulders. Alcohol was my salvation, one drink turned into one bottle, then bottles, then just plain pain! My life has never been the same afterwards.... Anyways, going back to the review of this product. If you are looking to wreck havoc, mayhem, pain and misery on a colony on ants, then this product will work great for you! It might work too well...

I won the battle!

Worked well when ants managed to find their way up the wall to the second story of the house, under the deck door and into the kitchen trash can. One, probably a scout ant, even tried to watch Netflix with me on the couch. Suffice it to say I did not like the uninvited visitors. A lot of options went through my head: 1) Don’t keep food in the trash can (my dad’s recommendation) 2) Try to seal the deck door better - no ant sized spaces 3) Adopt an animal that eats ants 4) Move 5) Declare war I decided the last option was the most feasible. After a few Amazon clicks, and days awaiting the ammunition, the battle began. Day 1 - The troops held strong Day 2 - Still strong, but definitely moving slower Day 3 - Delerium kicked in. The troops were scattered and uncoordinated. Day 4,5 - Even more delirium and a significant amount of troops “retreated” Day 6 - Only the strongest and bravest troops remained Day 7 - One lone soilder. I took pity on him and gave him an honorable funeral. They have not tried to attack since. Do I feel bad? A little... but they started it.

One of the best things I have ever bought!!!

With the onset of really hot weather, the ants decided to try my kitchen as a refreshment counter. Having used several other products only to have the ants return, I was dreading the idea and expense of hiring professional pest control for occasional but virulent ant attacks. Then I saw this product on Amazon and decided to give it a try. If I hadn't used it myself, I wouldn't believe it. I put out the bait in the afternoon and the ants were dead and disappearing in less than 24 hours. Since the old trap had dead ants in it, it didn't look very appetizing in the kitchen so I replaced it with a new one. NO MORE ANTS!!! This product is wonderful and cost-effective. I have several more unused ant traps just waiting for the little buggers to strike again!!

Can't hurt to try if ants are a problem in your house.

This stuff works. Had a small ant problem that started getting worse every day-- when I found one on my shirt one day I knew I had to do something. I did some googling and bought this ant bait and put one pack out for the night, I knew where they might be coming from because my cat started following some of them around and staring at a particular corner of my house. There were maybe 30 dead ants a foot away from the poison the next morning. I left the ants because I read somewhere that ants take their dead back to their colony, and by the afternoon they were all gone. My husband put another one out for good measure. I'll leave them out for the rest of the week but I haven't seen an ant in the last 2 days now. I felt a tinge of guilt, but I just can't have ants crawling all over the place, they really do get everywhere if you let them.

Works great~simple tip to keep it from spilling

So I am using these in my office (which is a shed in the backyard) and I spend half the summer I infested with ants. They have started early this year is appears. This really does draw them (as I am sure you have figured out by the other posts but as you might have also read, they can leak. So here is how I keep them from leaking. There is the obvious put them at a slight angle but the snap off top itself does not have to be completely off for ants to enter. I cut mine half way and they can get in and out (I watched this with glee for half hour) and in areas where that is not entirely feasible a small piece of cardboard make into like a little tent (also provides a ramp in hahaha! So sadistic!) that lifts the front edge a tiny bit. The key is tiny bit. Just enough to sent the tiniest bit of the liquid backwards. Now of course they will leak if kicked of shifted so make sure put to them in a location where they are out of reach to things other than ants. On a final note, do not expect mess extermination in a few minutes (or hours) they take this back to the nest with them and it takes time. So have some patience but persistence will pay off. And of course make sure the ants do not have an alternative source of food.
