TERRO Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait StakesWith TERRO Liquid Ant Bait Stakes, you can stop your ant problem at the source. The bait stakes target ants outdoors before they can come inside. To kill common household ants, place stakes in areas where you’ve seen ant activity. This will attract foraging ants so they can 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. Within a few days, you should see a significant decrease in the number of ants visiting the bait.
How Liquid Ant Bait WorksSince 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 quickly 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 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 eliminating 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.
Easy to UseFor your convenience, TERRO Liquid Ant Bait Stakes are easy to use. Simply cut the tab to open the bait station and insert the stake in the ground. Place the stakes in outdoor areas close to where ants are entering your home, or where you see ant nests or ant trails. Be sure to leave the ant baits undisturbed while the ants are actively feeding on it. Once ants are controlled, replace the baits every 3 months to keep them from returning.
