Terro works. But all it is is borax and sugar. Easy to make yourself.

I own a pest control business and I recommend the liquid Terro bait all the time. The best bang for the buck in over the counter pest control.
The little domed traps suck in comparison. |

Put a drop of Terro on a piece or 2 of card, and place in their travel path. They will be lined up by the dozens like cows at a pond. In a couple of days they will stop showing up.

That was my thread a few days back. People recommended the Terro ant traps and they worked well! The first two I put out had a massive amount of ants come to them and within two days, the ants were gone.

Just had to put some out this morning. I like the liquid u drop on cardboard vs. the bait stations.

I use Terro to get rid of ants (they always come out in the spring). Once they find it they're climbing over each other to get to it and they gobble it up like rats in an Indian restaurant. Add a few more drops as needed and after a few days, no more ants.

I used the Terro traps which would leave some dead ants inside, but there were always more.
I had really good luck using Amdro granules around the house though. Ants inside we're gone after 2 days |

The bottle where you put down pools of it seems like it dries out too fast to work. I've also put it where they were but I hadn't seen them for a few days. In my experience the stuff lasts long enough that if they're still in the area, they find it before it has time to dry. If not, it usually means they're gone anyway. The real question is, how much do you need for one of these guys?

yep terro works.
Tried one of the other brands of liquid bait first... ants didn't touch it... was utterly worthless. Bought Terro and it did the trick. |

Mix one part each of Cornmeal, Sugar and Borax. attracts sugar ants and grease ants. It's the Borax that kills them. It should be pretty harmless to other animals and people

i use a mix of permethrin and acephate 97. kill them on contact and poisons the mound for longer term effects. mounds are dead within hours.

i was told there are basically 2 types of ants, those that eat sugar and those that eat protein. different baits are required for each. the sugar borax is usually good for house ants but fire ants and those in the yard generally ignore it from my experience.

Any recommendations for something to spray outside that won't harm livestock? Tired of getting bit all the time by fire ants at the hunting camp. Spray it around the perimeter. If you want to see dead bugs you can spray it around the inside. I just sprayed the inside of my garage and there are dead bugs all out there I need to sweep out. Think I bought it on Amazon. |
