TERRO Outdoor Ready-to-Use Liquid Ant Bait Killer and Trap - Kills Common Household Ants - 12 Bait Stations - T1804-3SR

The Terro outdoor disk bait stations are by far my favorite alongside all their other bait stations. They are easy to deploy, your hands are kept clean and dry and they draw ants very effectively. I bought 3 different Terro ant bait stations and experimented. The trick is to find some of the ants trails. I discovered if you give the ants a little taste it will lure them much quicker to the station so I tip the stations just slightly to cause a drop to come out and then it’s game on. I’d seen the ants in my gutters so down went bait. They are still coming to the station and I keep checking the liquid to make sure there is enough to continue serving up cocktails. I’ve deployed conservatively 20 bait stations and I haven’t seen those varmints in the house for quite some time. Most of the stations are outside and my inside ones are drawing no activity which is a big relief. The beauty of this stuff is even if a pet or child gets hold of it there aren’t going to be any fatalities. So I’ve got to say I am now a Terro believer and I give this company 5 stars. Obviously you can tell from my opening sentence the flat green out door bait station is my preferred one. I tried the flat green disks and was immediately surprised and impressed by their performance. I’ve uploaded a video of a conga line of these pests happily dining from one of the green disks on my back deck and you can see them tracking back and forth through the entry holes. After deploying the green disks I got the impression some of the bait stations may not be working so I slid the bait container up the support shafts they sit in. Wow was I surprised. The ants were drinking, swimming, drowning and hauling home booty to share with their compatriots. Good riddance and thank you for giving me back my life Terro.

I'm so far happy with this. I put this on my front and side porch and I was in shock to see that the ants are trying to build a nest around the openings. Hoping this helps with the ant problems that I have on my porch that once in a blue moon when they can find an entrance, invites themselves into my house. I live in a heavily wooded neighborhood so I keep a bug zapper on my front porch beside of my door as well and the ants are attracted to the dead bugs. It was easy to assemble. As you can see in the photo, it is pretty effective. My animals don't try to tamper with it. There is a significant reduction in how many ants are on my porch. Temps are hitting 100 with 60% humidity (for a feel of 110) and it is still doing it's job. Doesn't seem to have dried out. I would recommend.

First season that ants basically disappeared after using these. Worth purchasing.

I ordered 2 boxes with 4 Terro outdoor ant killer in each. While the product works well, I only received 3 out of 4 in one of the boxes! How can this issue be resolved? Otherwise, it is an effective product. It kills ants right away.

Every spring we get a ton of ants around all our doors and through the cracks. We’ve had professionals come over the years and have used the indoor traps from this company in the past. Since recently having a dog and a special needs child it always made me uneasy having them inside the house, so was excited to find these for outside the house . These traps have kept the ants outside , I’ve seen maybe only a few in my home since purchasing them. I would set them up in the place you want to keep them in before piercing it open, the bait did spill and I didn’t realize this until after bc it is clear . I would buy again , worked well even though I felt so bad seeing the whole colony working their butts off going back and forth from the trap .

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Terro just works…. Yes it kills ants, but it’s one of the safest to use around pets and young humans. Borax (soap) being the ingredient might cause some stomach issues, but they are temporary. Durability: This is my favorite design, because of the little ramps on the sides for ants to go up. Makes it very hard to spill as well. Kills bugs: Every year, this is the go-to. It attracts ants, they eat it, then take it back to their colony, and feed their ant buddies inside. This includes the Queen. Because it’s laced with sugar, it will ATTRACT ants to it, then after about 4-7 days… no more ants. Problem is, in another week or two the eggs in the colony will hatch, and there is a second wave. Keep it out there, keep it as close to their homes as you can find, and it will decimate them both above and below ground.
