The bait can be applied using applicator gun, you can add bait stations above to keep bait protected from weather, animals etc. Ants come into our living spaces looking for food and, once they find it, are difficult to get rid of.

Terro Liquid Ant Baits are effective, easy to use, widely available, relatively safe, and nearly unanimously recommended by homeowners. From location to location and species to species, many variables affect ant behavior, so we did not run any large-scale tests for efficacy. There are a wide variety of ways to manage an ant problem, but all of the experts we spoke to steered us toward using baits.

Ortho’s Orthene Fire Ant Killer mound bait uses indoxacarb but at a much lower concentration, so it’s good only for mound treatment and not as a yard-wide application. Formulated to destroy the whole colony, it consists of a sweet, sugary gel which worker ants feed on and take back to the nest to the Queen. Antmaster Ant Killer is not classified as a poison and with this unparalleled level of safety is the perfect ant bait to use around your property. Effective for up to one month, in the first instance change the bait every day until ant activity ceases (usually 7 to 10 days).

The insecticides in ant bait products are not well absorbed across the skin into the body, so getting some on the skin is not expected to cause body-wide effects. But it often does not happen until days or even weeks after placement and as I say, when examined from the side, it appears either flat or tilted up such that the liquid should never flow out. An ant bait contains a mixture of food and a slow-acting poison that worker ants—the ones you see out and about—collect and bring back to the colony to share. Indoxacarb also has the potential to cause methemoglobinemia, which interferes with red blood cells' ability to deliver oxygen to the body. It can be used in various indoor or outdoor situations and is attractive to sugar-feeding ant species.

Many bait products can be used indoors or outdoors including in food preparation areas; however, some are strictly for outdoor use. Ants and crawling insects can be unwelcome visitors to homes and gardens, but Nippon has the solution to controlling them as quickly as possible.

An effective dose is normally built up within the colony in 7-10 days, depending on the size of the colony and frequency of feeding.This blogger made and tested five different concoctions and concluded that “none of the home made Borax ant killers remedies were as effective as the Terro Ant Bait”. The T334 baits contain the same sweet syrup as our main pick does, so their overall effectiveness should be identical. This minimalist distribution combined with the exceptional foraging capabilities of fire ants makes it “unlikely that a bird or other non-target species would succumb to the effects of the toxin. We still haven’t quite mentally gotten over the fact that seeing a swarm of ants march into the trap and then back out is actually a good thing that turns them into very effective poison vectors, rather than some sort of trap-defying jailbreak.
