TERRO Liquid Ant Killer

This is actually a sign the product is working. The sweet formula is designed to attract foragers, so you will see more activity initially as they discover the bait and begin carrying it back to the colony.

While you may see immediate interest from ants, complete colony elimination typically takes up to two weeks. It is important to leave the bait undisturbed during this time so the worker ants can finish transporting the solution to the nest.

The product contains borax and should be placed in areas inaccessible to children and pets. Always follow the label instructions and place the bait stations in out-of-the-way spots like under cabinets or along baseboards.

No, this specific liquid formula is designed exclusively for indoor use. Outdoor conditions can dilute the bait or attract non-target insects, making it ineffective for household ant control.

You should leave the bait stations in place as long as you see ant activity. If the liquid dries out or the station becomes empty, you can replace it with a fresh one to ensure the colony continues to feed until the infestation is fully resolved.
