Terro Ant Bait Stations

The bait uses a slow-acting formula that sweet-feeding ants are attracted to. They consume the liquid, carry it back to the nest, and share it with the queen and other workers, which eventually eliminates the entire colony rather than just the ants you see.

Yes, these stations are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. When placing them outside, look for areas where you see ant trails, such as near foundations or entry points, but try to keep them in protected spots to prevent them from being disturbed.

It is common to see an increase in ant activity around the bait stations initially. This is a good sign, as it means the ants have found the bait and are actively transporting it back to their nest.

The enclosed design helps keep the liquid bait fresh and prevents it from drying out quickly. While the shelf life of an unopened package is three years, once you activate and place a station, it should remain effective until the bait is consumed or begins to dry out, depending on the environment.

The stations are enclosed, which minimizes direct contact with the bait. However, they should always be placed in areas that are inaccessible to children and pets, as the active ingredient is a pesticide.

These stations are specifically formulated for sweet-feeding ants. If you are dealing with grease-feeding or protein-feeding ants, this bait may not be effective, as they are looking for different food sources.
