11 best terro ant killer indoors

Product description

To kill common household ants, simply place TERRO Liquid Ant Baits stations near indoor areas where ants are spotted. Ants enter the trap, consume the liquid ant bait and return to the nest where they pass on the bait to the rest of the colony. TERRO Liquid Ant Baits are specifically formulated to allow worker ants to consume the product and survive long enough to carry the liquid back to the nest and deliver a dose to the rest of the colony . The liquid ant bait stations prevent the bait from drying out and provide the ants with a continuous supply of liquid, day and night. Monitor the baits regularly for activity, but do not interfere with the ants or baits. Replace with additional baits when the first set is depleted. Depending on the size of the ant infestation, complete control may take up to two weeks.

• Kills all common household ants
• Pre-filled, ready-to-use bait stations
• Patented design prevents bait from drying out
• Attracts ants fast
• Contains Borax
• Place baits near ant trails or where ants are numerous

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is the pricing so weird? It's actually 2x more in bulk! Did someone make a mistake? Sorry for the rhetorical question, silly vendor person
Answer:	It has to do with who the actual "seller" is. If you select a quantity of "1", in this case, it is "sold and fulfilled" by Amazon. If you select a quantity of "2" it is "sold" by another company while still being "fulfilled" by Amazon. Yes, both quantities are, as of this writing, "fulfilled" by Amazon but that just tells you that Amazon stores, packages, and ships both items(1 and 2 packs) even though there are, in reality, two different "sellers". If you click back and forth on the quantity selector you'll see the "sold by" name change. Look just under the price after you switch. The seller of the 2 pack sets the price whereas the seller of the 1 pack(Amazon) sets its own price. I'm sure Amazon buys the 1 pack in very large quantities and, therefore, can get a bigger discount, per piece, than the other "seller" can get, per piece, for the 2-pack.
Question:	How safe is this product in the kitchen? We have a few ants crawling around our kitchen sink and would like to place one of these bait stations on our kitchen counter. Bad idea? Thanks
Answer:	This is a generally safe product according to my research. Make sure to read the packaging and follow direction. (FOR INDOOR USE READ THE FOLLOWING) One lesson I learned the hard way: the sugary syrup is irresistible to ants, even though it is laced with poison. This means when you use Tarro, you're actually providing access to free food! The poison will work on the ants and it takes about 18-24 hours to kill them... but as you wait after 24 hours, Tarro syrup will attract other thriving colonies into your home. They'll follow the same rich trails laid behind by the previous colony and even scavenge on the carcases of the previously fallen colony. This cycle will continue, attracting ants from far away reaches and allowing them to setup massive colonies within your home. This is especially true with Argentine ants (available throughout the world), which form massive colonies with multiple queens - a trait unique to this type of ant, whereas others will battle for territory. So the lesson learned is simple... once the initial 1 or 2 swarms die down, remove all baits and all forms of food from open spaces in your home; patch up all openings in walls, baseboards, cracks around windows, etc; apply perimeter pesticide around your home; and look for signs of wandering ants in the next week. If you see more ants then you missed an opening and already have an established colony in your wall.... repeat!! Just don't leave out Tarro and keep replenishing, especially in the case of Argentine ants.
Question:	Is this safe to have around pets? I have a curious cat
Answer:	I'd say no. My cat knocked one of these over once and licked the syrup. She was fine but it wasn't a fun afternoon (trip to the vet, etc.). Terro sells a version of this that encloses the bait in plastic and has sticky squares to attach them to the floor, counter, or other surfaces. I use those instead now.
Question:	I have a baby in the house and I would like to use this product to kill ants in my house. Any precautions you suggest before I use this product
Answer:	The ant trails at my house sometimes go from the floor to the ceiling. I turn the bait so that the liquid will not run out and use Scotch tape to tape it to the wall next to the ant trail. I tape the bait high enough that babies and grand children cannot get to it. It usually takes two days for the ants to disappear. Then three days after they disappear, they return to the trap. Another two days and they disappear again. The second time they disappear is usually the last time I see them at that location.

TERRO Liquid Ant Baits

Ants can be a problem anywhere – in the home, at work and everywhere in between. To kill common household ants, place TERRO Liquid Ant Baits in areas where they attract foraging ants that take the bait back to the nest. As the bait circulates through the colony, it kills the ants you see and the ones you don’t. The new and improved snap-off tab makes the stations easy to use. To open the bait, hold the station vertically and twist the tab. This opens up the station and allows ants to access the bait. Place the entire station on a flat surface, keeping the ant bait inside the station. Plus, the closed bait stations prevent the bait from drying out to provide the ants with a continuous supply of liquid, day and night. Note: complete control may take up to two weeks.

How Liquid Ant Bait Works

Since this is a bait, initially you will see more ants – but don’t worry, this is a good thing. Why? As ants forage for food, they are easily attracted to the sweet, sugary liquid inside the bait stations. After finding the bait, worker ants consume it and leave behind a pheromone trail leading back to the colony. This trail lets other worker ants know where the newly discovered food supply is. This is why you will see more ants in the beginning.

Meanwhile, the active ingredient, Borax, is slowly interfering with the ant’s digestive system, ultimately killing it, but leaving enough time for the ant to go back and share the dose with the rest of the colony. This slow kill is necessary so that foraging ants can make several trips to the bait. The communal nature of an ant colony allows the bait to be spread to hundreds, if not thousands, of individual ants.

How to Use Liquid Ant Baits

TERRO Liquid Ant Baits are very easy to use. Before placing the bait stations, be sure to remove other sources of food, such as crumbs, sugar and grease spots to prevent attracting ants elsewhere. Do not place bait where you’ve already sprayed insecticides, as the pests may avoid the bait stations.

1. Hold the bait station firmly with bait pack tab facing up. Break off the tab being careful not to spill the bait.
2. Place the bait station label side up on a flat surface near signs of ants. Place additional bait stations anywhere they may enter your home. For best results, use all bait stations to ensure a sufficient supply for the ants.
3. Monitor placements regularly, but do not interfere with the pests or bait stations. Replace when bait is depleted. Complete control may take up to two weeks.
4. Once ants are controlled, replace the baits every 3 months to keep them from returning.

Product description

With TERRO Multi-Surface Liquid Ant Baits, you have the flexibility to place bait stations almost anywhere around your property. The answer lies in the convenient multi-surface application, which allows you to lay the bait stations flat or adhere them to other surfaces. Just use the included adhesive strips to attach the pre-filled, ready-to-use bait stations on walls, under cabinets and a variety of other locations. Not only will this allow you to get the baits as close to the ant activity as possible, but it will also help to keep the stations out of reach of children and pets. In addition, TERRO Multi-Surface Liquid Ant Baits feature a discreet, two-color design, which seamlessly blends in with the rest of your decor so you won’t even notice it’s there. Simply choose the color that matches the location best – either white or beige – then apply the adhesive strip to the opposite side. Liquid ant baits are specifically designed to kill all common household ants. However, since it’s a bait, they work slowly to allow worker ants to consume the product and survive long enough to carry the liquid back to the colony. The active ingredient slowly interferes with the ant’s digestive system, and eventually kills it. This ensures that you get rid of the ants you see as well as the ants you don’t see.

• Attracts and kills the household ants you see and the ants you don’t
• 4 Discreet Bait Stations, two color design blends in with your decor
• Adhesive strips attach ant baits to walls or under cabinets
• Worker ants carry and deliver a lethal dose to the rest of the colony
• Stay fresh twist tab keeps liquid bait fresh until opened

User questions & answers

Question:	I've been using it for a few weeks now, and it's full of ants (not sure if dead), but the steady stream of ants marching by continues. How long
Answer:	Each ant that consumes the bait will die within 24-48 hours, however, it can take a few days or weeks to control the entire colony, depending on its size. If Ants are continuing to come to the bait, we recommend to keep the stations down. You may also want to consider using a contact killer such as our spray, granules, or dust around the perimeter of the home.
Question:	Do this product kill carpenter ants
Answer:	We cannot recommend this product for carpenter ants.
Question:	Does the adhesive back remove easily? My cabinets and baseboards are new and don't want to damage
Answer:	i know from experience that placing on painted surfaces are fine (no damage) i never tried it on cabinets.
Question:	Should you use all four baits at once or is one okay if that seems to be all that's needed
Answer:	The most effective use of the bait containers is to place them where ant activity is the heaviest. If it’s confined to one area, one container...maybe two...should suffice.

TERRO ant killer

TERRO Liquid Ant Killer uses borax to kill the ants you see, as well as the ants you don’t see. It works by allowing the forager ants to consume the product and survive long enough to carry the sweet liquid back to the nest and deliver a dose to the rest of the colony. Over time, the bait kills the original ant and any ants that also consume it. Complete control may take two weeks.

To use this ant killing liquid, simply apply the product directly from the bottle onto the provided cardboard squares and place near indoor areas where ants are passing. Place TERRO Liquid Ant Killer near ant trails and other locations where they are numerous. Apply the baited cardboard tiles on the edges of sinks, tubs, windowsills, under food cabinets, along floors and baseboards and in corners.

How to Use TERRO Liquid Ant Killer

TERRO Liquid Ant Killer is very easy to use. Before placing the ant killer, be sure to remove other sources of food, such as crumbs, sugar and grease spots to prevent attracting them elsewhere. Do not place where you’ve already sprayed insecticides, as the pests may avoid the ant killer.

1. Tear the "Place TERRO Here" cardboard tiles from the packaging along the perforated lines. Then, apply drops of the liquid ant killer directly from the bottle onto the smooth side of the tile until they form a small puddle. You may also substitute with small pieces of paper, cardboard or foil.

2. Place the ant killer tiles on a flat surface near signs of target pests. Place additional tiles anywhere they may enter your home. The more bait placements, the better.

3. Monitor placements regularly, but do not interfere with the pests or bait while they are actively feeding on it. Add more liquid if it goes dry or add more tiles to ensure there's always a fresh supply for the ants.

How Ant Bait Works

TERRO ant bait works by attracting a large number of ants right away – but don’t worry, this is a good thing. As ants forage for food, they are easily attracted to the sweet liquid. After finding the bait, worker ants consume it and leave behind a pheromone trail leading back to the colony. This trail lets other worker ants know where the newly discovered food supply is. This is why you will see more ants at first, followed by a sharp drop off as the bait takes effect.

Meanwhile, the active ingredient, borax, is slowly interfering with each ant’s digestive system, ultimately killing them, but leaving enough time for the ants to go back and share the dose with the rest of the colony. This slow kill is necessary so that ants can make several trips to the bait, allowing you to get rid of the ants you see and the ants you don’t. Allow up to two weeks for the bait to take full effect.

User questions & answers

Question:	Have used terro with success until now. it took care of v. small light brown ones in my studio . black ones just little bigger won’t touch it
Answer:	I have used this on big ants outside and they love it just as much as the ghost ants. Not sure why your bigger ants won't touch it. sorry - no help with that questions.
Question:	I noticed that the liquid dries out or gets eaten up. when do i stop refilling the trap? how do i know the bait is killing the colony
Answer:	I read that after one day the drops need to be replenished. You know the bait is killing the colony when you don't see ants. It's important to put the drops along an ant trail or just outside a crack where they go.
Question:	How much of it is enough for killing ants in two floor building and both front and back yard
Answer:	Just keep filling up the little tiles and lay them out, more ants doesn’t necessarily mean so much more poison - you’re only trying to kill ONE ant, that’s the queen. The ants take the poison back to her - in turn the rest will die.
Question:	For our outside fire ant mounds, can we just put it into the ant hill
Answer:	This product attracted the ants but did not get rid of them. I tried to use this method for 3 months and it took another product to do the job. I used Ortho home defense 12 protection for my stubborn ant problem.

User questions & answers

Question:	would it work on sugar ants
Answer:	Yes, they work very well for millipedes. Unhappily, I have had a lot of the beasts in my basement over the years and I discovered that the Terro traps catch a disgusting collection of all insects, including millipedes.
Question:	Why do these things always overflow? i cut them properly, carefully place them on level surface+they overflow within a few hours
Answer:	If you are asking if the Terro can be used in the house - yes they can. They use boric acid to kill off the ants. The boric acid will not harm pets or people and they can also be placed in hidden areas to keep them out of reach of toddlers, etc. Once the ants find them, they will take the boric acid back to their nest where it will kill them off. It may take a couple of these to clear them out, depending on how big the nest is.
Question:	If I have old unopened traps, how long are they good for
Answer:	You snap each trap off from the rest of the set but must cut into each one to release the bait.
Question:	Can you use these with cats in the house - won't they find the liquid
Answer:	They have a new twist off packaging and the ants can't any longer get into to drink the elixir!

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I tell If they are empty? Unlike the indoor traps they are not clear
Answer:	The trap should be replaced every 3 months.
Question:	We haver grease eating ants. Is this the right product
Answer:	Terro says product is for "Attracting and killing all common household ants including Argentine ants, ghost ants, cornfield ants, pavement ants, acrobat ants, white footed ants, little black ants, odorous house ants and other sweet eating ants." Terro is a sweet bait; grease eating ants are attracted to protein. They might go for Terro; however if protein sources are still to be found in your house they will probably ignore the bait. I haven't had a problem with grease eating ants, but I understand that from folks who have that the Combat formula is better for attracting grease eating ants. You can also make your own baits for grease eaters by mixing boric acid (a white powder you can find in drugs stores or hardware stores) with peanut butter. Just make sure that the bait is out of reach of kids and animals (I have used boric acid/watermelon bait successfully with sweet-eating ants. However, it can only be used indoors, as sun dries it up and rain washes it away.) Good Luck!
Question:	Will this work on fire ants
Answer:	Yes absolutely I had the worst ant problem I have ever seen when I moved into my new home. They moved in because of a drought in Texas. The first two days I did not see much of a difference and was about to write a bad review, but I had to go out of town, I left and when I came back the next week there were no more ants, not a single one, in fact it has been almost a year and I still haven't seen one inside or outside since. This stuff is amazing. Also my dog ate 2 of the yard baits we were worried he would get sick but he was perfectly fine that's a plus also.
Question:	Will these work for carpenter ants
Answer:	Carpenter ants infest every tree on my property and I found them foraging inside the garage (very bad news). Mostly for the garage, but also because I have one very nice pin oak, I placed 2 of these just inside the garage door and at the base of the tree and within 1 month no more ants. So, I guess it works on carpenter ants. However, if you use the trap per the package instructions the carpenter ants are too large to enter. What you do instead is push down and rotate as instructed to puncture the internal pouch then very carefully lift the cup back up to its original position and snap it into place. This opens the trap all the way around an the carpenter ants can enter. I intend to buy more as it works on almost every ant on my property. And that's a lot of different types of ants. You might also try Bayer Advance 375A. Its a protein based poison and if the ants don't have a sweet tooth that day they go for it. The terro traps make excellent bait stations for the 375A once the liquid is gone.

TERRO Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits

When it comes to ants, baiting should be your first choice. Try TERRO Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stations. These large bait cups can actually be used inside or outside and work to eras the entire ant colony. Sweet eating, common household ants will run to the baits and carry the bait back to the Queen of the colony. Once the Queen has received the bait, the rest of the colony dies off.

Simple to Use

These pre-filled ready-to-use bait stations convenient and easy to install around your home or yard where ants have been observed. Stakes are included to secure the stations on various surfaces, including grass or gravel. Use without the stakes indoors in the home, basement, or garage as well!

What Type of Ants?

Luckily, most ants are sweet eating and love out bait. Our TERRO Liquid Ant Bait works with all common household ants including: Argentine ants, ghost ants, cornfield ants, pavement ants, acrobat ants, white footed ants, little black ants, odorous house ants, crazy ants, big headed ants and other sweet eating ants.

How it Works

When it comes to ants, always try to start with baiting. Unlike contact killers, which only target visible worker ants on your property, these baits include slow-acting ingredients that have a delayed effect on the ant's digestive system. This allows ants to feed and return to the colony where they can spread the bait to the young and queen. During this time, the number of ants may increase as they swarm to feed on the sweetened liquid before they begin disappearing altogether.

User questions & answers

Question:	good for boats
Answer:	Jeff...I am assuming you mean when you store a boat? I would think it would work but probably wouldn't be good long term, unless you respray it every few months. -L
Question:	What are the active ingredients
Answer:	The active ingredients are Pyrethrins and Deltamethrin.
Question:	What does it smell like
Answer:	It has a very strong, distinct smell. I can't describe it because there's nothing else like it. Whoever said it has no smell, should get their sniffer checked! :)
Question:	If I spray around the house will it prevent spiders or does it only work with direct contact. I want to prevent them from coming in as well
Answer:	Kelley,I buy a dozen cans at a time just so that I can spray around all doors, windows, and cable holes in interior/exterior walls. It knocks flies, bees, mosquitos, and any other insects out of the air instantly and even works against hornets. If you live to be 100 years old, I honestly don't believe you will find a better insect spray than TERRO. Lowe's discontinued it, and I started buying it from Amazon. No I can't find it on Amazon but was able to get it from The Home Depot for about $5.00 per can. Some joker was selling it on Amazon for $1.99 but was charging $6.94 per can for shipping. That's ridiculous, and I hope Amazon will start selling it again for $4.84. I hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is best way to clean the extra pesticide that escapes from the product
Answer:	I never thought about this. I simply wipe it up with a paper towel. When the area is cleaned any residue will be removed.
Question:	Is this really pet safe
Answer:	I have no large pets of my own (only a hamster), but we've had friends' dogs over and they've never shown interest in them when I had them out. I don't truly know as I didn't create the product, but I suspect it is based off Borax which is safe in humans and other mammals from what I've read, but please know, I am only a purchaser too.
Question:	Should they be placed label up or down
Answer:	Either way will work, however in my opinion I want the ants to take some bait and bring it back to their colony. I found with label down, the ants fall in and can't get out and die in the bait. Whereas label up, then can take some and share with other ants.
Question:	is the nozzle adjustable from stream to spray
Answer:	The nozzle can be turned on or off. It does not have a spray setting.
Question:	Could I use this to prevent or kill drywood termites
Answer:	This product is designed to kill termites on contact and continue killing for up to 4 months.
