Terro Ant Killer II Liquid Baits

One of the most common household pests, ants can be difficult to eliminate once they find a way inside. TERRO® Ant Killer II Liquid Baits are an effective way to control common household ants, both indoors and outdoors. 

This product comes as mess-free, pre-filled bait stations that are ready to use and kill the ants people see (even the ants that people don’t see in the colony).

How It Works

The liquid in each station is a proven borax-based formula. Ants are naturally attracted to the sweet liquid and will immediately start feeding. The bait is delayed-kill, allowing the ants to take it back to the nest and share it with other ants, including the queen. The whole colony, not just the ants that are crawling around the house, is targeted by this process.

The number of ants might seem like it’s increasing at first. That is a good sign — it means the ants are accepting the bait. After a few days, activity begins to decline and most infestations are gone within two weeks.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Using TERRO® Ant Killer II is simple:

1. Find ant activity: Search for trails, entry points or where you frequently see ants.
2. Open the bait station: Each station has easy access to open. Usually, the station will have a snap-off tab.
3. Place the bait: Put the stations in the places where ants are often seen, like on baseboards, windowsills, counters or outside near the perimeter of the building.
4. Leave them alone: Do not disturb the ants while they feed. They need time to carry the bait home.
5. Replace when needed: When the bait is gone or ants lose interest in it, set out a fresh station.

For best results, stations can be replaced every few months to prevent new infestations from beginning.

Applications

These bait stations are flexible and can be used wherever users need them:

• Indoors: Use in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry room or wherever ants are observed.
• Outdoors: Place along foundations, patios, and along outdoor walkways, and around doors and windows where ants may gain access to the house.
• High Traffic Areas: Place stations anywhere ants are seen for the most effective control.

Tips for Best Results

For the best results using TERRO® Ant Killer II Liquid Baits:

• Remove Other Food Sources: Wipe up crumbs, spills, and scraps of food that will tempt ants away from the bait and towards more available food sources.
• Use Multiple Stations: Ants may be seen in more than one area. Placing a few bait stations extends more coverage and provides faster colony kill off.
• Be Patient: It could take a few days to a week for the product to work before results are realized, and up to 2 weeks for total elimination of the colony.
• Safety Precautions: Keep bait stations away from children and pets. Never deviate from the label directions for safe usage.

Summary

TERRO® Ant Killer II Liquid Baits are an ideal choice when people see ants and need to get rid of them. Its pre-filled and ready-to-use bait station design is clean and effective, and guaranteed to work, ensuring no return of the pests, and keeping them away from the home. Attacking ants at their source is the only way to kill an entire colony.
