Description
Ants are hard workers, and many times people see them marching across the patio, the garden or the driveway. Seeing a few ants often indicates that a larger colony is nearby. TERRO® Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stakes stop the problem at the source. These stakes kill ants outside so they can’t get inside and bring in problems, helping to rid the home of these pesky pests.
How Liquid Ant Bait Stakes Work
The active ingredient is borax, used in the bait to kill the ants. Borax disrupts ants’ digestive systems and leads to their end. The ants return the bait to their colony, transmitting and killing more ants. The bait is slow-acting so that when ants bring it back to a nest, the whole colony is killed.
How to UseLiquid Ant Bait Stakes
It’s easy to use TERRO® Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stakes. Just follow these steps:
- Find Ant Activity: Determine where you observe ants, such as trails or nests.
- Prepare the Stakes: Cut on the tab to open the bait station.
- Place the Stakes: Stick the stakes into the soil near the ant trails or nests, positioning the bait where the ants can reach it.
- Monitor the Bait: The clear window lets you see when the bait needs replacing and keeps the stakes full for optimal performance.
- Replace as Needed: Replace the stakes when they have been depleted or every 3 months to keep the home shielded from ants.
Safe and Effective
Although borax is nontoxic to humans and animals in small amounts, ensure that the bait stakes remain where a child or pet can’t reach them. This way , the bait is available only to ants. When used properly, the stakes provide an effective way to deal with ants outdoors.
Tips for Better Results
For the best results, consider these tips:
- Replace Regularly: Monitor the stakes regularly and replace them every 3 months when the bait in the stake is used up.
- Place Stakes Strategically: Place the stakes close to ant trails or nests to ensure that the ants find the bait.
- Monitor Ant Activity: Modify the number of stakes according to the amount of activity users are witnessing. There may be more stakes for more ants.
Safety Tips
While TERRO® Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stakes are safe when handled correctly, make sure to read and follow all precautions on the product label when applying the bait, and always keep the bait stations out of the reach of children and pets. Place them in locations where ants, but not pets or children, can reach them.
