TERRO Liquid Ant Killer ll T200

Ants can be a problem anywhere – in the home, at work and everywhere in between. To kill common household ants, place TERRO Liquid Ant Killer in areas where you've seen ant activity. As the bait circulates through the colony, it kills the ants you see and the ones you don't. Within a few days, you should see a significant decrease in the number of ants visiting the bait. Each 2 oz bottle offers plenty of power to eliminate your infestation. The more bait placements you use, the better!

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 quickly attracted to the sweet, sugary 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 in the beginning.Meanwhile, the active ingredient, Borax, is slowly interfering with the ant's digestive system, ultimately eliminating 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.

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.Simply tear the cardboard tiles from the packaging along the perforated lines. Then, apply drops of the liquid ant killer onto the smooth side of the tile. you may also substitute with small pieces of paper, cardboard or foil. Place the tiles on a flat surface near signs of ants. Place additional tiles anywhere they may enter your home. Once ants are controlled, replace the bait every 3 months to keep them from returning.
