Can this be used as natural deterrent for ants?

It is so powerful that I cannot imagine anything tolerating it in it's pure form.

PLEASE NO NO NO!!!!! Kills the ants well and will not hurt pets. BUT NEVER USE IT ON THEM!

This product is for outdoor use only. If ants are present indoors, we recommend using our TERRO T300-2 2-Pack Liquid Ant BaitsOnce the ants have been eliminated indoors, this product can be used outdoors to kill other ants before they find their way in.

Not unless it is mixed with propylene glycol. You can buy it premixed or make your own. It must have honey, sugar or molasses to act as an attractant. Then, it has to be brushed on wood that has termite colony. I bought it to get rid of ants. With ants you only have to mix it with sugar and water.

While I don't know for sure my guess would be yes, it would control them. I moved to FL 5 months ago and had ants and sugar ants in the kitchen...horrible...I used this product and they are GONE. This is great stuff and worth trying.

Yes... I used it in my home to kill large black ants (placing a bead of optigard in window corners, molding edges and such) and they were gone within days. I then used it outdoors on a tree where a large colony of carpenter ants had been living (careful to put the bait in deep, where only the ants would get it and not hurt other wildlife) and within just a couple of days there was no more activity.

Sure you can. Just sprinkle a little on top of the ant hill and in 2 or 3 days they just disappear. Work like a charm.

Here in the upper dessert it deters them for awhile, but ants being ants, seem to return....maybe with hyper vigilance and a rigorous consistent schedule of application they will turn from the oak.....good luck!

I would say No. However the bait is thick enough that it would stick to the tree. It will attract the ants especially if you put it on the trail up or down the tree. It works great!

probably not, and there is no need. I've placed several pea-sized drops on a tree trunk that had an ant nest (ants were going up and down the tree constantly). The ants will find the gel. In my experience, after a couple days, the ants were gone

I'm glad you asked this question. I thought it would, but I had never tried it on ants. I learned something new when I checked the other 4 answers. I'm sorry I couldn't help you, but I'm glad you helped me. Thanx! Tim Drain.

Hello. I do not know the answer to this as I used it for trying to get rid of the ants in my lawn. It kept them at bay but unfortunately they still persist.

No, you would need a dissaplin training for that--this device does work on ants for me and also fleas--it keeps them away from my house and my animals!

Having worked in pest control quite a few years ago, I would say, 'No'. The ants I used this for 'ghost ants' are resistant to your average insect spray. This did however work fantastically on the ghost ants.

If you want to keep ants from getting into the meal worms, yes this ant trap would work. This trap is about 95% effective. I have seen, on rare occasion, ants making a raft out of their bodies and walking across the floating bodies to the other side.

I've never used it against fire ants or any ants specifically, but it ought to do the trick. This is some awesome stuff. I've mostly used it against Japanese beetles and fleas. Very effectively, mind you.

It seems like it would work with hanging it below the trap on the hook. The trap is great in stopping ants as long as you keep water in the cup/trap.
