I had the same problem, but I left it alone and after a couple of days the ants were gone. I wrote a negative review based on first impression, and I feel bad about that. Good luck.

The Amdro powder is the best. You sprinkle it in a circle around the hole, about 4 inches back, they take it in, and usually, there are NO ants by the next morning. There may be a lot of dead ones around the hole, and you can bet that there is quite a few, like all, in the hole. Rake over the hole and you are done. I have used it several times without fail. I like to sit there and watch them start to pick up the pieces and take them in. Then, I know that they are finished.

Did you set the traps on the trails the ants usually walk? Scout ants are the first to come out and they set out a mapping system for other ants to follow. Try cleaning all the surfaces the ants have gone over so they have to send out new scouts, which would hopefully go directly to the traps. Also, these traps work best for carpenter ants I have found.

I put it out but I never noticed it. I also use the the Tarro liquid and I do see the ants gather around this quite a bit

If you have an old ant trap, just squirt a little in there, or a plastic tube of some sort. I usually just squirt a little around on the ground, where I see the ant trail which is up by my house. I find that this product is pretty safe around kids and animals. I have cats, dogs and grandchildren who are outside all the time. This ant bait is like gold, very little can,go along way. You'll see the ants swarming to the bait, but leave them alone. You want them to be able to take it back to their nest to kill them. Within a day or two they will be dead and gone.

We had carpenter ants. I tried every thing and nothing worked. I then purchased Maxforce ant bait. The ants are gone. Just stick the up on the wall or floor and let it work. You do not have to put them in direct line of an ant trail. I put my in the area of where I saw the ants. It did take about two weeks before they were all gone.

Carpenter ants are a pain!. I use a sugar and borax mixture to kill the whole lot of them works better than anything else I've tried.good luck!

If the ants are any larger than a very small gnat, the net will pick them up. Smaller than that, and some of them might pass through, but most of them would likely still be collected.

They claim 1-3 months, mine lasted more about 3 months...Once they started dying the ants would bury the dead in the corner or bring them up to the top! Pretty cool!

I had ants inside and sprayed outside and they went away. As long as it doesn't pour down the day you put it down it shouldn't matter. Reapply every 3 months.

I do not have problems. Put water in the small middle cup, this should help with ants. To prevent bees, make sure the feeder lid does not have any spilled sugar on it at all.

I'm not sure about that. I haven't had much problem with ants, though. Wish I could give you more information.

Use responsibly. Only put a tiny amount exactly where you know the ants are, add bits as they eat it, then clean up when the ants disappear, usually a few hours later. I've used this on small red ants, small black ants, and large black ants here in the mid-atlantic region.

I bring my bowls inside to clean them regularly and have never found an ant inside any of them. If you don't want to bring them inside, you can always take a bucket of hot, soapy water outside and clean them there.

I wouldn't recommend buying this product as it did not work for me at all. My problem was ants though and I used the following product. Not sure if it would help you or not. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Q3QQNC/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_13

I've had some problems, mainly ants, and resorted to a Trap-It ant trap (in red) which hold about 3/4 cup water, as the ant moat installed in the feeder is so small it dries out too quickly. There's times there's been wasps but - they get a drink and leave. Really, it may be that I got some of the solution on the outside or the like, but it's not a big problems. It's those ants.

We were told ants like to search for their food. In other words, if you put it directly in their path, they will avoid it. We put ours on the opposite corner of the house that our infestation was. It seemed to work. I guess we will have to wait for spring to see for sure.

Timidity is to be used for outside it will leave a residual that they will walk over & take it back to the colony .if you had treated the area & it rained you will need to re- treat the area.If you see were the ants are going to the inside of your house spot spray that areas.I hope this will help

Yes, once they find the ant bait they will lay a trail for other ants to follow. Soon you should have a swarm of ants on the ant trap. Make sure the trap is in a spot which the ants are traversing by.
