Does it work on black ants outside? They seem to be walking right by it. Only on Day 1. Put it down yesterday.

I've only used this for black ants. They LOVE it.....at least mine do. I put that down and they come out of the hills in droves to pick it up and carry it away. Then the next day they're completely gone. I put this in the driveway and sidewalk cracks and I just don't get ants anymore.

I have had mine for a year now and it still works great! I have only had to use it one additional time since the original application. Haven't seen an ant.

Yes absolutely I had the worst ant problem I have ever seen when I moved into my new home. They moved in because of a drought in Texas. The first two days I did not see much of a difference and was about to write a bad review, but I had to go out of town, I left and when I came back the next week there were no more ants, not a single one, in fact it has been almost a year and I still haven't seen one inside or outside since. This stuff is amazing. Also my dog ate 2 of the yard baits we were worried he would get sick but he was perfectly fine that's a plus also.

I don't know. It works by cutting their exoskeleton which ants have. So may depend on if you can get them to travel through it.

I used it for small black ants. It took about 1 week and the ants were gone.

I've only used this product and have found that it does an amazing job. You will have to put up with hundreds of ants for a few hours as they all eat the bait, but in less than a day's time, there is usually not a trace. When it rains and the ground is wet, they may return, but just use the same procedure. This doesn't exactly answer your question, but it may help.

I think the product works well. Last Spring, most days I saw a couple carpenter ants here and a couple there - outside my house. And in a 1-week period - 3 inside my house (The ones inside my house might have come inside to forage for food because they just woke up from hibernating somewhere outside). I sprinkled about 1/2 bottle around the outside of my house and now I haven't seen any ants - not even the smaller black ones that are usually outside my house. Now that the ants are less of them - or gone, the spiders in the grass have multiplied - More spiders in my house.

M batch has worked fine. I did go through two of the tubes before I was ant free. Additionally, the colonies seemed to relocate once they figured out they weren't able to sustain the colony after I applied the bait. So I had to be vigilant about searching for active ant trails in the early evening and running a couple of beads of the bait. It took a good two to three weeks of putting down the bait every two or three days before we were ant free in the house. However, if you feel it's just not working I"m sure you could contact the manufacturer and request a refund.

Hi Chatita, Thanks for your question. In response, just like Stefan had been so kind to respond, the vast majority of ants will simply turn back from the moat and look for food elsewhere. Hope this helps, and I hope you have a blessed evening,Mark

I didn't try it w/fire ants-put a dab of this gel in the apartment once( 2/3 of one tube), all pesky roaches were gone in one week!! Our apt manager then bought the rest of our supply because nothing they used seemed to really work. On fire ants the stuff from Walmart w/a fire ant pic on it-the instructions say wet the granules after putting in and around the mound but I seem to get better luck not wetting it.....does Amazon sell fire ant killer?

Interesting. After a two or three days all the ants are gone. No dead bodies to speak of. Not many if any ants in the bait. I have two baits going today and expect the black ant trails to be gone tomorrow . So far the baits have worked.

Yes! I mainly use it for sugar ants. Let them take the bait back to their "nest"...meaning...you need to let them crawl around for a day after leaving the bait out without killing them. Once it's been out for a day or two you will notice...no more ants. Many months later you may notice a return, if it's a problem area but you'll have the Terro on hand!

I have used it successfully with those really small "sugar" and "ghost" ants that come in the house. It also worked on the larger ants going up the wall of my home toward the roof. I really bought too much--I still have quite a bit left and have only had to retreat 2-3 times since I bought it at least several years ago.

It does make the ants clear the mound . But I found they will burrow out other outlets, since their tunnels are numerous, you have to make sure you stay on them, and do this when the ground is dry ! Hope this helps

You bet. I have used this product on both the little red ants and the big black ones. I just dealt with a new onslaught from the other side of the yard (entering the house through some hidden crack in the foundation) this spring and honestly, they're gone.

I've had mine for about a year and it still works great. Just used some last night and the ants swarmed all over it but were gone this morning.

I didn't see any dead ants around. I think they brought the poison back to their formicary and killed the ants there. I put this in my apt for a week and the number of ants decrease remarkably. But I'm not sure whether the ants will come back later or not. It needs further observe to say it works well to kill all ants.
