I bought the ant bait station and they don't work...do you just put them out or do you have to activate it somehow? No response from company

I'm no ant expert, but I had the same thing happen to me. The ants just went around them. I left them out anyway, and after a few days, they started to go into the bait traps. A few days after that, no more ants. I don't know if there's human scent on them from handling them or what. Maybe you can try putting a tiny amount of something ants like (sugar, e.g.) in or on the traps just to get them on or into them.

Sorry about last post. If this is the solid trap, there is no plug in it, just remove from box and set out. I also got the liquid traps and there is a plug in it. They bothe worked for me

There is a plug in the trap that you must remove before you set the bait out. Just pull on it,carefull not to damage the bait, once out, set the bait where you want tit. It worked for me

You just have to set them out. Mine work great. It takes a couple days. It doesnt kill the ants that come to eat it. They take the food back to the queen, she eats it and dies. Then once the queen dies, the rest of the colony will die out also.

Run it under water for a second or two to activate it and lay it on top of newspaper or something so that the gooey stuff doesn't get all over your countertop.

I received "FC ANT KILLER Bait Gel". I used it with "sweet ants" (those teeny tiny ones) and found it did not help much. I had much more luck with a bottle of Terro Ant Killer, placed on cardboard and replaced twice daily. They swarmed the Terro but never really touched the gel. Was disappointed in my results. I'm going to try both again as I am now finding Carpenters around.

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.

You use dry ice in the middle of the trap to attract bed bugs. I don't know what you would use to attract ants. Some kind of food, I guess. First you would need to catch some ants, put them in the trap, and see if the traps holds them in. If it does, yes, you could catch ants in the trap and then set them free outside.

You need another device. This is an ANT+ transmitter that has no memory of its own, so your device must be ANT+ compatible.

Some question. Where are you putting it? They went crazy for it when i put it out! You have to put it where the ants are coming out of and i doubt it will work if you are putting it outside. Your question comes with many other questions. For me, it was super effective because i followed the directions

Some accidentally get "stuck" in the bait and cannot get out no matter how hard they try. Not to worry, many others circle the bait puddles you put out and gorge on it and then they all go away to die. I'll see 50 ants around those puddles I put on paper or cardboard and after 24 hours they are gone. Once the puddles get hard they are not interested anymore.

yo. dont waste your money- i put this bait out ants wouldnt get near it and when i put them on it they would run for cover your best bet is to mix 0ne half cup borax soap and one cup sugar this will do the trick good luck!!!!!!

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

It creates a barrier. Spray the perimeter of your home. There is not bait. Not sure if this is ideal for ants. Need to check the label.

FC Ant Killer is what I used. The add for it does in fact identify carpenter ants as one of the targeted species. I was getting some ants inside so I did some baiting indoors. However I noticed when I left my grill cover on the raised wood deck for a few days there were a number of carpenter ants hiding under it when I lifted it up. I treated that area and squirt some on the ground through the deck slats and recovered the area with the grill cover for 3 days (treating one additional time). Ants have disappeared.

Not sure I have ever seen crazy ants...but pharoah yes. They are persistent. I usually double team with the baits as well. Some take to the gel, some the baits. But both products work great. You just have to be patient, put it in their path and leave them to it. They will take it back to the nest and kill off the rest as well. Sometimes same day, some trails a few days. Hope this helps.

Be sure to read directions on pkg. first. I have 3 cats, so I put them under the stove and under the fridge. Ants were so bad that I had to put my cats food dishes in baking dishes full of water to keep the ants out of their food. I put 2 under the fridge and same under the stove. Within 2 days the ants had dropped off significantly, but over the following days there were some stragglers, so I put another trap under each appliance. I was able to take my cats dishes out of the water and just set them on the floor and no ants. I love them and will be replacing them as directed and hopefully not sooner. 5 stars. Good luck.

I live in a very buggy area right now and so far it really has not attracted extra bugs. But then again it's in close proximity to the cat box. I'll just say I haven't noticed any bugs being attracted to the freshener, but I can't say that's not because the ants were busily wending their way to the glorious attractions of the cat box. We had an ant problem EVERYWHERE in the house, and we just ended up using ant traps, but I don't think the bugs were unduly drawn to the air freshener. We don't have mice, so I can't help you there. Sorry!

Yes! I generally just use the stations and it stops the ants (I have the small sugar ants). When it doesn't I use the gel with the traps and that always works. The two together have taken care of the worst outbreaks.

Sorry it's been a while. I don't remember having to do anything special. But neither have I received ant alerts on that. Don't want any, either.

I used the Terro outdoor liquid and bait 6 pack T1806, as I could see them outside and this worked really well. I used 2 bait traps and placed them where they already had a trail to follow. I have not seen anymore big black ants in the house. I have used the small bait traps in the house with success but you need to keep them away from children and pets. Again you need to find the trail where they come into the area where they are located and put the trap where they have to walk on it or through it coming in or going out. Ants follow a path and don't change the path unless you do some thing to interrupt it. In the spring flying ants come out of the nests and fly off to make new nests, if you see them, kill them, use a spray, by hand, or knock them out of the air to the grown and step on them. I have used most of there products for ants and they have worked very well for me. Just read and follow the directions.
