Do the ants take this back to their nest to kill others or is it just contact killer?

its just a contract killer but probably the best I've ever used. There's a product called Terro that works great on and for them to carry it back to the nest it's really inexpensive

This product is contact killer. We use suspend SC for spider infectations. It works great. It kills any other insect that walks around on the sprayed area for about 2 months. I do not think a dried spray can be carried back to an ant nest.

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.

When I use the bait trap, the ants formed a line from their nest and enter the trap. Soon, there was a line of ants going back to the nest and a line coming to the trap. There was an excess of ants that could be described as "hanging out". In 30 days, after using two traps, there was not an ant to be seen. If you spill any of the liquid in the trap, it defeats the purpose as they will feed on the spilled solution and it seems to lose its potency after it is spilled.

Termidor works best when sprayed where ants are currently active. It's a tracking solution that will go with them back to their colony before beginning to kill them.

As long as the ants eat food like sweets or bread crumbs or anything that has Suger in it . Yes it should kill them and the queen. I'm working in Vietnam now. My house is infested with ants every three months . It just seems the time cycle here. I put out Terro and watch them picnic on it a few days. After that they're gone for three more months until the rains push them back inside. This isn't a dirty house thing. It's the tropics and ants march like you see on tv by the millions . I tried combat ant killer . But the ants ignored it, the Terro they go crazy for it. I'm right now awaiting ten ounces of terro in my order from the states. Rainy season is about to come. I bought the ounce bottles seemed cheaper than the 6 pack. Just put a couple drops on the floor near the ants or on card board or an old saucer or what ever you have. I put it directly on the floor . I pour a line not a round drop. The line allows them to feed like tiny cattle . Don't kill them let them eat and return to the queen . It takes a coupele of days . Good luck .

I wondered the same thing, but my mom said I shouldn't have to. Apparently dead ants get eaten by the other ants, or something.

Never tried with carpenter ants. When I captured one outside to ID it ate some mango so they will eat sweet things. After that I never saw them in or near the house.

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.

I've excellent success repelling ants with this product, it kills ants on contact and prevents them from returning. The only problem is that it will not last as a deterrent for as long as the chemical based insecticides, but I'll take the natural products over the harsh chemicals any day.

No, it does not. T o kill ants I use a home remedy of diatomaceous earth (found on amazon) you sprinkle it in problem areas and it is safe. You can also mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar together and leae it near their trail or if you can locate the colony then I would apply it there. My spider and ant problem out of the kitchen and around the exterior of the house, I use ortho home defense.

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.

The ants that come in contact with the Orthene will die but the surviving ants will probably move the queen to another location before any of the poison reaches her. Sometimes just disturbing the mound will trigger this relocation of the queen. Always follow the directions that come with the Orethene because if you don't you may kill a lot of ants and not get the queen.

I'm not positive. Works for me. To me a ant is a ant. Just make sure you cover the mound so the queen can't escape.

They go crazy feeding on this stuff and bring it back to the nest to feed the others and the queen. It kills them all in a matter of days. keep putting drops of it out as long as they are still feeding on it.

It is supposed to kill an ant mound when you release the CO2 capsule into the mound . I used several of the canisters in my garden, but did not get rid of fire ants. It might work on other types of ants.

I sprayed this directly on ants and it didn't kill them. I sprinkled baby powder on ants and it worked (as did Chlorox Clean up). I've made boundaries of the baby powder and it blocks the ant trails until it blows away.

I have not seen ants attracted to it at all. It works great on killing nutsedge though-Follow the Dirt Doctors recommendations.
