Living in New England, it got rid of the ants all summer. But you have to make sure the queen is dead. Good stuff & safe around pets.

Hello, Michael,If you use this product in an area that won't get wet; i.e. near sprinklers, etc. one application can last two to three weeks. We spray this around the edges of our home and it really helps keep the ant population from visiting inside our home!

Any time. I have sprayed a little every month just to keep the crazy ants from coming back. Have not seen any ants in over 6 months. Will spray about every two weeks starting next month.

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.

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 found an area on my foundation where I saw ants. I simply squeezed a small amount of gel bait in crevices and at the base of an adjoining fence. I ten sprinkled the dust around the general area. The ants were attracted to the gel and travel through the dust bringing the poison back to the colony. I killed all ants in 2 weeks (made 2 applications). Very effective product. Worth the money.

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 used Shake Away last summer and it did repel the deer. But although it is somewhat rainproof, it did need to be re-applied fairly often. Considering the net expense for year round application, I switched to a homemade formula of two eggs, half a cup of whole milk, a tablespoon of Dawn, a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and a generous splash of red hot sauce. Mixed in a blender for 1 minute and shaken in a one gallon tank sprayer with 1 gallon of water and sprayed on leaves, it works just as well and costs considerably less. Should be reapplied after any heavy rain. This mix works even better if left to sit outside in the sprayer for a day or two before use. Smell in area after spraying is negligible. I protect red tips, hosta and lantana with it.

Hi! I use it in the early Spring when our home ants begin their annual visit. I look up on GOOGLE for "homemade ant bait recipes." This year, 2014, I used it only once! So effective. I keep it sealed up tight and store it indoors, top of my bedroom closet. Kept this way I think it is good indefinitely. I love this purchase.

I used Termidor around the outside of my house: sprayed next to the foundation, around my patio and all cracks in driveway and sidewalks. I did this more than 6 months ago. I live in a dry climate but it has rained a little in the last two months and I still have not needed to spray. I treated the inside of my house with standard Raid ant traps when I did the outside. Hope this help. PLM

Hi, I didn't use it in the house. By the time I covered the whole foundation and around the windows outside I only found a couple of scorpions in the house the next day and they were already dead. Just to be sure we sprayed once every 2 weeks for the first 2 months... now we just spray after a heavy rain and keep the grass low. I don't even see an ant in the house!

I followed the directions and have treated1.7 acres. One in may of 2011 and again in may 2013. Yes i didnt need it in 2012. I havent had one ant in my yard since may 2011. Just follow the directions and wear long sleeves, long pants and face protection. Works like a champ.

I used it outside. I only left it there for a short time (few hours maybe) as it was my son's party and I didn't want to have poison lying around. Never saw the ants again.

I used this product for getting rid of ants in my kitchen...and it worked incredibly well! I have no more ants and its been about 6 months now .

I just opened the package and then drew back the cover of the little square so that it was a little bit exposed. Not even a quarter of an inch, just a tiny bit. I set it out by the back door. The other ones I set around the house. It worked, the ants were drawn to them and then died. I picked them up (full of dead ants).

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

No. I applied the spray around the exterior foundation of my home last Fall and plan to apply it again this April. I think the killer spray did help to keep ants and roaches out of my house this past winter. Once the product dries, rain has no effect.
