TERRO Ant Killer, the original ant killer, attracts and kills all common household ants including Argentine ants, ghost ants, cornfield ants, pavement ants, acrobat ants, white footed ants, little black ants, odorous house ants and other sweet-eating ants. The ant killer is specifically designed – using the active ingredient Borax- to provide fast-acting elimination of the ants you see and the ants you don't. Q: I just placed several squares of TERRO Ant Killer in my kitchen and it's attracting more ants, not killing them! What's going on? A: You have nothing to worry about! Initially, you will see more ants. As ant foragers look for food, they are attracted to the sweet liquid in the bait which they consume and carry back to feed to the rest of the colony. On the way back to the nest, the ants drop what it called a 'trail pheromone', letting the other ants know where the tasty food supply is. In turn, these ants follow the trail to the bait which explains why you initially see more ants Q: I've been using TERRO; Ant Killer for the past few days. When should I remove the bait stations? A: We recommend leaving the bait out for three to four days after signs of ant activity diminish. If no more ants appear, remove the bait, relax and enjoy being ant-free! Q: The ants in my kitchen are avoiding the TERRO Ant Killer – can you explain why? A: As long as the bait is in liquid form (has not hardened or thickened) it should be effective because the active ingredient does not diminish over time. The ants may have found another food source, by seeking a grease-based vs. sugar-based food, or be in the breeding cycle of their colony and not interested in eating. Q: How long does it take to eliminate an ant colony with TERRO Ant Killer? A: The ants consume large quantities of the bait and then return to the nest and share it with the rest of the colony, killing the ants you see and the ants you don't! This process can take from just a couple days to several weeks, depending on the size of the colony. Each ant that consumes the bait will die within 24 - 48 hours. It is important to leave the bait as undisturbed as possible while the ants are actively feeding on it. You should replace it only if it becomes inaccessible to the ants, or empty.
