Damn, I thought I was the only one with this issue. It worked so good last year and I picked up some of their other baits for ants, but they don't work at all.

Got Combat Bait Ant Killing gel, and that stuff worked in hours. Literally standing there watching them eat and within hours there were none left.

The product takes a while for the worker ants to bring it back and then for ants to eat it, but it does seem to work. I don't think ants grow resistant to borax sugar water (basically what this stuff is). It isn't supposed to kill them on the spot like Raid because that would be a bandaid fix.

It brings out more ants because ants tell other ants they found food...on the terro outdoor bait product page for How it works it says

"Unlike contact killers, which only target visible worker ants on your property, these baits include slow-acting ingredients that have a delayed effect on the ant's digestive system. This deliberate kill method lets the foragers feed and return to the colony where they can spread the bait to the young and queen, eliminating the outdoor population before it can enter your home. **During this time, the number of ants may increase as they swarm to feed** on the sweetened liquid before they begin disappearing altogether."

Also, wouldn't any exterminator not prefer you to use these and DIY so they get more work? What is wrong with having dead ants in the traps?

Quote from OctoberFox :
Exterminators recommend against these as the bait doesn't last long enough to penetrate their lairs, and you wind up with traps full of dead ants. Another poster here recommended Optigard.

I've had mixed results with these, but ultimately they never rid me of the problem, they only seemed to draw out more ants. Dealing with sugar ants and wood eating ants, this stuff doesn't work very well.

I'm wondering if the % has been reduced. I've used them successfully for years but this year it is different. A diy blend took care of them but the traps only seemed to slow them. I'm not sure what I've seen, quite possibly some other parasitic or coincidental insect but several times I've seen what appears to be a smaller, thinner, perhaps slightly translucent "ant" which moves considerably faster than the normal ones. Or .... My incidental borax ingestion has hit a pinnacle. Who knows?!?

Idk if they are being stingy with the active ingredients but it could definitely be possible. Maybe buying your own borax and supplementing it is the best option.

Do these work on carpenter ants?

My exterminator wants to charge me additional $300 to take care of carpenter ants even though we get quarterly service from them. They say it is not "covered" with normal service.

No the percentage has not been reduced. There are two types of ants. Sugar and fat/protein ants. You likely decimated the sugar colonies last year with this stuff, leaving the fat/protein ants to take over. To kill those you need the stuff that's peanut butter mixed with borax instead of sugar like terro. You can make it yourself or buy the bait stations

I'm about to go hardcore and get the generic version of stuff somebody in the last thread said the professionals use. You spray all around your house and if you get it on your skin you're gonna have a bad time. I think it's safe for humans (and pets?) after it dries. Please do your own research, make sure I'm not shilling or the last poster wasn't wrong, links below.

This is after leaving TWELVE Terro baits out for EVER. I mean weeks. At my last place (two years ago? Three?), I left at least six out for two weeks and then ants were GONE. Moved an hour away and last season (year ago?) I had twelve baits out for a month and ants were still coming. I'm tired of them showing up when it rains. Time to go HARDCORE!

Termidor SC (overpriced!! no reason to buy!)

https://www.domyown.com/termidor-sc-p-184.html

Taurus SC (also on Amazon but only an XL size)

https://www.domyown.com/taurus-sc...-1816.html

PS - hey, Green Peace crew, is this just the worst for the environment? I think it'll kill spiders for example and spiders = spiderbros (I never kill, always take outside). But anything worse? Am I depleting the ozone? Naw but am I killing the body of water that our sewers flow to around here, like if it rains a couple days after I apply? I hate ants but I don't want to put the world's deadliest chemicals in our local waterbody. Cheers!

I mixed sugar and a decent dose of borax in it & it did kill them.

I've repeated this process three times at different locations with the original product not being terribly effective and the DIY homebrew version being in as effective as the store-bought had been previously. However I did not have a control I should have had a sugar pill. I guess I could have just had some without borax oh well.

Yeah it's really not difficult to make. The only reason to purchase the traps is somewhere between laziness and convenience, at best. I no longer have little ones running around And my dog is definitely not getting on the counter which is where I will usually encounter them. Before I took a trip out of state I put a large amount of some I made in an area which is often a point of incursion, spreading it out fairly liberally to allow plenty of access. I've not seen an ant since. So I should be good for a bit. And I know this is not what I should say at this point and I can only imagine the number of comments which may be generated. I read several articles from experts Who either have studied these little fellows or have professionally eradicated these little fellows. Per them, "sugar" ants don't live here. There are a couple small ants which seem to be mistaken for them, pharoah & odorous house. A 3rd I don't know if this was just a descriptive term or an actual type, little black.

Ehhh who knows?!?.

True! Bought this thing back in June from Amazon and the ants just keep coming back and asking for more! No idea what happened.

These consumer grade products never end up working long term. It's like buying a pair of disposable headphones from dollar tree; the quality sucks and you keep having to replace them every month and end up spending more long term. I bit the bullet and spent $30 on a tube of "maxforce quantum" which is the stuff the pros use. Do your own research. Those suckers died off and never came back. Rather than spend $4 ten times deploying this stuff, just buy the stuff that works and be done with it.

The oil will certainly last longer, the filter is the problem. If you go past 5k miles, be sure your filter can handle it. Cheapies won't cut it.
