How do the Terro Liquid Ant Baits work?
The sweet liquid in the ant bait attracts ants quickly. The ants carry the bait to the colony, and this liquid is then distributed to other ants, including the queen. This process can take from just a couple days to several weeks, depending on the size of the colony. When using, place a liquid ant bait station close to where ants are located indoors. Using the Indoor Liquid Ant Bait stations eliminates the problem of the bait drying out and gives the ants a continuous supply of liquid, day and night. Liquid ant baits are specifically designed to kill the worker ant in two or three days. This slow kill is needed to allow time for the foraging ants to make several trips to the bait, and deliver enough bait to the rest of the colony. On days four and five, there should be a significant decrease in the number of ants visiting the bait. Since this is BAIT it is important to try to eliminate all other food sources so that the ants eat the Terro bait instead of other foods!
