How does the trap work?

It is a bait product, so initially you will see more ants. Here is why, as ants search for food, they are attracted to liquid ant bait. Once the searching ants find the liquid bait, they consume it and drop what is called a “trail pheromone” into the nest that lets all the other ants know where the food supply is. This is why you will initially see more ants when using liquid ant bait.

Although the active ingredient in the bait will kill the worker ant, it slowly interferes with the ant's digestive system so that the worker has time to return and share the ant bait with the rest of the colony. This slow killing is necessary to give the food ants time to make multiple trips to the bait and deliver enough bait to the rest of the colony. This is the only way to get rid of the ants you see and the ants you don't.

Since this is a bait product, it is important to eliminate all other food sources in the area. This will ensure that the ants are not tempted to eat anything other than the liquid (deadly) bait. The liquid ant bait station should be left as undisturbed as possible while the ants are feeding on it.

Where to place ant bait stations

Simply place the liquid ant bait stations near ant trails or areas where ants are numerous. It’s also a good idea to stop ants in their tracks by placing additional bait stations anywhere ants may try to infiltrate your home. For best results, use all six bait stations to ensure an ample supply for unsuspecting ants to feast on.

Keep an eye on bait stations to monitor activity, but resist the temptation to interfere when you see ants swarming to feast on the bait. Your patience will pay off as you watch your ant infestation diminish and then disappear.

If necessary, replace with additional bait stations when the first set is used up. Once your ant problem is under control, replace the bait stations every three months to prevent ants from returning to your home.
