Know before you buy
Worker ants are attracted to the sweet formula and carry the bait back to the nest. Once consumed by the rest of the colony, including the queen, it effectively eliminates the entire population at the source.
No, this product is not safe for children or pets. You should place the bait stations in areas that are completely inaccessible to them, such as behind appliances or inside cabinets.
This formula is specifically designed to target sweet-eating household ants. It may not be effective against ants that prefer grease or protein-based food sources.
While the formula is fast-acting, complete infestation control typically takes up to two weeks. You may notice an increase in ant activity near the bait stations initially as they are drawn to the food source.
These bait stations are intended for indoor use only. They are not rain-resistant and should not be placed in areas where they might be exposed to moisture or weather.
For the best results, place the stations directly in the path of ant trails or near known entry points. Avoid spraying cleaning products or insecticides near the bait, as this can deter ants from approaching it.
