Do they really work. It seems that I fed the ants in the kitchen these
things all last summer and they never slowed down. Now so far this summer
they are going thru these things like crazy, will these baits eventually
help lower the ant population?



I have used them many times with success. One trap should wipe out an
entire colony. I've been using the Terro traps outdoors on the deck.
Typically, the ants are very active with a trap for 2-3 days, then all
of the sudden they are gone. Ants support aphids and may build nests
inside potted plants.


I wish they worked that good for me. I have three of them on a ledge above
the kitchen sink and there has been a steady stream of ants to them for
about three weeks now. I only have 1 left of six in the box. Gonna have to
go get a new supply. At least the ants are up on the ledge instead of all
over the sink board, thats the only way I can see that are working.
