Do they really work. It seems that I fed the ants in the kitchen these

help lower the ant population?

I have used them many times with success. *One trap should wipe out an

Typically, the ants are very active with a trap for 2-3 days, then all

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.

I smeared my mix on their outside paths and it has been active but
less ants for about 3 days.
A squirrel got into some of it so I moved into cracks where squirrel
should not be able to access. Mix should not harm squirrel but it
would be nice to kill two birds with one stone
