I had heard about this product for ants, (Terro) but thought sure another product that will not work and I will be putting it away with all the other products I have collected with time and alot of money, lol Well yesterday at the store I just happened to see this product, Terro for ants liquid baits, hummm should I try it? well I invested the almost $7.00 it costs, brought it home, put just one tray out, and forgot about it, 2 hours later, I could not believe my eyes, they were marching to this tray like it was free ice cream day...they were so eager to get to it I put out 1 more tray, last night we only saw 4 ants....this morning I am proud to say NO ANTS! they are all gone, now it is the afternoon and still no ants, I highly recommend this product, It really works!!!!!!!!!!!

We've been using Terro for about 16 years and haven't found anything that gets rid of ants faster. We had gotten ants really bad with all the rain we've had and it took a couple days and a few traps, but as usual, they are gone and won't be back!!! I don't think there is anything else on the market that works as well and there is no nasty smell to it!

Yes, I visited there web site, and it is safe for children and animals, even if they ate it, it will not harm them at all....that is nice to know, and the ants are still gone and I am amazed! Years ago there was an ant killer that I cannot remember the name of right now, anyways it was letal and had the skull and crossbones on it as well, it was a tiny bottle that I got at the pharmacy, anyways all you needed is to dunk a toothpick into the jar and put 1 dot wherever you had ant problems and they were gone and never came back, Of course they no longer sell that cause it was so toxic.....
Oh just remembered the name of it, it was called Kelloggs ant paste.

Thanks for the heads up on this, day 2 and still no ants, I love it!! I gave my son some because they have ants too, I told him to pull up a chair and enjoy the show, especially when they start marching to the poison, lol

Every once in awhile, we have a problem with ants, so I appreciate hearing about this product! I have both children and pets, so I am happy to hear that it's non-toxic.

What's great about this product is that the ants eat some and then take if back and share it. It wipes out the colony! Ants seem to be worse in early summer here in the Midwest and we anticipate them every year! Even after you use all the cardboard squares, you can just cut a piece of cardboard off something else and it will also work. One bottle usually lasts a few years so it's well worth the cost! What's fun to watch is at night when they come out and all the lights are off...here they come marching in!!!

I have the Terro Liquid one, it is so neat, just clip the part where it shows you, set it down where you want and they come running! your hands never touch anything in it, and it is not toxic at all. We have what they call Odorous Ants here, they have an odor like nothing you can imagine, lol

I have to agree with everyone!! This is a great product! I'm glad to see its so popular.I did have a problem once with it not working on grease ants.I'm not sure why maybe because there not sweet eating ants. I added a few drop of oil over the liquid and then it took care of the problem I finally got rid of them.

I've used TERRO for years and have never once thought twice about recommending it to others. It works effectively and you aren't left sweeping up little dead ants like when you spray them.
After Hurricane Isabel made landfall on top of us in 2003 - she left in her wake alot of standing water....well the ants didn't think twice about marching in to homes to get away from the water. I know the poor little things were just trying to survive, but I can't have hundreds of ants marching around the house....so Terro went down and the ants went away!
