TERRO Multi-Surface Ant Bait

Wow, other reviewer were right. Tjis works so fast. When I found ants in bathroom, I called the exterminator, even with spraying, the ants kept coming out in the strangest places (office light socket, hall closet). I would see a few here and a few there. Yesterday, I got my white jacket out of the hall closet and it was covered with tiny black ants. I apparently had a spot of sweet and sour (Chinese food) on one side of my jacket. Oh my, ants galore. I immediately put a Terro ant bait (no smell at all) on the shelf above the clothes rod. The rod was covered with them. It was not easy to see if ants were on the jackets, so I left everything in the closet and closed the door. When I came home 2 hrs later, the paper towel and top of bait was covered with ants, and new ants were marching across the rod toward the bait. I closed the door. About 7 pm I checked again and all the ants were gone except for some on the paper towel. At 9pm, NO ANTS in sight, dead or alive. I closed the door. This morning, I checked the bait and it had a couple ants floating. Hundreds of ants had disappeared. I'm hoping they took the bait back to their nest. I'm a believer in Terro ant bait. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. I am glad I had the sweet and sour on my jacket...it revealed exactly where the ants were getting in. Ants coming into the bathroom were dying because of bug spray. I have been cleaning them up for days. The Terro bait not only kills, but leave no ants to clean up. Ps. I cut off tab of bait and held it upright because of issues reported by others. No problems to report.

It looks like an inviting upscale ant home with filtered lighting, a private entrance and a pool but beware, it's a trap! Really though, if you want to trap ants this will do it. I use these at home (Never had any ants in 40 years then one day, tiny ants!), then others in the hood also have discovered tiny ants, an antvasion. This stuff works, we knew from visiting Florida where everyone has a friendly rivalry with tiny ants these traps are easy and clean to use, get the job done, and very easy to clean up.

These worked very quicky! Within 24 hours we did not see any ants. Good product. Discreet and no odor.

I woke up one morning and saw tons of tiny odorous ants all over our metal garbage can with foot-activated cover. Apparently they found something they liked in our garbage and had an ant trial going from the garbage can to under the baseboard near the stove. I had never even seen one ant indoors until then. I sprayed Clorox cleaner all over them and wiped them up and took out the garbage. For the next week, I'd see a few crawling around the kitchen counter and continued to spray Clorox all over them and where I thought they were emerging. At the same time, all of a sudden they are in our bathroom just across from the kitchen. I have no idea where they are coming from. I put one of these ant traps near the sink, because I keep seeing them in and around the sink. After several hours, a bunch of them are sucking poison up from the Terro ant bait and I can see that the ants are coming from underneath the light fixture over the bathroom mirror. I moved the trap right next to the light fixture. After a few hours, once the ants re-orient themselves to where the trap has moved to, they start a train to carry the poison from the bait to, I guess, wherever their nest is. This goes on for about a day. Next, no more ants to be seen anywhere. They have left the ant bait and they are not coming from beneath the light fixture anymore. Problem solved, it seems. Edit: The ants came back. They disappeared for two days and them came back in many numbers, still sucking food out of the bait. I hope they die soon. I will update this review if and when they totally disappear. Edit: It is Dec. 27, it seems this product has eliminated the ants in the bathroom. It took about three or four waves of ants over several days, probably about two weeks from when I first wrote this review. Also, we continued to have a big ant problem in the kitchen. I put out two of these traps and again figured out where the ants were coming from. Again, it took about three or four major "ant parties' in the bait to get to the point where we see few if any ants. Today, I see none. So, these work, but you have to be patient and you have to put up with a ton of ants going in and out of the trap for at least a few days and maybe up to two weeks. I suppose it depends on how big the ant colony is.

I see a lot of comments raving about this product. I have used them many times but won't anymore. I used to use the terro liquid bait but found they were hard to open with the twist. I always had to cut with a scissor and often spilled wherever I put them and made a gummy mess without adhesive. I'm glad this product changed to a smaller version of itself and not the beige and white covers that encapsulated the inner tray. This was just such an ecological waste using so much unnecessary plastic. So I used these all around my kitchen - taped to molding and the underside of my quartz island. It took a few days to work, was effective for a short period of time and then dried out much sooner than the product description indicated it would last. That said, however, the main reason I will not be using this product again is because it was impossible to remove the tape. I spent 2 hours with a blow dryer to make the tape soft, used a scraper and razor. Tried warm water and soap and just scraped and scrubbed with painstaking progress. I called the company and it was like I was calling from Mars. After being placed on hold to speak to the resident expert, I was told to use olive oil and a soft cloth. This was useless. I continued to do what I had been doing and was able, for the most part, to get it off the quartz but not easily at all. The molding was damaged from trying and still with glue. I had to sand it off (not completely) and repaint the area. Only one of the 6 traps came off at first without a problem. Infuriating to say the least. Does anybody test this stuff or were they all out to lunch that day?????

Does not attract ants. They completely ignore the product. Installed in multiple places right next to ant entry and exit locations and along their paths. Not one single ant in, near or on bait pack in 3 days. All walk around it. Waste of good money.

Got rid of ants in a couple of days.

Honestly I had some doubts on whether this will work or not. Ants finally stopped coming inside my house. I followed instructions to stick the ant box poison in a shaded area, kept one near the entrance of the house and I no longer see them near my door or inside my house. I’ve been using the ant poison box now for 2 weeks. Not sure until when it will last but worth to buy again.

Not effective

I have no idea how this product works. Initially i thought it was useless as ants were passing by it and non of them going inside the bait. But i just left it there for a couple of weeks and strangely enough after 2 weeks there were ZERO ants at my home. Not even one!
