TERRO Liquid Ant Bait Stakes

The stakes contain a liquid bait formulated with borax that attracts worker ants. Instead of killing them on contact, the ants consume the bait and carry it back to the colony, effectively spreading it to the queen and the rest of the population to eliminate the source of the infestation.

While the bait is contained within the stake, it is still a pesticide. You should place the stakes in areas where pets and children are unlikely to disturb them, and always wash your hands thoroughly after handling the units.

Each stake features a transparent monitor window that allows you to easily check the remaining liquid levels. If the bait is empty or the stake has been exposed to the elements for an extended period, it is time to replace it.

No, these specific stakes are designed exclusively for outdoor use. They are intended to intercept ants before they enter your home, so you should place them along the perimeter of your foundation or near known ant trails outside.

These stakes are formulated to attract most common household ants that are drawn to sugar-based baits. However, some species of ants prefer protein or grease-based food sources and may not be attracted to this specific liquid formula.
