Terro Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stakes, 8ct

The easiest, most effective ant repellant I have ever used. In my yard, everytime it rains, ants begin to build hills against anything that will help support them. This includes solar ground lights (they have often been totally covered overnight), the house itself, tree trunks, etc. All that's needed is to snip a little nipple of plastic from the upper side of the stakes to give ants access to the liquid inside. You then insert the green stake into the anthill (they will swarm it so move quickly). Some of mine have been so large I have used up to four stakes. Within 24 hours, activity greatly slows and within 72 hours you will be able to see the hills are drying out, meaning the ants have lost a great many of their number...if not all...and have moved on. I don't have much trouble with spiders so can't really speak to that. Love this product and will never be without it.

Bought these ant bait stakes for use outside our house where ants were able to access a way inside. I used the baits exactly as directed on the package, and they worked as promised. I used two, spaced as recommended, and within a few weeks the ants were gone. I re-applied the stakes later in the summer for insurance that they would not be back. It's a bit difficult to snap or cut bait opening at the top. I recommend wearing vinyl gloves in case some spills. Will definitely buy again next spring and summer if needed.
