TERRO Perimeter Ant Bait Plus

Started using this 3 days ago to get rid of the giant satanic carpenter ants destroying my yard and now the inside of my house. It’s already working. (Written 4/9/26) For some background, these ants were all over my yard. I would find a nest with larvae and thousands of ants and get rid of it with poison spray. Then another nest would pop up somewhere else in the yard. I would spray them again, but the cycle kept repeating for over a year. I did some research and learned that no matter how many nests I sprayed, they would keep relocating unless I found the queen and took her out. It’s hard to catch carpenter ants because they move around in the dark, and I sleep at night. I decided to spend a week staying up late to monitor them. I found a trail along the outside of my stucco wall, and they were going into a small hole near the water hose spigot. I checked the other side of the wall inside the house and realized it lined up with the plumbing behind my refrigerator. When I moved the fridge, I found rotting and crumbling wood. Apparently, a carpenter ant village has been flourishing inside my home and actively destroying my house. There is a removable wall panel to access the plumbing, but I was too terrified to look inside, especially knowing I couldn’t just spray them anymore. So I calmed down and did more research on what to do next. I learned bait is the only real solution. Ants eat it thinking it’s food, digest it, then regurgitate (vomit) it to feed the larvae. The larvae produce nutrients all of the ants eat, meaning the poison spreads through the entire colony. They’re psychotic. The poison doesn’t kill them immediately, which is the point. They keep eating it and sharing it without realizing it’s hurting them. It weakens them over a couple of days and then kills them shortly after. I ordered this bait immediately with expedited shipping. That night, I followed their trail and shook some bait on the ground below the wall where they were traveling. I also threw some at the wall, hoping it would attract their tastebuds (do they have tastebuds???). I literally prayed to God to make them like the flavor. It was torture watching them go about their lives. I feel evil for hurting them, but honestly, why couldn’t they just leave when I asked nicely? Now, 2 nights later, here I am stalking them again as they crawl slowly along the wall. The trail is broken. They look weak and are having trouble holding on to the wall, many have fallen down. Some go in and out of the spigot hole (to hide in my walls), but they are clearly struggling tonight. I feel hopeful. If you are reading this, please pray for my ants to eat more bait, as I pray for yours to eat it too. I’ll keep you updated on what happens in the coming days. UPDATE: (4/15/26) It’s 4 a.m., one week later, and I have been monitoring these ants like a deranged private investigator. I’ve lost days of sleep. I have dark circles under my eyes. I even got into a heated exchange in a Walmart parking lot and started arguing with my oil change mechanic because I am exhausted. This is not who I am. This is what the ants made me become. Now the good news. Tonight, for the first time, I can’t find any ants. No carpenter ants. No other species either. Even the miniature black ants I usually see outside are gone. I never intended to kill them, but war does not spare the innocent. I feel relieved, but I still cannot relax. I need another week to know whether the queen is truly dead or whether these demons just relocated and are plotting their next move. For now, I am still putting out fresh bait in the same places. Next week I will search the entire outdoor perimeter, and if all is clear, I will finally open that wall panel, vacuum out the bodies, and hire a plumber to seal the water spigot before a new colony gets any ideas. Pray for me. I need sleep. I’ll update this review again.

I just paid $250 for an exterminator because I was having ant problems and all kinds of bugs come in and I just thought I would do one good spray but I can’t afford to do the ongoing services. He ended up telling me that, truthfully, with these, I could keep them away, he said I don’t need them right now because I’m spraying but these are the best. My next-door neighbor said the same thing. I bought all three forms so I put some of the liquid sticks in a couple of places outside, kept the liquid drops for inside, and then I used this on the outside of my deck, around a tree base, and outside of my garage area where they came in recently and attacked my cat kibble. BTW, people say it depends on what kind of ants you get whether they want sweet or not such as your cat food according to the exterminator what it really is is when they are building their nest like now they want proteins , and when they are done with their nest, they enjoy the sugar. Makes sense when you think about it.

This stuff worked great on a carpenter ant infestation I had but it took a couple weeks. I ordered this product and applied it about a week after I first noticed carpenter ants hanging out around the corner of my house. For the first week it seemed like issue was getting worse then I started noticing more dead ants than live ones. After about 2 weeks I'd only see a random ant here or there now I haven't seen a single ant in my house for a couple days and virtually none outside. It works great but the effects aren't immediate like some sprays might be. It purposefully kills the ants slowly so they have time to share the bait throughout the colony so if you don't see results after a couple days just be patient.
