Take control of pests inside and out with TERRO® Ant Dust. This waterproof powder kills on contact and lasts up to 8 months. Killing fire ants, carpenter ants, cockroaches, spiders and much more makes this a staple for any household. To help prevent and control invasions, apply TERRO® Ant Dust thoroughly and uniformly to foundations and crawl spaces where pests are active and may find entrance to your home. The dust acts as a barrier that the ants and other insects must crawl through, ensuring contact and therefore killing them.
EASY TO APPLY
TERRO® Ant Dust comes in a convenient, easy-to-use shaker can. Just twist the inner cap to allow a scatter of dust through small holes or a wide spread option through the large opening. Twist again to close or adjust!
HOW TO TREAT AN ANT MOUND
To treat fire ant mounds, evenly sprinkle approximately one tablespoon of TERRO® Ant Dust over the top of each mound. Do not water in or disturb the mound. Apply when temperatures are between 65° and 80°F and allow three to four days for maximum control. Repeat application if ants are still active.
HOW TO APPLY INDOORS
Apply lightly and uniformly to infested area. Pay attention to cracks and crevices, service ducts, false floors and ceilings, wall voids, around electrical and telephone fittings and equipment, around water and sewer pipes, under and behind cabinets, refrigerators and sinks; around windows and door frames; along base-boards; in attics and crawl spaces. The amount to be applied will vary with the site but should usually be in the range of 0.5 lb of product per 1000 square feet.
HOW TO TREAT A PERIMETER
Apply around windows and doors, porches, screens, eaves, patios, garages, under stairways, in crawl spaces, and other areas where pests hide. To help prevent the invasion of buildings and structures by these pests, apply thoroughly and uniformly to the foundation and crawl spaces where pests are active and may find entrance.
"I used Terro Ant Dust for years in combination with other pesticides like Terro Ant Bait and much more. Works great and last long along with it being waterproof. I live in a heavy wooded area and for the last 25 years I have been keeping carpenter ants along with others at bay."

May be a good product but I have not used it yet. I had it sitting on a windowsill and could see that the container was less than 1/2 full. The container is 81/4" tall with 4" of product in it!!! Disappointing that the company is deceptive.
This product settles during shipping (just like a bag of potato chips). The bottle is filled by weight rather than volume. When the bottle is opened, it may not appear to be full, however the weight is correct. Please feel free to contact us at 1-844-837-7644 for assistance.

DOES THE ANT DUST KILL ANTS WHEN THEY BRING IT BACK TO THE NEST. OR IS IT A BLOCKER , I WANTED TO TREAT A VERY LARGE INDOOR CRAWL SPACE, MADE OF CEMENT. I WANTED A PRODUCT THAT THEY BRING BACK TO THE NEST. THANKS
Hello Mike! This product kills ants once they come in contact with it, rather than being taken back to the colony. If you prefer a bait, our liquid ant bait is a great option!
Best regards,

Disappointed using on fire ants

After 2 weeks, the ant dust is still sprinkled on the mound. The fire ants are still very active. At first, they started carrying the dust into the mound, but that didn't last through the day. I've reapplied but they just ignore it. I am very disappointed after reading the good reviews. I would not recommend this for fire ants.
Thank you for sharing this feedback. This product works to kill ants that come in contact with it directly. If ants are still present, they may have not previously encountered the product. Generally, results are seen within 3-4 days, however this may very depending on the size of the colony. This product is backed by a 30 day return policy. Reach out to us directly for assistance.

Did not work for me

I have problems with small ants getting in my kitchen. I used the powder as well as the Terro ant and spider spray to treatment the perimeter of my house and the interior windows and doors where they are getting in. Unfortunately I have not seen any improvement and will most likely have to call in an exterminator.
It’s working in some areas but not around a water faucet in my backyard. I don’t know how they are getting into my house. They have targeted the cat food and water bowl and there is no trail. I have seen them in my bathroom in the tub and on the walls around the tub. I love the Terro waterproof powder but I have noticed that this time using it when water is on it became a liquid mess. I love this product but in where I see a major ant infestation outside by the water faucet and the one side of my house they are not being destroyed they are heavy. These are small ants. Must be a really big nest.
This stuff is AMAZING! I had those little tiny “sweet” ants in my second floor bathroom. They liked the water and toothpaste. Yuck. And I seriously had about 20 ant hills in all if the cracks in my driveway . I removed the toothpaste products. Sprinkled this stuff on the area they were entering the house and on every hill in the driveway. No ants in the bathroom within 24 hours and it’s been 7 days and no return. Half as many in the driveway after 24 ours, 5 new anthills that I treated. 3 new ant hills 5 days later, and at 7 days no new hills and just a few ants here and there on the driveway. So glad I read the other reviews and tried this. Tried Amdro ant traps first, seemed like it actually attracted more. Great product, great price, thanks!!!
I've used Terro ant dust, liquid bait, and granules for small pavement ants. I've had only a small amount of success using all three together. The small ants keep coming back, I can't kill the colony for some reason! I've been trying to get rid of the ants from April 2019 until today June 4, 2019.
We're sorry to hear that these small pavement ants keep coming back! It sounds to us like there are multiple colonies of ants at work. You are doing all of the right things and using all of the right products for effective sontrol, but we have a number of additonal control options to consider at http://www.terro.com/ants-control. We are also more than happy to work with you on a customized plan of attack at 800-800-1819 x 458. Give us a call!
