Keep ants and other unwanted insects out of your house with TERRO® Ant Killer Plus. These fast-acting granules can be used as a perimeter treatment around the foundation of your house, as a general lawn treatment, or as a spot treatment directly on ant hills and fire ant mounds. The powerful formula kills listed insect pests on contact while also providing residual repellency.
Easy to Apply
To allow for ease of use, TERRO® Ant Killer Plus is packaged in a convenient, resealable shaker bag. Just open the top, grab the bottom of the bag, and start spreading the ant killer granules. There’s no chemical spreader or broadcaster needed!
How to Treat a Perimeter
Keep ants, cockroaches, fleas and other listed insects out of your house by applying a 3 to 10 foot band of granules along your foundation. Water lightly immediately following application. It is best to treat the foundation when insects first appear or when you notice lawn damage. For best results, remove leaf litter and cut back vegetation that touches the foundation.
How to Treat Ant Hills
To control ants (except fire ants), apply one to two teaspoons of TERRO® Ant Killer Plus over and around ant hills – water lightly immediately following application. If the soil is dry, water lightly before application to bring the ants closer to the surface for better control.
How to Treat Fire Ant Mounds
To control fire ants, apply ½ cup of granules over, and two feet around each fire ant mound. Immediately following application, water the product in completely, applying a minimum of one gallon of water to each mound area. Be sure to water gently – use of a high-pressure hose may disturb the ants and cause migration, reducing the product’s effectiveness!

"I get ants year round in my home. After trying other brands of the granules with little and short-lasting results I bought the Terro® ant killer plus granules, spread around the outside perimeter of my house and within a week there were no ants in my home. Great product and works as well as industrial grades."

I had a bad ant infestation and the liquid baits did not work. Treating the perimeter did not work. I have no basement. The ants had moved in under my house, probably to get away from the rain. I opened the crawl space access points outside and with a scoop I tossed the granules under the house trying to get all the space covered. Worked like a charm! I never had to repeat the process. One and done. Thanks Terro!
Spray doesn’t work. The liquid ant baits are great. They take a few days and you see a lot more ants in the beginning but then they are gone in area being treated. Can’t say about outdoor grains that you shake around foundation. Have to time treatment with rainy days which isn’t so convenient.
Thank you for this feedback. We're sorry to hear that the desired outcome was not achieved with this product. It will only help control ants that crawl through the treated area. If ants are continuing to swarm, we recommend additional methods of control such as baiting.

Slightly watered planting area. Applied TERRO, then slightly watered again.
It will rain all day in 48 hours.
Do I cover the area with tarp or let the rain flood the area?
When can I plant my floral seeds?
I bought two bags of this from Menards and applied to the edges of my lawn, then I watered it following the instructions. However, it did not do anything. After a few days the number of ants didn’t decrease and they are still very active. They even climb over the granules to go in and out of their nest.
I wish I could get my monkey back!

I originally bought this product for ants, however my basement inside and outside was getting over run with millipedes! I decided to spread these granules around the perimeter outside. Fantastic! I don’t see any. This product worked for me.
I've always loved the ant bait it does exactly what it say it would do I turned those base onto for my family members and they no longer have problems with ants however your bug spray don't seem to work that well I was disappointed I want to be a advocate for Terro because I believed in it, now the ant powder for the outside don't seem to be working that well I sprinkled on the side of my yard where my air conditioning vents by the tree were and I'm still seeing a bunch of ants crawling up on the air conditioning area where I applied the aunt powder, but the liquid ant bait is the bomb!
It took care of our fire ants in the location we needed it. Unfortunately the location is where I planned my vegetable garden. We planted flowers instead last year. How long until it is safe to plant vegetables in that soil? It has been a year since the treatment
We appreciate your feedback! We do not have a timeframe that we can recommend treated areas be later used for growing produce, and advise using an alternate location. Please feel free to contact us at 844-837-7644 with any questions!

Are the bait in these granules protein based or sugar based? Will these granules wash away after rain?
