TERRO® Outdoor Liquid Ant Bait Stakes

The older version of these that was made with thicker opaque plastic was MAGIC and I recommended them to everyone I knew. I actually was able to cancel professional pest control and just switched to those. Used them for years just replacing every 3-4 months. I would pay twice or even 3 times the amount to just have those back. I don’t know if the new version wasn’t tested at all or what but the ants often slide down the slicker plastic, the plastic is flimsy and heats up pretty hot in the sun which I think may actually deter the ants or make the bait less effective or attractive. Please, this is not an improvement. I have bought a few different times just to see if I needed to adjust to it. I will not buy these again.

They ruined a great product ! the old container and bait worked well the new one is crap ,flimsy ,cheap and breaks easily will use another brand.

Difficult to use, worse than original. They’re impossible to insert into rocky soil or rock flowerbeds. Its extremely difficult to cut the corner off the trap while its on the ground and if you pre-cut they are so flimsy you get your hands covered in ant bait. The old style hard plastic one was my go to trap for over a decade. It simply worked. Bring back your original product. If the margins on it weren’t viable, raise the price, don’t make a worse product. Never buying these again.

I've used the former stakes and they worked very well but for some reason these are not attracting the ants. Very disappointed since I bought a bunch of them. It isn't clear what the problem is.

I cant recommend these stakes, as they have so many issues. The formula hasn't changed and still works, it just takes a few days to a week or two. HOWEVER 1) The stakes are thin and flimsy. 2) They're hard to get in the ground. 3) You pretty much have to place them against a wall, foundation, etc. 4) Due to them being thin, you barely tap them with a weed trimmer and you slice them open. 5) The break-off part isn't always the easiest to break off, sometimes you'll waste stakes because you end up crushing them or cracking them in the process of opening them or shoving them in the ground. 6) They dont always break open clean. Other than the cracking risk, you also end up with the chance of it only opening up a tint bit. 7) Wirh the opening being towars the top, it makes it harder for ants to get in and out of them, but also makes it easier for everything else to get in them... such as diet, grass clippings, water (which defeats the purpose if the ants lose track of them due to the water blocking the attracting properties, or the ants drowning in the water while trying to get the bait. These aren't worth the money anymore. They need to be thicker and sturdier. I cant recommend this product... I do recommend the style that have the base wirh two stakes and the cup that inserts doen into a channel in the top... but even with them, a trimmer makes mince meat of the cup rather easily. The cup style are also getting much harder to find. Only place I can find them is Amazon, and my last batch of them arrived damage with bait liquid leaking out.

These do not work.

Very disappointed with this product. This ant baits do not attract and kill ants. I bought it in the beginning of June put it out and nothing happened. Ants do not get in to the tube, so I poured it out in different containers so they will have access. Refiled it few times throughout the month and they still alive and well. Would like to have my money back.

I placed these around the perimeter of my driveway. Including 2 feet away from an ant hill. It does not work.

BAD DESIGN… ANTS DO NOT CRAWL UP INTO THE OPENING…Do not waste your money

As everyone else has said, you have ruined a good product with your redesign! I wish I would have kept some of the old ones and refilled them because these are worthless!
