With TERRO® Liquid Ant Bait Stakes, you can stop your ant problem at the source. The bait stakes target ants outdoors before they can come inside. To kill common household ants, place stakes in areas where you've seen ant activity. This will attract foraging ants so they can take the bait back to the nest. As the bait circulates through the colony, it kills the ants you see and the ones you don’t.
How Liquid Ant Bait Works
Since this is a bait product, initially you will see more ants – but this is a good thing. As ants forage for food, they are attracted to the sweet liquid inside the bait stations. After finding the bait, worker ants leave behind a pheromone trail leading back to the colony. Meanwhile, the active ingredient is slowly interfering with the ant’s digestive system but leaving enough time for the ant to share the dose with the rest of the nest, ultimately eliminating the entire colony.
Stop Ants at the Source
Place TERRO® Liquid Ant Bait Stakes in outdoor areas close to where ants are entering your home, or where you see ant nests or ant trails. The more bait placements, the better. This allows you to eliminate ant populations outdoors before they can come indoors and infest your home.
Easy to Use
For your convenience, TERRO® Liquid Ant Bait Stakes are easy to use. Simply cut the tab to open the bait station and insert the stake in the ground. Be sure to leave the ant baits undisturbed while the ants are actively feeding on it. When the bait is depleted, discard the stakes. Once ants are controlled, replace the baits every 3 months to keep them from returning.

These new ant baits (see-through) do not attract and kill ants like the old ones (solid green square) did. I installed them in inch-wide ant trails and I haven't seen a single ant on or in one, and the ant trails are still there. Same kind of ants that the old style worked on for 12 years. We are overrun with ants in both yards and if they get in the house I'm sending you the exterminator's bill.
Thank you for this feedback. We're sorry to hear that the desired results are not being seen. The liquid formula has not changed. Only the stake itself has changed. This product has a 30 day return period at the retailer.

Old ones worked great but these new ones are horrible. They don't go into the ground easily and they break when the trimmer goes near them. Worst of all they seem less effective at killing ant than the old ones.
Thank you for this feedback. We're sorry to hear about this recent experience. These concerns have been shared with our Product Managers regarding the design. The liquid bait inside the stake has not changed.

Easier to cut then the old style but flimsy and unless they're against a wall, aren't holding up as something is knocking them over or bending them. Also impossible to cut when in the ground so spilled some getting it in. Just make refills for the better stakes!!
Thank you for this feedback. We're sorry to hear that this happened when using the stakes. These concerns have been shared with our Product Managers.

Your new formula doesn’t work. I actually got the stakes in the ground but they don’t work. Very disappointed o had used the hard plastic stakes from Terro for years and the ants would be gone in 2 days it’s been 2 weeks and I still have ants. I do not recommend and won’t buy again
We appreciate your feedback regarding this bait station. The formula for the liquid bait has not changed, but how long it takes to eliminate a colony varies depending on the number in the area and how large those colonies are. Please contact us at 844-837-7644 with any questions.

Thought I was ordering the ant bait stakes we had used in the past but got these. They are impossible to even stick in the ground and am totally disgusted with them! Would NOT recommend them! This is the first Terro product that has disappointed me! Doesn’t even deserve one star!
Thank you for sharing this feedback. The bait stakes were recently updated to use less plastic. We appreciate this feedback and have shared these concerns with our Product Managers for review.

Works great!

Works great! I followed instructions and located the ant trail. Stuck the bait stake into the ground near their activity and used utility scissors to snip off the corner. The ants were crawling all over and into it within minutes! Now I gleefully wait for them to die.
Did not work. Stuck them tight in ground, and followed instructions. All got knocked over and spilled in just 3 days of use by the wind or a mysterious wild animal (like a squirrel). Would not recommend product due to cheap lightweight material.
Oh no! We are so sorry to hear about that. We appreciate your feedback and have shared your comments with the Product Manager. It is good to know that this product is backed by a 1-year replacement policy. Please give us a call at 844-837-7644 for assistance.
