Vitax Nippon Ant Killer Liquid Insect Control,

Product Information

For indoor ant control, you can find many other products out there—including Amdro Ant Killing Bait, Combat Ant Killing Bait, Combat Max Ant Killing Bait, Pic Ant Killer Bait, Raid Ant Baits, and Raid Max Double Control Ant Baits—but none match the combination of a clear bait station, effectiveness, and low toxicity that Terro offers. With opaque bait stations such as our Terro runner-up and others from Combat, Pic, and Raid, monitoring is impossible; you can only sit there, hoping that there’s bait left and that it’s working. Although it is not their primary diet, carpenter ants do occasionally feed on common sweets such as syrup, honey, jelly, sugar, salt, and fruit and would be attracted to the sugars in TERRO ® liquid bait during these times. You can clean it up with hot water and a paper towel (it’s like cleaning up maple syrup), and if you’re aware of where the ant opening is and you’re careful, spills should be rare. Terro also sells outdoor bait stations ( 1806 and T1812) that you can stake to the ground for more security.

Placed it, it was not leaking, came back later and it has leaked a bunch of its bait liquid out the front hole onto the surface it is sitting on.

Nobody likes to find ants running around in the kitchen or in and out of holes in the skirting board. The report states, “It has moderate to low acute and chronic toxicity and does not cause mutagenic, carcinogenic, developmental, or reproductive effects. Yet hours, days or even weeks later, I will look at the trap and see it has disgorged a lot of its liquid out of the entry hole onto the floor (or whatever surface it is sitting on).

Plus the extension tube is the perfect tool to inject the spray into wall voids and small openings in the infested wood. The Terro bait station is clear plastic (other than the label on the top) for easy monitoring of ant activity and the amount of remaining bait. The ants are far too minuscule to tilt it and in fact showed no interest until the liquid inside had spilled out into a big puddle, around which they are gathered like pigs at a trough.Antmaster Ant Killer has a patented formulation recipe which caters for these feeding preferences of the major pest ants and serves up a meal they can’t resist. Further complicating matters is the fact that, over time, the soybean oil will go rancid, and fire ants will no longer be attracted to the bait. Once that active ingredient is released,” Puckett said, “there is going to be a long period of time during which it has to break down, and during that time if other non-target organisms come in contact with it, they can succumb to the active ingredient. An ant bait contains a mixture of food and a slow-acting poison that worker ants—the ones you see out and about—collect and bring back to the colony to share.

Containing two refillable bait stations and 25g Nippon Ant Killer Liquid, the Nippon Ant Killer System can be used time and time again, making it a cost-effective option for anyone who has regular ant infestations. Many manufacturers also sell their bait in a syringe or tube (like toothpaste) so that you can apply it to a scrap of cardboard or directly on the floor near an ant trail, but like sprays and lawn-wide pesticides, this method increases the bait’s potential exposure to non-targeted animals (or kids). It’s also important to minimise the availability of other food sources such as sugary foods and spillages to ensure bait intake and increase control. Borax has a long track record of success against indoor ants, and when mixed with a sweet, syrupy liquid, it creates an attractive meal for an ant. Over a period of about 7 to 10 days a fatal dose of Nippon Ant Killer Liquid will build up in the queen herself, and eradicate the whole nest.He works with the Urban and Structural Entomology Program and has done international consulting work (such as in Australia) on the control of fire ants. These products are sometimes referred to as bait stations and are designed to let ants in but keep children and pets out. No-one likes to find ants running around in the kitchen or in and out of holes in the skirting board.
