Ant Cafes one piece design makes it easy to use with liquid, gel, or dry bait. If you are unsure which type of ants you have, where they are coming from, or what type of bait they prefer, The Ant Cafe is ideally suited for identifying the preferred baits and trails of pest ants. Simply experiment with different types of baits, placing a liquid in one Ant Cafe and a gel in another, etc., and place them in different locations around your home. By checking each Ant Cafe periodically for acceptance, you will be able to see which bait the ants prefer over another. Then the other Ant Cafes can be refilled with the bait of preference and placed in areas of highest ant travel for optimal control. The size and shape of Ant Cafe keeps kids from being able to swallow them.
