Per the Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait product label for outdoor application: A careful inspection around a structure can help identify areas where ants are nesting, actively foraging, or are gaining access to the structure. Place bait on or adjacent to the structure where you observe ants or to areas of suspected ant activity to control ants before they enter the structure. Place bait in cracks and crevices (in brick walls, between pavement slabs, in tree holes, under stones, etc.) where ants are seen to be active or ant trails are evident. To maximize residual effectiveness, apply Maxforce Quantum Ant Bait in locations that are protected from direct sunlight and rain or irrigation. Make spot treatments outdoors where ants are seen, next to ant trails and suspected areas of ant activity. Likely locations for bait placements are points of entry into structure (e.g., along windows, doors, between construction elements) and areas where ants may find water (e.g., eaves, soffits, weep holes), and especially where wires or pipes enter the structure. Bait can also be applied at trees, stumps, roots, wood decks, fences, planter boxes, woodpiles, landscaping, and railroad ties where ants may build nests
