By this I mean THE ant which contacted it, not the colony.
There are many variables that can change how long a product takes to kill an ant such as health and age of the ant, how long the product has been in place, how much of the product the ant got on it, etc. In general it can take any where from 1 day to around a week for the ant to die.
