Bait had no effect
By Pete on 04/09/2025
Applied this product to target many small house ants. It had little to no effect. From what I can tell, the ants are not interested in this gel or solid bait.
Expert response:
Thank you for your feedback regarding the ant bait. It's important to note that ants’ feeding behavior can vary depending on the colony’s needs. At times, they may not be actively foraging for food—especially if they’re focused on nesting, reproducing, or if other food sources are more appealing. This can make baits seem ineffective, even though the product itself is working as intended.
In situations where ants are not responding to bait, we recommend supplementing your treatment with a residual insecticide spray, applied to entry points and high-traffic areas. This can help reduce the population and prevent further infestation while baiting remains in place. Consistent monitoring and adjusting your approach based on ant activity is key to effective long-term control.
