Unwanted house guest
By Ratchanee on 10/06/2010
Every year around August/September the heat really drives the ants inside without fail. I've tried baits and the sonic repeller and they would work for awhile but the ants would come back. I noticed results the very next day after my husband sprayed the outside perimeter with the Pro-Citra DL Aerosol and the Terro PCO Ant Bait Stations.

Still waiting
By Thomas on 10/29/2010
I had a pretty bad infestation of the little black ants (the ones everyone says are sugar ants) when I moved into my apartment. So I bought these after the complex's pest control guy said I was SOL; since it is a bait, I figured it would work better than any spray. Well it seemed to work great at first; I set out 6 on the computer desk that is built into my bedroom, 6 on one side of the kitchen counter, 6 on the other side, and 6 in the master bathroom. The instructions say to use 7 but I figured with as much is in them, 6 would be more than enough. All of the ants started swarming the containers within a few minutes, and within a few days, I didn't see them anymore. Well, that was a month ago. I've left the containers out to get any stragglers, and I just got back from a 3 day trip out of town. My kitchen sink had some dishes in it when I left, and when I walked in tonight, the ants were all over the place. Everywhere but the bait containers, actually. Smart little buggers I think. I'm going to try relocating the containers on the counter to see if it helps, and I will update the review if I manage to get rid of them completely.

Seems to work

I had purchased everything that I could find at the big box stores, but the ants have walked right by it, never spotting a single ant eating any of it. When I put this stuff out within minutes they were coming in to feed by the hundreds. I hope they're dying from it and not just dining.

Works great for some types of ants
By Stephen on 05/01/2012
We had a very annoying, persistent problem with ants in our kitchen. We tried several other brands of ant baits with no effect. One Terro-PCO ant bait wiped them out completely within a couple of days. Same results in one of our closets. But no apparent effect in another location in our basement, on what to my non-entomologist's naked eye appear to be the same kind of ants -- small, black ones, showing no interest whatever in the Terro-PCO bait. So mostly satisfied and would recommend the product.

Outstanding product.
By Steve on 06/17/2017
We had a heavy concentration of sugar ants in one half of our kitchen. After I put out the first two baits, I stood and watched. Unfortunately, the ants had very little interest. After awhile, I picked up one of the baits and sprinkled the liquid around the area. The ants attacked it like it was the last supper! The next day, there were a few stragglers around but nothing like before. Now, our problem is solved. Even though I would rather not have to spread the liquid manually, it doesn't bother me much because the product is so effective.
