Vitax Nippon Ant Killer Liquid Insect Control,

Product Information

Going this route isn’t for everyone and we haven’t found any conclusive evidence that the homemade versions are any more effective than Terro, in fact, the opposite may be true.

In our survey of Wirecutter staffers, we got a report of an unnoticed spill leaving a hazy area on a hardwood floor. Do not disturb feeding ants as it is essential they take the bait back to the nest and the rest of the colony. But what appears to be unique to Terro—and what sets them apart—is the recipe for the sweet sauce they add to the borax to attract the ants. Effective for up to one month, in the first instance change the bait every day until ant activity ceases (usually 7 to 10 days). The bait can be applied using applicator gun, you can add bait stations above to keep bait protected from weather, animals etc.The dual coloring and sticky pad make for an ant bait that can more easily fade into the background (as long as you have either white or brown decor). Unintentional ingestion of small amounts of borax can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. As we said above, this method kills only individual ants and does nothing against the colony as a whole. If you do have a tight spot where you can’t fit a bait station, we recommend Terro T200 Liquid Ant Killer. Terro’s T334 baits use the same successful toxin as the T300 version does, and they can mount on a vertical surface.

They also make it easier for you to mount the bait station higher up and out of reach of both children and pets. Over a period of about 7 to 10 days a fatal dose of Nippon Ant Killer Liquid will build up in the queen herself, and eradicate the whole nest. This is the older stuff which worked for me in past, unfortunately the liquid within seems thick or dried out. Many bait products can be used indoors or outdoors including in food preparation areas; however, some are strictly for outdoor use.It is literally inside a box with a clear cellophane top so I can look in and see the bait and the ants, nothing could have disturbed it. A toddler ingesting the contents of a bait station usually would not get enough insecticide to be dangerous.
