You should treat the outside of your home as well. Try Terro Outdoor Ant Killer Granules – it’s an easy to use granular product you sprinkle around the perimeter of your home and water-in. This kills ants on contact and creates a barrier that helps prevent the ants from entering your home.

After baiting for two weeks and if the ants are still present follow up using Terro Ant Killer Spray which kills ants on contact. This is a crack and crevice spray which can be used on ants wherever possible indoors or outdoors; in hiding places, behind sinks, cabinets, along baseboards and floors, and around drains and plumbing. Designed and packaged with a spray tube attachment puts the product where ants live and away from consumers.

Using these products together will help get your ant problem under control.

Good luck!

They like bacon grease, and grease and food.
I think if you place some food with grease on it in the traps, they will crawl into them.

Get some Terro. It’s available in a lot of grocery, hardware and discount stores. It’s fairly safe around pets and kids because it’s based on Borax and does not involve fumes that might not be good for your rabbit. However, do place the baits where children and pets can’t get to them, just to be safe. The ants need to feed on the baits and take the “food” back to the nest and the Terro will kill the whole nest.

I’ve used the Terro on every kind of ant we get here in North Central PA from those little red suckers that bite to the bigger, black carpenter ants with good success. Inside and outside too! Even though the label on the Terro says for sweet eating ants, my success makes me think the buggers won’t pass up what they perceive as a free meal.

I’m sure if in the right situation a carpenter ant could bite but I’ve never been bitten by one even when working cutting wood. It’s those rotten little red suckers ya gotta watch for!

Wish you the best.
