Yes, it can be used outdoor, too. Some come with a stack that you can stick it in the dirt. Terro is the only ant bait that works. I tried different brands, none work.

The directions that came with the traps says they are for both indoor and outdoor use. I would position them so that they were not in any standing water as it might enter the traps and dilute/release the poison.

Sure the water is in the can for such a short time I doubt that there would be ant problem. If you find a problem return it.

Good question, as I had the same concern (most seemed to be for in ground pools). I have an above-ground pool and this works great in it.

I had ants in my dinning room around my cat's food bowl which is in front of the microwave stand. I put one under the stand and my cat didn't botherbit and she plays with everything. The next day I saw 2 ants and none since, its been about 3 weeks. I see no reason why they can't be used on the kitchen counter if placed away from the sink out of the way of water splashes. The ants will find the trap.

I placed mine in high ant traffic areas, luckily for me it was almost on each corner of the house. These work amazing, the Terro product kills them within days, I have never seen an ant in the house, and I use the small liquid baits in two cars that were infested with ants and they were all gone within a couple of days

I found that it was easy to use and provided an excellent barrier around the house against a variety of ants from carpenter ants, little red ones to those pesky little black ones that seemed like sugar ants. I have actually walked around the yard, sprinkled them on ant hills and after one little rain they were gone. Definitely worth the purchase.

Ants can crawl through very, very small crevices and there is no way this box would keep an ant out if it wanted in. You would have to have some kind of seal on these to ensure ants didn't get in. Having said that - I've never known an ant to go after salt. That's a new one. My experience has been that salt is pretty safe when it comes to pests and this is tight enough to keep anything bigger than an ant out anyway.

Not sure...back of the label says it's okay for unused swimming pools. But it also says to avoid contact with eyes. I'd give them call to be sure. 800-222-1222

I do not know of any restrictions about using it around the heater, it comes in gel form. however if you stick it by the heater it will still draw all the ants out. all you have to do is get it to as close to the answer as you can and they will find it by the hundreds

I am sure ants would be able to get inside this unit. i would not use it outside.

I would not leave it out in the backyard considering insects and such can crawl into the ball pit and cats could possible ruin it too if you know what I mean..that could be a nightmare.... You also would not want this to get rained on. We have ours in the game room. Its large but it is not obnoxiously large

Works with swarming carpenter ants. Fire ants usually found outside and there are many products to eradicate those.

It's not recommended for inside use without taking proper precautions. I've found if you take care of the ant problem outside you shouldn't have ants inside. If you do, you could spray with a product safe to use indoors. I wouldn't think you would need to spray after a rain unless it rained immediately after spraying. If you have a return of ants after some time has passed since spraying you may have to spray again. You didn't indicate what kind of ants you have. That can influence the method of control you use. The use of a bait that the ants carry back to the nest is quite helpful also. Hope this helps. It's not recommended for inside use without taking proper precautions.

Yes. I haven't used it yet because my Aquabot vacuum is running in pool for that reason. Sand doesn't seem to settle in corner like the leaves and such.

I don't think you want to get them wet. Mine are around the pool on cement but the rain must have gotten water in the tubing. I saw that under some feet were brown rusty marks.

I had to spray it twice one week apart. Then the Ants are gone for months now. I used it to spray outside around the house.

Sure you can. Just sprinkle a little on top of the ant hill and in 2 or 3 days they just disappear. Work like a charm.
