Will it kill Thief ants and Pharoah ants?

It will kill any ants that eat sugar. If the ants eat protein you'll need a different type of bait (the granular kind). Pharoah ants eat sweets so it will work on them, while Thief ants eat mostly protein so you'll need something different for them.Good luck!

I don't know what Thief or Pharoah ants are but I suspect this product will work on them.It has done wonders for me in killing whatever type of ants we have in all rooms - kitchen, laundryroom, etc. Used to get heavy infestation especially in laundry room where sometimes cat food is left in bowls andalso after heavy period of rain the ants seemed to come in more. After using the gel plus granules bait in traps,no more ants! Suggest yo try it.

Yes it will kill roaches. That is why I bought it. It also stopped ants from invading my house. Since I put it along the baseboard on my porch area, I haven't seen any spiders around my front door.

I have only used it on ants and spiders but I don't see why not. Couldn't hurt to try. You could always save it for ant invasions if it doesn't.

No, it does not. T o kill ants I use a home remedy of diatomaceous earth (found on amazon) you sprinkle it in problem areas and it is safe. You can also mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar together and leae it near their trail or if you can locate the colony then I would apply it there. My spider and ant problem out of the kitchen and around the exterior of the house, I use ortho home defense.

YES. I live on a ranch and we have many varieties of ants. Big and small,, black and red, biting and stinging ones. I powder every nest I find at the entrance and any crawling ones around it. It works within minutes and is non toxic to birds and pets. Just be sure not to get the powder wet.

No, you would need a dissaplin training for that--this device does work on ants for me and also fleas--it keeps them away from my house and my animals!

Yes, but there is an Advion fire ant bait specifically for use outdoors for fire ants. To quote Dupont's literature; ""DuPont ADVION ant gel is specifically formulated to be attractive to all major pest species of ants such as Acrobat, Argentine, Big-headed, Carpenter, Cornfield, Crazy, Field, Ghost, Harvester*, Honey, Little black, Odorous house, Pavement, Pharaoh*, Pyramid, Red Imported Fire Ant*, Rover, Thief, and White-footed. ADVION ant gel contains the active ingredient, indoxacarb, a non-repellent insecticide. Use of ADVION ant gel will help eliminate ants within days of applying the gel according to the use directions. *ADVION ant gel is effective at killing Pharoah ants, foraging red imported fire ants and harvester ants. For complete control of outdoor nests of these species, use additional treatments labeled for outdoor nest control of these species.""

I agree with the other two responses: I have no idea about fire ants but the product works very well with the little tiny ants that invaded my kitchen. It did about a month until they were completely gone.

The way it works is the ants swarm the stuff, and then carry it back to the colony / nest where the other ants eat it, as well as the queen. It's a slow-acting poison. When it kills the queen.....no more ants. I found that this particular brand is VERY slow acting. The tough part (with any ant bait like this) is that you have to just let them swarm so they can take the poison back to the colony.

It only kills the existing ones but it does not prevent them. I use it to kill the existing ones then I use talstar to prevent new ones

Carpenter ants are a pain!. I use a sugar and borax mixture to kill the whole lot of them works better than anything else I've tried.good luck!

Hi Dorothy, thanks for the question. I actually purchased this for the treatment of carpenter ants! I had a terrible invasion in a dead Fig tree limb, you should have seen them! Unfortunately I cannot post links here, but if you go to YouTube and search "boric acid kill ants" I'd suggest the videos by CupRockTv as well as gregthegardner. I don't own those videos, but I just did a bit if checking for you and I can recommend them. Let me know if you need anything else and have a fantastic day! -Nic

I would say probably yes because it says to keep away from your pets. But yuou may want to send a email to Terro directly and ask them to be sure. But as for using it on Ants it works amazingly. I have never seen anything that works so fast on the ants. We have used the indoor and out door ones. This one is for indoor ants.

This kills any insect, i.e. ants, spiders, moths, flies, etc, that enters the protected space. Keep in mind you DO NOT want to breath this stuff, it's not intended for habitated spaces. When I get to camp I immediately place the pest strips in a zip lock bag and air the place out, then I rehang them when I leave. I also date them with a Magic Marker so I know how old they are.

not that I know of. I use it to kill Argentine Ants which were destroying my a/c unit.

yes it does kill carpenter ants. I used it for termites and it is a terrific product. The ants will carry the foam backto the nest where it will kill all that come in contact with it.
