I have 2 1/2 acres, so I have a lot of ants. It took me about 2 weeks to get rid of them in my acre yard. Spray right on the entrance to hill and let it soak in. Now I walk around once a week with my spray and I might see 1 or 2 little ones starting up. So, I guess you can say it works great.

I've not had "ant season" yet, but might I suggest some diatomaceous earth mixed in and maybe sprinkled around. It will kill the ants and they tend to avoid anything that kills them. But...I'm not going to continue to use this because of the dust. IT's a cloud each time I scoop. I'm trying to find a combo of corn and other litter to see if I can find the right mix on my own.

While I don't know for sure my guess would be yes, it would control them. I moved to FL 5 months ago and had ants and sugar ants in the kitchen...horrible...I used this product and they are GONE. This is great stuff and worth trying.

Hello. I do not know the answer to this as I used it for trying to get rid of the ants in my lawn. It kept them at bay but unfortunately they still persist.

Squeeze the bottle to create a jet of dust. Be careful not to breathe this stuff. Apply the jet of dust to moist ground and don't water for a few days. Leave a nice barrier of this around an ant colony, along the base of walls and in concrete cracks - wherever you want to eliminate ant activity. This stuff works amazingly and sticks around for quite a while in a dry environment like S. CA.

I did not use the spray or traps. I don't see my answer from earlier, but, I am sure that I mentioned that I used the powder, and just poured it around the hill. Next day: no ants anymore. You have to find the hill, but, the ants are big and easy to track. Watch your feet and keep moving. One bite will let you know that you were not alert.

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

These ants were so small I didn't really worry about it it. I know it seems a little gross but my understanding is that the ant carry the poison back to the colony and then they slowly die off. Unless you can find where the colony is you will have to deal with this with any product.

Sorry Julie, I don't have ants. But now that you mention it, when I lived in Manhattan, there were some tiny bugs, smaller than ants that enjoyed the litter. I just cleaned the area very well. Maybe mixing the litter with baking soda may help.

Wow, are the ants smarter in California? I would check the bowl for any debris or damage that might provide a pathway for the ants. I'm in Sonoma and no problems. :). Karen

Also Terro ant killer worked for me to get rid of ants. Some other ways have been boiling hot water and other methods like hot aluminum, but who really has access to that? Good luck to you I think you'll get rid of them.

I wondered the same thing, but my mom said I shouldn't have to. Apparently dead ants get eaten by the other ants, or something.

I have been using it as a barrier. It stops the ant I have been using it on. I do not think it kills instantly, I think the ants need to take it back to the nest on their bodies. A professional told me to spray the foundation and up behind the siding.

No, says the pest control company that recommended this to me. This products works. Put a line in an ant path and they go after it. Used this for years.

I did not use them outside, however I would not hesitate if the weather is dry. The ant response was immediate, so one or two good weather days and the ants will probably be gone. Good Luck

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've only used this for black ants. They LOVE it.....at least mine do. I put that down and they come out of the hills in droves to pick it up and carry it away. Then the next day they're completely gone. I put this in the driveway and sidewalk cracks and I just don't get ants anymore.
