My ant bait did not come with instructions? How do I get the tip off and put the other tip on? How do you store it? Thanks so much!

The tip twists off. Sometimes it's on there really tight, so use pliers to twist it off to save your fingers. The applicator tip then twists right on. Keep the original tip for storage.

I Googled the DuPont website and was able to navigate easily to Advion. I found instruuctions and printed them.The cap is threaded. Rotating counterclockwise removed it easily. I have just stored it at room temp. I found it difficult to spread in a2 millimeter strip as recommended. It seems to come out in a blob. Good luck.

The cap twists off counter clockwise. The tip goes on clockwise. Keep the product stored away from heat and cold. 50*-75*

I cut the top of the tip off just enough to release the gel I then applied just a drop were I saw the ants running it only requires a small drop my ants were going into the light switch and plug outlets place a small drop where you think they are coming from it is very stickie so try not to touch it took just two applications to solve the ant problem that was about 6 months ago ikeep my fingers crossed hopelully they wont come back after I finish I put a toothpick in the end of the tube to seal that seems to hold ok good luck hope this info helps you

Mine took a month, still waiting on two to hatch. Maybe temp outside ?. Tiny ants got to one of the two yet to hatch. Waiting to see what happens with that one. Good luck !

You use dry ice in the middle of the trap to attract bed bugs. I don't know what you would use to attract ants. Some kind of food, I guess. First you would need to catch some ants, put them in the trap, and see if the traps holds them in. If it does, yes, you could catch ants in the trap and then set them free outside.

No. It is just the plastic bait station. However, you really don't need much in it, just enough to cover the bottom. Helpful hint: I mixed my InTice granules sometimes with a few teaspoons of sugar or sometimes with finely crushed peanuts, to change up, as I've been told ants love sugar and protein. It drew them to it quickly and in about a week, my ant issue was non existant. The lids snap on tight but check the stations every couple of weeks especially after heavy rain to ensure the granules did not get wet and cake up from being knocked over or dug up by bigger things! If so, dump it and replace with fresh material. The bottle lasted me a few months and I have 12 stations. Good luck! No. It is just the plastic bait station.

Mine was a granite counter. It had a little sticky debris surrounding the plastic trap. I'm guessing this was what the ants took with them as they left the trap. I just used the normal granite cleaner and some Sprayway, which is a foam glass cleaner.

Some question. Where are you putting it? They went crazy for it when i put it out! You have to put it where the ants are coming out of and i doubt it will work if you are putting it outside. Your question comes with many other questions. For me, it was super effective because i followed the directions

It doesn't always look like it is attracting ants. They are supposed to carry it back to their nest. And it sometimes seems they are gone and then they are back. So it often takes more than one dose. Be patient and see what happens. I don't know about the shelf life but I would doubt it is bad after a year.

There is a plug in the trap that you must remove before you set the bait out. Just pull on it,carefull not to damage the bait, once out, set the bait where you want tit. It worked for me

Cheryl, Plain old soap and water will do the trick. And I'd use a paper towel when doing the washing. As for detergent; nothing fancy is needed. The active in this bait is so mild and vulnerable any detergent will kill it and when mixed with water? The net result will dilute the bait to a harmless derivative that can safely be thrown away in the trash.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

I had the exact same problem. I finally broke down and bought some extra tips. Supposedly you can soak them in acetone to clean the tips.(I think it needs to soak for 24 hrs.

There were good instructions with the trap. If you don't have it. Just find a run the mole is using by mashing down a spot and see if it gets pushed back up over night. Then with a probe determine the actual underground tunnel sides. Insert the tongs of the trap so that both are in the run. push the set lever down till it latches with your foot. You don't have to flatten the run before hand. I have caught 6 in 2 months. If you set it correctly a mole will not get past it. There are several videos using this trap on You Tube. Search for "Mole Eliminator trap" Good luck, Nibby4239

I used the Terro outdoor liquid and bait 6 pack T1806, as I could see them outside and this worked really well. I used 2 bait traps and placed them where they already had a trail to follow. I have not seen anymore big black ants in the house. I have used the small bait traps in the house with success but you need to keep them away from children and pets. Again you need to find the trail where they come into the area where they are located and put the trap where they have to walk on it or through it coming in or going out. Ants follow a path and don't change the path unless you do some thing to interrupt it. In the spring flying ants come out of the nests and fly off to make new nests, if you see them, kill them, use a spray, by hand, or knock them out of the air to the grown and step on them. I have used most of there products for ants and they have worked very well for me. Just read and follow the directions.

Not sure what you mean exactly...but you just hook your feeder to the ant trap,,,the trap itself is about 2 inches, It looks a little weird, but it works beautifully. We had ants for the two years before we got the trap and now there are none. I have heard that once the ants learn they can't get to the feeder, they won't even try to come back. Hope this helps

Yes, once they find the ant bait they will lay a trail for other ants to follow. Soon you should have a swarm of ants on the ant trap. Make sure the trap is in a spot which the ants are traversing by.

I placed one in the corner of my counter because there was an army of ants targeting the sugar bowl in my kitchen. I think as long as it doesn't come in contact with any food items or cooking surfaces (that is if it doesn't spill anywhere), it should be safe. I feel these baits are safer than using insect sprays.

Depending on the size of the ant mound (their colony) it can take a couple of days. They need to take it home and share it with the zillions of ants down in the ground, especially the queen ant. BE PATIENT and keep feeding them fresh gel. If it dries out they can't eat it. Other than digging out the colony, and finding the EGGS and queen and destroying them all by hand using bait is the only way I know of riding them. And this is simply the BEST bait I've ever found.

Most likely to much bait. I was doing that at first. I took a butter knife and just got a dab on the tip of the knife and put it on the rim of the bait hole. Make them have to go all the way to the hole. They have strong smell. They will go for it. Hope it works!
