I don't live in an area with fire ants (thank goodness) - just have ants, big and little, does this work on them?

Sorry Lucinda, we are opposite, don't have regular ants, so I don't know answer to that question. Sorry

I am sorry I cannot give you an absolute answer, I have only used it on fire ants, but I will try it on other ants and let you know!

Probably not for the ants. It probably only works with creatures that eat wood and blocks some enzyme associated with digesting wood. I think it could prevent mold on wood, but if it already has mold, you should replace the wood first.

I thinks. It says kills ticks and fire ants on contact. I use it to kill fleas

It works excellent on spiders. I am not sure on the mites, but I know it kills fire ants and anything that kills them I'm sure would kill a mite.

I don't know. I did not use it on carpenter ants. I did however, have other ants besides fire ants and carpenter ants, and it did work on those.

You betcha. Most of my ant problems are black carpenter ants. The only thing about these baits that would limit their use is that they are liquid, so if you can't leave them in place, undisturbed, for the time it takes to work, say the only place you've seen the ants is a high traffic area, then they're not effective. Luckily for me (not so lucky for the ants) is that there's usually more than one trail on which they travel, and one of them is bound to be low traffic.

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 worked fantastically for me when I had a black ant (sugar) problem. I placed mine near what I thought was the source and within a day or two they were all gone. Try leaving it be and don't move/check it. I don't believe this works with red ants if that's what you have.

By the reviews, this is suppose to work on ants. I have acres of land to treat. There are many kind of ants but the main problem ants are FIRE ants, red ants, & the big black ones ( not carpenter ants). I mix this granules with several other brands of ant killers and use a liquid product that is for ants also. I have found it is best to use it late evenings, place it around the beds and do every ant bed I find. I place the mix in a large shaker can or use a small scoop so I can go al around the edges of beds then I use the liquid to squirt the beds also. I live in the south, it is hot here. Ants are present almost all year round. All it seems like ant poisons do is they move their beds to another area. I've talked to our agriculture agents and other farmers, nothing works all of the time. You may kill one queen but as other eggs hatch, you have different ( new) ants to kill. is what I've been told. I have not tried burning like this agent suggested. One agent told me he used gasoline in his fields to and burned the beds but do not try it without someone to help you control any fire and do not use close to buildings or your home. I have standard poodles and also have rescued standards. I'd love to find a product I could say, yes it works. Products that worked on killing ants about 20 years ago have been outlawed now. Those worked.

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.

Sorry it took so long to answer back. I've used only on carpenter ant and wasps!! It works great on those two.

I only used it on huge fire ant bed. Didnt notice anything else died. It took 3 applications but they seem to be gone. We will see over the next few months if they come back.

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 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.

I wouldn't recommend buying this product as it did not work for me at all. My problem was ants though and I used the following product. Not sure if it would help you or not. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Q3QQNC/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_13

I have yet to find an ant species that doesn't like this product. Granted, yours may be a different variety but I have seen it attract and kill at least 2 different types (Black and Crazy).
