I need an ant farm for large ants, I don't want the common house/garden ants who are a nuisance, is this for large ants?

Hello, thanks for your interest in our Ant Universe. This kit is for regular ants, not the larger seize ants.

Thank you for the question. I am sorry wee do not sell something similar for large ants.

I thought so at first. We had a small infestation when we moved into a new house. They went away and it was all good. Then the neighbors got a divorce and they came back. Now, the more we spray the more they multiply. Weve had to switch because they just keep getting worse. Its amazing for ants tho.

Yes! I mainly use it for sugar ants. Let them take the bait back to their "nest"...meaning...you need to let them crawl around for a day after leaving the bait out without killing them. Once it's been out for a day or two you will notice...no more ants. Many months later you may notice a return, if it's a problem area but you'll have the Terro on hand!

The ant moat is the little ring around the hook on the top. You can fill that with water to help keep the ants out. I have found that the ants (wasps or bees) don't really bother the birds. The thing that will really bother the birds is if the feeder gets dirty or moldy; especially in hot weather I clean the feeders every 3 days.

I use it at the base of my raised beds. The garden is fenced so my animals cannot get to it. I would not use it next to my actual plants because I think the ants carry it down into my soil. Hope this helps some.

I don't understand the question. The feeder itself retards bees, and the little water moat keeps ants at bay pretty well, although some reviewers mentioned needing an additional ant guard.

I think the product works well. Last Spring, most days I saw a couple carpenter ants here and a couple there - outside my house. And in a 1-week period - 3 inside my house (The ones inside my house might have come inside to forage for food because they just woke up from hibernating somewhere outside). I sprinkled about 1/2 bottle around the outside of my house and now I haven't seen any ants - not even the smaller black ones that are usually outside my house. Now that the ants are less of them - or gone, the spiders in the grass have multiplied - More spiders in my house.

I have not had a problem with ants. I would assume if you keep the little opening on the side closed you would not have a problem.

While not an expert on ants, I do believe (based on the pictures) that I have some carpenter ants at my cabin. This Terro Ant Killer has greatly reduced my ant problem with all ants. There are still a few but nothing like before. For the price, it's definitely worth trying. I've got to order some more for my mother who has an infestation of thousands of small ants in her house. Wish I could answer your question with 100% certainty. I would, however, be surprised if it didn't work on carpenter ants. Terro has a website where they will answer any questions or concerns that you might have. http://www.terro.com/guide-ants.php

It does make the ants clear the mound . But I found they will burrow out other outlets, since their tunnels are numerous, you have to make sure you stay on them, and do this when the ground is dry ! Hope this helps

My apologies Marilyn I spoke too soon. Try tree tanglefoot in the 15 ounce tub. I've only used the one type for spiders and insects in the house. It works great there. Tanglefoot says that Tree Tanglefoot is specifically for your problem, ants and other insects. Next time I will do more research before I answer. Good luck Walt

Of the 60 ants that we received about six weeks ago, only a couple have died. It seems that the other ants move them to a corner of ant farm to make a graveyard. They go on with their other activities. Opening the top to let O2 in makes them very active, and one time a few escaped. I may have pinched one when I closed the top, and this may have contributed to one ant's early demise. At this point, I'm not sure if an ant will die here and there or if the entire colony will expire at some end point.

Just separate the individual boxes as needed. Place the boxes with the entryway towards the inflow of ants. I use several boxes in heavily infested spots, then discard them in the garbage when they are full. My ant problem disappeard in about 2 weeks, and I haven't seen any since. They were entering from a crack at the base of the cabinet under my bathroom sink and were attracted to the food in my cat's dish.

I think this ant habitat is better than the others out there - my ants lived for a month in this AntHill. I think it's because of the larger volume of air inside with the "above ground/below ground" set up. The old-style ant farm with the two windows pressed against each other perspired with condensation on us and the ants died in a week, and the blue gel ant-quarium was worse since it is filled with semi-liquid gel. It actually grew mold and our ants keeled over right away. Anyway, our ants lived long enough in the AntHill one to finish tunneling and we released them when we had a picnic at a park nearby - seemed like a fitting finish to us!

Typically you would not use this for carpenter ants. It'll work and it is labeled for regular ants, but it is not labeled for carpenter ants.

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.

I know you said you tried everything, but I had a huge ant infestation for the first 2 years in my house. I stumbled on Terro Ant Killer Liquid Baits, which I had never seen before and only one Wal Mart near me stocks them (occasionally). I bought a 4 pack and left one bait in each spot where I saw an ant trail. I usually have no need to put more down until the following spring and I really don't see the ants in my house like I used to since I'm guessing that I've killed off the more established colonies. But if you haven't tried them, give them a shot.
