I see ants marching right by my fresh bait and showing no interest. Anybody else have uninterested ants?

They appeared that way for me, too, the first time I used it. Uninterested myself, I went to sleep. The next morning, the ants had drunk from the pond of Terro I laid down and disappeared, having returned to their colony and wiped out their brethren. How long have you given it?

i purchased all 4 types of ant killer, the problem usually is using the right type of killer for the right type of ant, and the circustances around the house both inside and outside. the main problem is where to put the bait. usually you have to put the bait where they have to climb over it or through it and get them coming out of the nest. i would put a drop right on the first few i see. ants follow a trail that has been identified by markings from previous ants. you need to make the trap the final destination and erase the original path beyond the bait. solay the poison beyond the trap and make the ants stupid. i purchased all 4 types of ant killer, the problem usually is using the right type of killer for the right type of ant, and the circustances around the house both inside and outside. the main problem is where to put the bait. usually you have to put the bait where they have to climb over it or through it and get them coming out of the nest. i would put a drop right on the first few i see. ants follow a trail that has been identified by markings from previous ants. you need to make the trap the final destination and erase the original path beyond the bait. solay the poison beyond the trap... » Read More i purchased all 4 types of ant killer, the problem usually is using the right type of killer for the right type of ant, and the circustances around the house both inside and outside. the main problem is where to put the bait. usually you have to put the bait where they have to climb over it or through it and get them coming out of the nest. i would put a drop right on the first few i see. ants follow a trail that has been identified by markings from previous ants. you need to make the trap the final destination and erase the original path beyond the bait. solay the poison beyond the trap and make the ants stupid. « Show Less

I had ants marching from behind a kitchen cabinet. They were heading in two different directions. I located where they were coming out from behind the cabinet. I ran a bead of Terro so they could not come out without walking thru it. The ants walked thru it, and about 2 hours later they were all over the wall. The next day they were all gone. Have not seen another one in over 43 months.

Yes, occasionally I do. It depends on the type of ant and if they are searching for this type of food.

I had a few do this. Solved it by putting a drop of the Terro down and 1 drop of honey on top. Killed them quick.

When I have seen them uninterested by the bait, they have eaten some and are disoriented. Like little ant zombies.

Yes absolutely I had the worst ant problem I have ever seen when I moved into my new home. They moved in because of a drought in Texas. The first two days I did not see much of a difference and was about to write a bad review, but I had to go out of town, I left and when I came back the next week there were no more ants, not a single one, in fact it has been almost a year and I still haven't seen one inside or outside since. This stuff is amazing. Also my dog ate 2 of the yard baits we were worried he would get sick but he was perfectly fine that's a plus also.

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.

No - I used about 2" of the tube output to kill what seemed like 1k ants. I have 99% of the tubes still left. But for the small cost of the four pack, it's still an insane deal..even if I never use any more ;-)

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.

None of our ants have died yet (since xmas) but is my understanding that the dead ants will be moved to the top by other ants, then I will have to remove them, I am not sure if that is the case yet but will let you know...

This has ALWAYS worked for me. First you see a few ants and then when you come back a while later there are hordes of ants, its quite unnerving but you have to let it happen. Then suddenly they're gone and its over. I use this with house/black ants. Never fails.

We used it behind our stove and at the pantry door sill. We're here and the ants are not here. Nor are any other bugs around. Good stuff.

I didn't see any reduction in Argentine ant activity around my yard when I used these Hb nematodes. Whether there are other nematodes that infect ants, I don't know. I kind of doubt it though, ants are great survivors.

Terro Ant Baits really worked for me. I watch them crawl right in, one after the other.

I originally was filling the moat but as time went on I stopped doing that. So far, I haven't had any ant problems at all. Not sure if this is typical though. Fyi, I have 2 of these feeders that are placed in different parts of the yard.

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.

Mine hangs from a hook off my deck and I have some wasps but they don't get into the food. I've never had ants or other bugs. When it's really hot I clean them every 3rd day but when it's cooler once a week. The hummers really like them. I have two of them.

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.

I leave the food out all day in their bowl and it doesn't attract ants let alone flys. Since it's healthy dog food it's not even apetizing for flys I don't see those around the food lol

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

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.
