No More Ants. Period.

As you see by the name, I proudly live in NYC with my family, in Brooklyn in a first-floor railroad apartment with wonderful back and front windows. Pavement ants have invaded year after year: these guys have been impervious to borax with sugar water, borax with meat solution, borax with peanut butter, Combat traps, Brand X traps. I got so fed up with these meat-eaters attacking the cat's food, then running through the house into the bathroom, living room: that one day I said: WHY am I messing around? Just buy a can of spray and make warfare: spray them down.
Well, I was doubtful even about this, when I purchased a can of Raid unscented ant and roach spray. No more. We are ant-free.
Now... this is how I apply it, and we have a kitty, so one must be careful to take precautions!:
Once a week.
No. It is not realistic or reasonable to expect one application to eradicate the problem. Because, for every ant inside your home there are millions more outside waiting for the chance. The invading ants leave pheremone scent-trails inviting more. Do it faithfully once a week. I sprayed window sills, particularly the outer ones, and waited for everything to be bone dry before allowing kitty at the windows. I sprayed crevices, sprayed behind radiators. Wherever the ants sneak around. Went outside where I had access in front, and sprayed below the doorstep and along sides of building. Once a week. Not only did the ants disappear, but I found dead flies and other insects in the sills where they had landed on the poison.
For a few bucks? Amazing stuff. And not smelly. Made of gold.

This stuff WORKS. I had an ant colony in my mailbox and it was gone immediately with the help of this.

Boy, do these little things work.  We have so many voracious ants here in South Florida that it's almost impossible to defeat them once they find a feeder.  This guard keeps them off.  It works particularly well with a feeder which has a small depression on top for an additional water barrier.  If you have an ant problem, this product will solve it.

We tried Orkin and Clark. They played with the ants for months. One of them told me CA limits what they can use as bug juice here and it isn't your Grandma's Mixture -of- Death. I bought 8 of the baits/traps, lined 'em up next to the throne since the ants had a highway built to go from under one wall to under another wall. This way I could sit there and watch them while ..... never mind. A few ants went after some blue liquid bait that you squirt on little cardboard strips. After a few croaked right on the cardboard, the ants left it alone just like the other 40-some dollars worth of bait. I tried many sprays and many concentrations of those sprays. We don't have any punkins any more and own no critters. Some of those mixtures, well, the EPA is probably still looking for me. I called up the local college biology and bug dept and together we agreed that I has housing Pharaoh type ants. While this Bayer doesn't really make a big deal about my kind of ants, it was the only product of the 6 or so different mixers that worked. The ONLY one! No more ants crawling wherever they wished, no more partaaays under the sink, no more close order drilling under the bedroom floor keeping me awake at night. I mix it up the way it is s'posed to be, spray the yard, house, orange tree, yard, all the Wife's weeds, the driveway, sidewalks, and any straight line or meeting places of interspace planes. Everywhere outdoors. Every six months when no rain will be present for two days or so at least. Kills the ants and then they go away or all die. Also kills the Chinese cockroach-lookin' things we have imported out here. Doesn't seem to hurt the rolly-polly bugs (look like tiny armadillos), toads, or most importantly, Larry the Lizard, who provides me with years of entertainment when he skitters somewhere and scares my Wife. I *think* that there are so many different types of ants that you have to experiment a little to find the best way to deal with your particular problem. The pros sure tried to find and nests and troubleshoot the problem when they were turned loose. Anyway, this stuff works outdoors, and consequently indoors, in Northern CA on the little brown Pharaoh guys. I have no idea if works on the big black 3/8" Iowa ants. May need Tasers for those things. Experiment with different baits and bug juice. I use an old Ortho Dial-A-Mix 9or some such name) jug screwed to the hose to do the spraying and then take a shower right after attacking everything. With the Dialer type hose thingy, I'm able to adjust my own concentrations during experiments and cover lots of ground real fast. Yeah, it is expensive to to go through a whole jug of juice at once but I have other things to do besides daintily spraying for ants all the time. Important things, like watching the drought kill my grass so farmers can grow cotton in the CA desert and plant more almond trees to keep China in almonds. We won't go into CA trying to regulate cow farts, I'm trying to kill ants!

Seems to be working, took about a week for me to notice, however, the annoying, relentless ants seem to be gone.

I set the traps out where the ants were, they found them within an hour, started going back and forth to their nest and within 4 hours there were no more ants, very impressed with an inexpensive product.
I will buy them again

I THINK it works.  Ants seems to have left, but I'm too afraid to leave anything on the counter to test it.  Go by other reviews than mine,,,

This product is awesome.  The trick is to let the ants take the poison/bait back to their nest and get it to the rest of the family.  After a few days theres no more ants to worry about.

Having moved to a new house, I found that I had a completely different variety of ants that ignored the Borax and Sugar in water mixture that had worked like gangbusters before. Desperate for a solution and having used these outside before, I grabbed a couple packs and placed them everywhere I saw a ant tail inside and out.

Within days the numbers had dwindled, and by the end of the week there were no ants inside or outside the house.

I will have one warning though and that is place them someplace where they will not be kicked or knocked over. If you do the contents may spill out which is a pain to clean up. Where this has happened was in my office and the solution had somewhat dried into a past (I needed a blow dryer to heat it up to make it easy to clean up),

Aside from that, it works magic.

This is the only product i have found that really got rid of all the ants!! I tried every brand and they would come right back, or never leave at all. This Terro brand was Amazing!! I haven't seen an ant for months!! And we had two floods too! I highly recommend this product.

A really nice product that works as advertised. I had lots of problems with ants in my hummingbird feeder. It was a constant annoyance. I would remove the feeder and wait for the ants to go away. Then I would put the feeder back up, and instantly the ants were back. Then I looked for a solution and I found the Trap-it. So simple, and a wonderful solution. The ants have stopped and the feeder is just for hummingbirds and not the ants.

This stuff works. Had a small ant problem that started getting worse every day-- when I found one on my shirt one day I knew I had to do something. I did some googling and bought this ant bait and put one pack out for the night, I knew where they might be coming from because my cat started following some of them around and staring at a particular corner of my house. There were maybe 30 dead ants a foot away from the poison the next morning. I left the ants because I read somewhere that ants take their dead back to their colony, and by the afternoon they were all gone. My husband put another one out for good measure. I'll leave them out for the rest of the week but I haven't seen an ant in the last 2 days now. I felt a tinge of guilt, but I just can't have ants crawling all over the place, they really do get everywhere if you let them.

The best way to keep ants of the hummingbird feeder. I used this ant guard last year and not once did I have ants on my feeder! I highly recommend this product.

I had these tiny specks (ants) on my kitchen counter and stove, even when no food was present. A friend told me about this product. We used it 10 days ago and I haven't seen any ants until,SO relieved I saw just one, today. I then remembered that my friend said to retreat once or twice to get rid of hatching eggs which were already laid.  If my satisfaction continues, I would give Maxforce 5 stars or more! What a relief, thought I would never be rid of those critters, disgusting and embarrassing NO MORE!  Thank You!
